Diffuse large B cell lymphoma

• Highly heterogeneous (clinically, immuno- phenotypically, morphologically, biologically) group of diseases

• Most common lymphoma in North America (30-40%)

• 24,000 new cases every year• Affects all ages and genders• ~40% of patients with DLBCL suffer relapses and

die of disease

Prognostic Markers in DLBCL

• Clinical - International Prognostic Index (IPI)- Age >60- Stage III or IV- Elevated LDH- Performance status 2 or higher- Two or more extranodal sitesDepending on IPI score the 5-year overall

survival ranges from 26% to 73%.IPI is also age-adjusted (<60 and >70)

OS of DLBCL patients

Gilles Salles et al. Blood 2011;117:7070-7078

Data are from patients with TMA availableaccording to the IPI for the 3 patient cohorts: r-CHOP 347 patients (panel 1a), c-CHOP 289 patients (panel 1b) and e-CHOP 878 patients (panel 1c).The log-rank P valuewas < .0001 for each cohort.

• One of the most clinical predictor of survival in DLBCL and can identify patients as Low (0,1), Low-Intermediate (2), High-Intermediate (3) and High Risk (4,5)

• Since Rituximab was introduce a revised IPI (R-IPI) was proposed, which stratifies patients into 3 groups – Very Good (0), Good (1,2) and Poor (3,4,5)

• The IPI does not capturer the biological spectrum of DLBCL!

Paul N. Meyer et al. JCO 2011;29:200-207

Conclusion• The Hans and Choi algorithms are useful to determine the cell of

origin of DLBCL and can separate patients into prognostic groups, with or without the use of BCL6.

• A new Tally algorithm showed the greatest concordance with microarray results .

• Although the Tally and Choi algorithms may be preferred, the pathologists should be allowed to choose the most appropriate algorithm for their practice.

• The immunohistochemical algorithms are sufficiently robust to allow cell of origin determination for future therapies based on cell of origin.

Like the IPI, COO subtyping doesn’t identify patients with highly aggressive DLBCL since these patients will be in both

subgroups!

R-CHOP is inadequate in many DLBCL subsets and high-risk groups

Double hit lymphoma (DHL) and atypical DHL

• DHL - defined as an aggressive high-grade B-cell lymphoma with translocations involving both MYC and BCL2 or BCL6, BCL3, or CCND1 (MYC/BCL2 most common)

• Atypical DHL - abnormalities of MYC and BCL2 other than coexistent translocations:

1. MYC translocation + extra BCL2 copies2. t(14;18) + extra copies of MYC3. Extra copies of MYC and BCL2

• Represents 6–14% of patients

Double hit lymphoma (DHL) and atypical DHL (aDHL)

• CNS and bone marrow involvement are common • Most cases of DHL and aDHL have morphologic features of

DLBCL or B-cell lymphoma, unclassifiable, with features intermediate between DLBCL and Burkitt lymphoma

• The majority are of GCB-cell immunophenotype with a high proliferation rate

• There is no established standard therapy for DHL patients - median OS of <2 years

• Characterized by advanced stage disease, extranodal involvement, and high serum LDH levels.

Summary

• In DHL/aDHL only the PS≥2 and bone marrow involvement were independently associated with shorter EFS and OS

• Age, stage and # of extranodal sites have minimal impact on the outcome in DHL/aDHL

• Specific version of IPI – DHIPI, which includes only PS≥2 and bone marrow involvement (grading from 0-2)

• The outcome of DHL patients with current chemotherapeutic approaches is poor, and dismal for refractory or relapsed disease

Summary

• R-EPOCH, and frontline SCT should be further evaluated in larger studies with longer follow-up

• Therapy recommendations - R-EPOCH, with strong consideration for CNS targeting therapy especially when DHIPI ≥1, and strong consideration for frontline SCT in responding patients

• Further prospective research is needed to identify additional biological markers and to develop novel therapies

• The FISH for MYC, BCL-2 and BCL6 (?) probably should be performed on all CD10+ (GCB) DLBCL lymphomas, in particular with high MYC, BCL2 and Ki67

Lymphomas: A SWOG S9704 Correlative Study

• This study has confirmed the prognostic significance of MYC positivity by IHC in DLBCL and, for the first time, extends this observation to cases of BCLU

• BCLU was associated with increased incidence of MYC expression but no distinct clinicopathological features compare to DLBCL

• MYC+ cases were morphologically and phenotypically heterogeneous and had poor prognosis (PFS and OS)

• MYC IHC is suggested for use in routine clinical practice to assess prognosis in DLBCL

• Additional studies utilizing MYC IHC to risk-stratify therapies should also be considered.

