Q

what is the immunohistochemsitry of non hodgkin lymphoma ?

what is the etiology of diffuse large b cell lymphoma ?

etiology of burkitt lymphoma and its chareteristic according to epidemiology ?

etiology of matle cell lymphoma ?

etiology of follicular lymphoma ?

etiology of mariginal zone / maltoma

another name for lymphoplasmaocytic lymphoma ?

A

B cell = most common = CD20 nd CD19

T cell = CD3 AND CD4

=======

b cell aggressive =
diffuse large cell b cell lymphoma - affecting the BCL-2 GENE

burrkitt lymphoma 
strong association of EBV 
chromosomal translocation from 8:14 
over expression of the MYC gene 
= in africa burkitt lymphoma poduces extranodal involvemnt of the jaw 

OUTSIDE OF AFRIVCA =
EXTRANODAL INVOLVEMENT OF THE ABDOMEN ileojejunal junction = and less associated with EBV

mantle cell lymphoma
translocation of 11 14
over expression of BCL-1 causes over expression of
cyclin d1 gene over expression

and indolent = low grade

follicular lymphoma
chromosomal translocation between 14 and 18

marginal zonal lymphoma = associated with MALT
= which chronic inflammation of h pylori in th lining of the stomach

lymphoplasmocytic lymphoma
produce immunoglobulin which are high in the blood
blood thick and vicious
WALDENSTROM MACROGLOBULINEMA

h and e staining

immunohistochemistry to show to confirm the cells are lymphois 
LCA

cd19 and cd20 = b cell lymphoma 
CD3,4,CD8 - t cell lymphomas 

immunoglobulin measurements

uric acid - in high grade non hodgkin lymphoma

Q

what is the treatment for non Hodgkin lymphoma ?

A
for indolent lymphomas 
observation only 
radiotherapy at sight of problem 
systemic chemotherapy = CHOP , 
fludarabine 
rituximab = antibody against cd20 
stem cell bone marrow transplant 

=====
aggressive

stage 1 and 2 
potentially curable CHOP 6 CYCLES 
CHOP 3 CYCLES FOLLOWED BY RADIOTHERAPY if localised 
(cyclophosphamide , adriyamyicn 
 oncovicin , 
prednisone ) 

advanced
R-CHOP

we can have prophylaxis of CSF = intrathecal therapy of methotrextae

in young = autologous stem cells transplant
