[PMID: 33718146 PMCID: PMC7953141 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.598226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2020] [Accepted: 01/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose This retrospective study aimed to investigate the relationships between the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T/A1298C and high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX)-related toxicities in pediatric non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients. Patients and Methods We reviewed the medical records of 93 NHL patients aged under 18 years who received HD-MTX therapy at the dose of 5 g/m2 with 24-h infusion at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between 2014 and 2019. Results There were 61 males and 32 females, with a median age of 8.8 years (0.9–15.8 years). The tumor types included lymphoblastic lymphoma (n = 38), Burkitt’s lymphoma (n = 31), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (n = 18), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (n = 6). Overall, 355 courses of HD-MTX therapy were prescribed. All patients were rescued with calcium folinate 12 h after the end of MTX infusion. We found that plasma MTX levels > 0.2 μmol/L at 48 h post-infusion increased the risk of developing oral mucositis (2.4% VS. 9.5%, P = 0.018). Also, patients carrying the C677T and T677T genotypes had tendencies to be more susceptible to oral mucositis (P = 0.034). Patients harboring mutant 677T allele were more likely to develop leucopenia (38.5 vs. 50.3%, P = 0.025) and thrombocytopenia (22.0 vs. 32.4%, P = 0.028). For polymorphism A1298C, the mutant genotype played a protective role in vomiting (11.1 vs. 4.3%, P = 0.018) but increased the risk of anemia (23.8 vs. 41.7%, P < 0.001) and leucopenia (38.1 vs. 50.3%, P = 0.021). Conclusion Childhood NHL patients harboring C677T genotype were more vulnerable to oral mucositis, leucopenia, and thrombocytopenia, while those with A1298C genotype were at a decreased risk of vomiting and more likely to develop anemia and leucopenia.

[PMID: 25548758 PMCID: PMC4278006 DOI: 10.5045/br.2014.49.4.246] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2014] [Revised: 09/22/2014] [Accepted: 11/11/2014] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is uncommon in children, accounting for approximately 15% of all cases of childhood non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Despite many studies attempting new treatment strategies, treatment outcomes have not significantly improved, and the optimal treatment for pediatric ALCL has not been established. METHODS The records of newly diagnosed ALCL patients at our institute between July 1998 and April 2013 were reviewed. We evaluated the general characteristics of the patients, chemotherapy regimens, overall survival (OS) rates, and event-free survival (EFS) rates. RESULTS Twenty-eight ALCL patients were eligible. The median age at diagnosis was 10.8 years. Lymph node involvement was the most common presentation (79%). CCG-5941, a multi-agent T-cell lineage chemotherapy, was the predominant treatment regimen (57%). The five-year OS and EFS rates were 88% and 69%, respectively. Stage, the presence of B symptoms, lung involvement, and bone marrow involvement were significant prognostic factors for EFS (P=0.02, 0.01, 0.01, and 0.02, respectively). Eight patients relapsed, and three died during the study period. Four of the eight patients who relapsed were treated with high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDCT-ASCT). Two of the four who had undergone HDCT-ASCT developed secondary relapses and were subsequently treated with allogeneic SCT or brentuximab. CONCLUSION We found that treatment outcomes with multi-agent chemotherapy in children with ALCL were similar to those of previous reports, and that relapsed patients could be salvaged with HDCT-ASCT or allogeneic SCT. A prospective, larger cohort study is warranted to define the optimal treatment for pediatric ALCL.

Abstract
Mature B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) comprises more than 50% of all non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in children and adolescents. Many B-NHL subtypes frequently observed in adults are rarely diagnosed in children and adolescents. In this age group, Burkitt lymphoma (BL), Burkitt leukemia or FAB L3 leukemia (B-AL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMLBL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and aggressive mature B-NHL not further classifiable (B-NHL nfc) are the most common subtypes. Diverse clinical trials demonstrated similar results of current combination chemotherapy regimens succeeding in overall survival rates of more than 80%. However, treatment-related toxicity and the poor prognosis of relapse are serious concerns. Furthermore, specific histological B-NHL subtypes are rare in children and optimal treatment is not established. New treatment modalities are urgently needed for these patient groups. Rituximab, a monoclonal antibody that is already established in the treatment of adults with mature B-NHL, demonstrated promising results in pediatric patients. The definitive role of rituximab in the treatment of children and adolescents with B-NHL needs to be evaluated in prospective controlled clinical trials. This review provides a comprehensive overview of chemotherapy regimens and the perspectives for children and adolescents with mature B-cell lymphoma and leukemia.

Abstract
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) are among the most common malignancies of childhood. (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) can be employed for accurate staging, treatment planning, and response assessment in pediatric patients with lymphomas, taking advantage of the increased FDG uptake of the malignant cells, secondary to their increased metabolic needs. FDG PET has higher sensitivity than other imaging modalities to detect nodular or diffuse lesions and higher sensitivity than bone marrow biopsy to detect bone marrow infiltration. FDG PET consists of an invaluable imaging modality during evaluation and treatment of pediatric lymphomas.
