Bone marrow infiltration by flow cytometry at diffuse large B-cell lymphoma NOS diagnosis implies worse prognosis without considering bone marrow histology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The significance of discrepant findings between histology (BMB) and flow cytometry (FC) in bone marrow (BM) examination at diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) diagnosis is uncertain. METHODS We performed a 5-year retrospective single-center study of patients diagnosed by DLBCL not otherwise specified (n = 82), divided into three groups according to BM infiltration at diagnosis: BMB-/FC- (75.6%), BMB+/FC+ (13.4%), and BMB-/FC+ (11%). RESULTS Median infiltration by FC analysis of the BMB-/FC+ group was 0.8% and if we considered BM infiltration as positive in all cases, 4/9 would be upstaged. Median follow was 33 months. Event-free survival (EFS) after 18 months was 82, 23, and 27% for BMB-/FC-, BMB-/FC+, and BMB+/FC+, respectively (p < .001). After 18 months of observation, OS was 87, 46, and 55% for BMB-/FC-, BMB-/FC+, and BMB+/FC+, respectively (p = .001). In multivariate analysis (BM infiltration vs. cell-of-origin according to Hans algorithm and standard IPI), BM infiltration was independently associated with EFS (HR: 1.94, 95% CI: 1.3-2.9) and overall survival (HR: 1.69, 95% CI: 1.1-2.7). CONCLUSION In summary, minimal BM infiltration, detected by FC but not by BMB, has same prognostic implications than overt BM infiltration and should be considered as extranodal involvement regardless the infiltration quantity.

[ 18F]Fludarabine-PET as a promising tool for differentiating CNS lymphoma and glioblastoma: Comparative analysis with [ 18F]FDG in human xenograft models. Am J Cancer Res 2018; 8:4563-4573. [PMID: 30214639 PMCID: PMC6134939 DOI: 10.7150/thno.26754] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2018] [Accepted: 07/30/2018] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
This paper investigated whether positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with [18F]fludarabine ([18F]FDB) can help to differentiate central nervous system lymphoma (CNSL) from glioblastoma (GBM), which is a crucial issue in the diagnosis and management of patients with these aggressive brain tumors. Multimodal analyses with [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histology have also been considered to address the specificity of [18F]FDB for CNSL. Methods: Nude rats were implanted with human MC116 lymphoma-cells (n = 9) or U87 glioma-cells (n = 4). Tumor growth was monitored by MRI, with T2-weighted sequence for anatomical features and T1-weighted with gadolinium (Gd) enhancement for blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability assessment. For PET investigation, [18F]FDB or [18F]FDG (~11 MBq) were injected via tail vein and dynamic PET images were acquired up to 90 min after radiotracer injection. Paired scans of the same rat with the two [18F]-labelled radiotracers were investigated. Initial volumes of interest were manually delineated on T2w images and set on co-registered PET images and tumor-to-background ratio (TBR) was calculated to semi-quantitatively assess the tracer accumulation in the tumor. A tile-based method for image analysis was developed in order to make comparative analysis between radiotracer uptake and values extracted from immunohistochemistry staining. Results: In the lymphoma model, PET time-activity curves (TACs) revealed a differential response of [18F]FDB between tumoral and healthy tissues with average TBR varying from 2.45 to 3.16 between 5 to 90 min post-injection. In contrast, [18F]FDG demonstrated similar uptake profiles for tumoral and normal regions with TBR varying from 0.84 to 1.06 between these two time points. In the glioblastoma (GBM) model, the average TBRs were from 2.14 to 1.01 for [18F]FDB and from 0.95 to 1.65 for [18F]FDG. Therefore, inter-model comparisons showed significantly divergent responses (p < 0.01) of [18F]FDB between lymphoma and GBM, while [18F]FDG demonstrated overlap (p = 0.04) between the groups. Tumor characterization with histology (based mainly on Hoechst and CD79), as well as with MRI was overall in better agreement with [18F]FDB-PET than [18F]FDG with regard to tumor selectivity. Conclusions: [18F]FDB-PET demonstrated considerably greater specificity for CNSL when compared to [18F]FDG. It also permitted a more precise definition of target volume compared to contrast-enhanced MRI. Therefore, the potential of [18F]FDB-PET to distinguish CNSL from GBM is quite evident and will be further investigated in humans.

Bone marrow biopsy superiority over PET/CT in predicting progression-free survival in a homogeneously-treated cohort of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Cancer Med 2017; 6:2507-2514.

Abstract
Several studies have reported uneven results when evaluating the prognostic value of bone marrow biopsy (BMB) and PET/CT as part of the staging of diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The heterogeneity of the inclusion criteria and not taking into account selection and collinearity biases in the analysis models might explain part of these discrepancies. To address this issue we have carried a retrospective multicenter study including 268 DLBCL patients with a BMB and a PET/CT available at diagnosis where we estimated both the prognosis impact and the diagnostic accuracy of each technique. Only patients treated with R‐CHOP/21 as first line (n = 203) were included in the survival analysis. With a median follow‐up of 25 months the estimated 3‐year progression‐free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 76.3% and 82.7% respectively. In a multivariate analysis designed to avoid a collinearity bias with IPI categories, BMB‐BMI [bone marrow involvement](+) (HR: 3.6) and ECOG PS > 1 (HR: 2.9) were independently associated with a shorter PFS and three factors, age >60 years old (HR: 2.4), ECOG PS >1 (HR: 2.4), and abnormally elevated B2‐microglobulin levels (HR: 2.2) were independently associated with a shorter OS. In our DLBCL cohort, treated with a uniform first‐line chemotherapy regimen, BMI by BMB complemented performance status in predicting those patients with a higher risk for relapse or progression. In this cohort BMI by PET/CT could not independently predict a shorter PFS and/or OS.
