(36 cards)
mature lymphoid malignancies
NHL
HL
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Multiple Myeloma
typically lymphomas don’t circulate in blood in significant numbers except
CLL
SLL
NHL
- cell of origin
- age
- lymphnodes
- BM
- tx (y/n)
- B cell (T/NK)
- 60-70 y/o
- any nodes
- often BM
- tx: yes
HL

- tx (y/n)
- B cell
- bimodal
- sequential
- often BM
- tx: yes
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
- cell of origin
- age
- lymphnodes
- BM
- tx (y/n)
- B cell

- any nodes
- BM
- tx: yes
Multiple Myeloma
- cell of origin
- age
- lymphnodes
- BM
- tx (y/n)
- B cell
- 60s-70s
- Rarely nodes
- BM
- tx: yes
NHL epidemiology
- 5th leading cancer dx
- most comm hematological cancer
- 85% cells=B cell origin
- incidence more than doubled since 70s
NHL
presentation
local -swollen nodes -pain (compression/infiltration) -organ failure/compromise systemic -fevers, night sweats, weight loss, fatigue
indolent NHL
- follicular*
- marginal zone
- SLL
- lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma
aggressive NHL
- diffuse large B-cell*
- mantle cell
- peripheral t-cell lymphoma
- primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma
- anaplastic large cell lymphoma
- lymphoblastic lymphoma
- Burkitt’s
T cell surface antigens
CD2
CD3
CD4
CD8
B cell surface antigens
CD19
CD20
CD22
CD79a
NHL staging
I-single lymph node
II-2+ nodes, same side of diaphragm
III- 2+ nodes, different sides of diaphragm
IV- extra nodal disease (BM)
international prognostic index (for Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma)
1 pt for each risk factor:
age performance status LDH extranodal sites Stage
NHL that initially responds to chemo, but ultimately recurs (not cured)
indolent
NHL with potentially profound response to chemo, ultimately curable
aggressive
NHL tx
- surgery has NO significant role
- radiation
- chemo
classes of chemo generally used in NHL
alkylators
anthracylines
steroids
indolent NHL tx
QOL tx
rituximab
rituximab
monoclonal CD20 Ab
antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC)
complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC)
apoptosis
NHL chemo combo
CHOP
cyclophosphamide
doxorubicin
vincristine
prednisone
HIV-associated lymphoma
vast majority=aggressive
- B cell origin
- CD4 <200
- high viral load/advanced disease
- tx w/ HAART –> dec risk
HL
unusual variant of B-cell lymphoma (~15%)
adenopathy (progressive)
- neck/mediatinum
- sx: night sweats/fevers/weight loss, “pel-ebstein” fevers, pruritus, EtOH
- typically slow, orderly growth
- tx outcomes for early stage disease = excellent
HL age distribution
bimodal, 20s or 60s
