Liquid Cancers:
seen in what 3 places..?
blood
bone marrow

MDS - myelodysplastic syndrome
CML - chronic myeloid leukemia
AML - acute myeloid leukemia
What cancers are apart of the lymhoid cell lines
HD - hodkin lymphoma NHL - non-hodgkin lymphoma CLL - chronic lymphocytic leukemia ALL - acute lymphocytic leukemia MM - multiple myeloma
which cancer has reed sternberg cells?
hodgkin lymphoma
what is a reed sternberg cell
binucleated cell
what is lymphoma?
clonal disorder of HEMATOPOESIS involving malignant transformation of lymphocytes that predominate in the lymphatic system
Hodgkin Lymphoma- Etiology:
_______ giant cells that originate from _______
multinucleated giant cells
from B- lymphocytes
(aka Reed Sternberg cells)
Hodgkin Lymphoma:
Reed Sternberg cells overexpress _________
which leads to increased _______
and decreased _______
overexpress NFkB (nuclear factor Kappa B)
increased cell proliferation
decreased apoptosis
Hodgkin Lymphoma:
______ will upregulate NFkB
(up to 50% of hodking lymphoma cells are infected with ________)
infections will upregulate
EBV - epstein bar virus
Hodgkin Lymphoma - Clinical Presentation
Painless/rubbery - enlarged lymph node in _______ area
Mediastinal (around chest and sternum) involvement is common
______ manifestations are not common
_____ symptoms are 25 - 50 % common
in supradiaphragmatic area
Extranodal manifestations - not common
B symptoms
what are B symptoms?
fever greater than 38 degrees Drenching sweats (esp at night) Unintentional weight loss (> 10% over a period of 6 mos or less)
B symptoms - leads to better or worse overall prognosis?
worse
Hodgkin Lymphoma:
______ Staging - talks about how many lymph nodes are involved
Ann Arbor
Hodgkin Lymphoma: Ann Arbor Staging - Stage 1? 2? 3? 4?
1: involvement of one lymph node area
2: 2+ lymph node ares on SAME side of diaphragm
3: lymph node involvement on both sides
4: extranodal involvement (like bone marrow)
Hodgkin Lymphoma:
What does IPS stand for?
international prognostic score
score to see who is at poorer prognosis
Hodgkin Lymphoma:
what factors are seen to put someone at a poorer prognosis? (IPS factors!)
Albumin < 4 HgB < 10.5 Male stage IV 45 + y.o WBC > 15 Lymphocytopenia < 0.6
Hodgkin Lymphoma:
if they have ____ factors it is seen more as an unfavorable disease
2 + factors
Hodgkin Lymphoma:
What are some treatment modalities for this cancer?
RT (radiation therapy) Combo Chemo (ABVD!!!!, Standford V, BEACOPP)
or HD chemo with stem cell rescue
what does ABVD stand for?
doxorubicin (adriamycin!)
bleomycin
vinblastine
dacarbazine
Hodgkin Lymphoma:
for ABVD - how many cycles of it?
if stage I or II it is 4 cycles
if stage III or IV - then 6 cycles
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma:
Symptoms are dependent on site of involvement:
if B cell lymphomas: _____, _____, _____ affected
it T cell lymphomas: ________ (_____ and _____)
Peripheral lymphadenopathy
40% of pts will have B symptoms
B cells: lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow
T cells: extranodal sites (skin and lungs!)
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma vs Hodgkin Lymphoma:
which one is more often localized to a single group of nodes?
Hodgkin
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma vs Hodgkin Lymphoma:
has a noncontagious spread (aka a variety of lymph nodes are affected)
non-hodgkin lymphoma
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma vs Hodgkin Lymphoma:
which one has more frequent involvement of multiple peripheral nodes?
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