CD5+ DLBCL - Summary

• De novo CD5+ DLBCL is clinico-pathologically and genetically distinct from CD5-negative DLBCL and MCL lymphoma.

• Accounts for 5-10% of all DLBCL• Has an aggressive course and high IPI score at

presentation• GEP is similar to ABC type of DLBCL (83% are of ABC type)• Rituximab-based therapy improves PFS but does not

decrease CNS relapse rate or OS• CD5 stain should be performed on all cases of DLBCL

Absolut Monocyte Count (AMC) and Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC) Prognostic Index

• By univariate analysis, the AMC/ALC score was a predictor for OS and PFS.

• On multivariate analysis performed including the cell of origin (COO) and the International Prognostic Index, AMC/ALC score remained an independent predictor for OS and PFS.

• The AMC/ALC score was able to further stratify DLBCL clinical outcomes by COO

• The AMC/ALC score was independent of COO and added to its ability to identify patients with high-risk disease

• This prognostic score was independent of the IPI and added to its ability to identify high-risk patients

Kaplan–Meier estimates of progression-free (a, b) and overall (c, d) survival for the entire cohort of patients stratified by the AMC/ALC prognostic score (a, c) and the International Prognostic Index (b, d) are shown.

Prognostic implication of types of tumor-associated macrophages in Hodgkin lymphoma

Virchows Archiv 2011; 459:361-366

Tumour associated macrophages in ‐lymphomas

• Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play an important role in the tumor microenvironment.

• An increase in CD68 (+) cells was related to improved overall survival (OS). By contrast, an increased number of CD163 (+) cells and a higher ratio of CD163+/CD68+ cells were significantly associated with shorter OS and progression-free survival (PFS).

• In multivariate analysis, an increased ratio of CD163+/CD68+ cells was an independent predictor of shorter OS and PFS.

• These results suggest that M2 macrophages might have a lymphoma-promoting function in DLBCL and predict poor clinical outcome.

• Therapeutic approaches targeting M2 macrophages would be valuable for the management of DLBCL in the R era.

Follicular Lymphoma and FLIPI scoring system• FLIPI - Age >60 years, Stage III or IV disease, >4 lymph node groups involved, Serum

FLIPI score between 0 to 1, and 36% for those with a FLIPI score of >3. • Median survival of all newly diagnosed patients is approximately 9 years. Although

the OS appears to have improved with advances in chemoimmunotherapy, the median event free survival (EFS) remains around 2 years for patients with advanced disease.

• FLIPI has several limitations. It focuses on clinical factors and does not take into account biological factors such as the tumor microenvironment and the host response

• When some patients with FL surviving <1 year and others >20 years, additional prognostic indicators are clearly needed to refine risk adapted therapy.

Elevated serum levels of IL-2R, IL-1RA, and CXCL9 are associated with a poor prognosis in

follicular lymphoma

• Serum cytokines and chemokines may reflect tumor biology and host response in follicular lymphoma (FL).

• 30 cytokines and chemokines were measured in pretreatment serum specimens from newly diagnosed FL patients (n = 209) and from 400 matched controls.

• Cytokine levels were correlated with clinical outcome in patients who were observed or received single agent rituximab, or those who received chemotherapy.

Elevated serum levels of IL-2R, IL-1RA, and CXCL9 are associated with a poor prognosis in

follicular lymphoma• Six cytokines were associated with outcome in the Molecular

Epidemiology Resource (MER) after adjusting for the FL international prognostic index.

• In patients who were observed or treated with rituximab alone, increased serum IL-12 and interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) (P = .005 and .02) were associated with a shorter event-free survival.

• In patients receiving chemotherapy, hepatocyte growth factor, IL-8, IL-1RA, and CXCL9 (P = .015, .048, .004, and .0005) predicted a shorter EFS.

• When the MER chemotherapy treated patients and SWOG (n=183) patients were combined in a meta-analysis, IL-2R, IL-1RA, and CXCL9 (P = .013, .042, and .0012) were associated with a poor EFS.

Conclusions• The IPI does not capturer the biologic spectrum of DLBCL• COO (by molecular or IHC) subtyping doesn’t identify

patients with highly aggressive DLBCL since these patients will be in both subgroups

• For COO by IHC choose most convenient algorithm • The FISH for MYC, BCL-2 and BCL6 should be performed

on all CD10+ (GCB) DLBCL lymphomas• BCLU (features of DLBCL and BL) with high MYC (>40%)

and Ki67 (>75%) should lead to FISH to exclude a DHL or aDHL.
