Low-grade non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL) is an indolent form of the disease with a generally slow course of progression. Although still usually incurable, low-grade disease has shown responsiveness to some of the newer

The beta 2-adrenergic transmembrane signal transduction was investigated in malignant B-cells from 15 patients with low grade non-Hodgkins lymphoma as compared with normal lymphocytes of seven healthy adults. The number of beta 2-adrenoceptors and the response of adenylate cyclase (AC) to isoproterenol were slightly decreased in lymphoma cells. The responsiveness of AC to forskolin was 8-fold lower in lymphoma cells, whereas the response to cholera toxin showed no difference. These findings demonstrate an impairment of the beta 2-adrenergic signal transduction in low grade lymphoma cells that particularly affects the function of AC. The comparison with forskolin resistant mutants of an adrenocortical tumor cell line, Y1 (Schimmer et al., J Biol Chem 262: 15521-15526, 1987), suggests that the availability of functional active alpha subunits of stimulatory G proteins (Gs) might be reduced in human B-cell lymphoma, although other mechanisms known to inhibit the AC activity might be involved. ...

This information is about non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a cancer that starts in the immune system. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is also called NHL.. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma begins when a lymphocyte (usually a B cell) becomes abnormal. The abnormal cell divides to make copies of itself. The new cells divide again and again, making more and more abnormal cells. The abnormal cells dont die when they should. They dont protect the body from infections or other diseases. The buildup of extra cells often forms a mass of tissue called a growth or tumor.. Because lymphatic tissue is in many parts of the body, Hodgkin lymphoma can start almost anywhere. Usually, its first found in a lymph node.. When lymphoma is found, the pathologist reports the type. There are many types of lymphoma. The most common types are diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma.. Lymphomas may be grouped by how quickly they are likely to grow:. ...

Overview. Non-Hodgkins lymphoma is the seventh most common cancer in men and women in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, 74000 new cases of non-Hodgkins lymphoma are diagnosed each year in the US. Non-Hodgkins lymphoma originates in the lymphatic system of the body. The lymphatic system fights diseases throughout the body. In non-Hodgkins lymphoma, tumors develop from white blood cells called lymphocytes. Lymph tissue is found in many places throughout the body, so lymphomas can start almost anywhere. Non-Hodgkins lymphoma is more common than the other type of general lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma. The major sites of lymph tissue are:. ...

DEAR DR. ROACH: Have you heard that lymphoma patients are more likely than others to develop blood clots after surgery? I nearly died of a pulmonary embolus six days after hernia surgery. I have indolent non-Hodgkins lymphoma and never have had chemotherapy or radiation treatment. -- P.R.. ANSWER: People with many different types of cancers are at higher risk for blood clotting. Those with cancer of the pancreas, colon, stomach, lung, kidney or brain are among the highest risk. Blood cancers, like leukemia and lymphoma, also increase the risk of a blood clot. Surgery already increases blood clot risk, but cancer further increases the risk of blood clots. The combination of cancer, even an indolent lymphoma, and routine surgery imparts about a 6 percent risk of blood clots, which is high enough that routine anticoagulation certainly should be considered. People with cancer should have a discussion with their surgeon about anticoagulation around surgery.. DEAR DR. ROACH: Maybe you will be able to ...

Both Hodgkins lymphoma and non-Hodgkins lymphoma are lymphomas - a type of cancer that begins in a subset of white blood cells called lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are an integral part of your immune system, which protects you from germs.. The main difference between Hodgkins lymphoma and non-Hodgkins lymphoma is in the specific lymphocyte each involves.. A doctor can tell the difference between Hodgkins lymphoma and non-Hodgkins lymphoma by examining the cancer cells under a microscope. If in examining the cells, the doctor detects the presence of a specific type of abnormal cell called a Reed-Sternberg cell, the lymphoma is classified as Hodgkins. If the Reed-Sternberg cell is not present, the lymphoma is classified as non-Hodgkins.. Many subtypes of lymphoma exist, and your doctor will use laboratory tests to examine a sample of your lymphoma cells to determine your specific subtype. Expect to wait a few days to receive results from these specialized tests.. Your type of lymphoma helps ...

The use of high-dose chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic blood or marrow transplantation for high-risk aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma has been extensively evaluated over the past few decades. This treatment was originally used only for patients with relapsed aggressive lymphoma. However, as the patients who were at higher risk for relapse could more easily be identified by clinical features and the technique became safer, it was used in some trials earlier in the course of the disease for higher-risk patients according to the International Prognostic Index (IPI).1. Prior to the addition of rituximab (Rituxan) to standard CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone), several trials demonstrated an improvement when early transplantation was performed in first remission.2,3 However, there were also conflicting trials that did not demonstrate a benefit for early transplantation in this patient population.4,5 A meta-analysis of these earlier randomized trials demonstrated ...

The cytokine soluble CD23 (sCD23) has been shown to act as a B cell growth factor and to be elevated in serum prior to development of AIDS-related non-Hodgkins lymphoma (AIDS NHL). To further characterize the elevation of serum sCD23 in AIDS NHL patients and investigate its potential as a diagnostic test, a matched case-control study of AIDS NHL (n = 101) was nested within the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study. Serum sCD23 was measured in cases and controls serum specimens at three different time periods (0-6, 6-12, and 12-18 months) and CD4+ thresholds (0-99, 100-199, and 200-299 cells/microl) prior to the cases NHL diagnosis. Changes in serum sCD23 over time were examined in AIDS NHL cases relative to controls, and t tests were performed to determine whether cases serum sCD23 exceeded that of controls at each time period and CD4+ threshold. Overall, cases median serum sCD23 levels were approximately double those of controls. Serum sCD23 concentration was positively correlated with lymphocyte counts

Background: In 2008, non-Hodgkin lymphoma ranked tenth among other malignancies worldwide with an incidence of around 5 cases per 100,000 in both genders. The latest available rates in Tunisia are from 2006. Materials and Methods: This study aimed to provide an update about NHL incidence for 2009 and its trend between 1998 and 2009 as well as a projection until 2024, using data from the Salah Azaiz Institute hospital registry and the Noth Tunisia cancer registry. Results: In 2009, the NHL incidence in the north of Tunisia was 4.03 cases per 100,000, 4.97 for men and 3.10 for women. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) accounted for 63.2% of all NHL subtypes. Between 1998 and 2009, the overall trend showed no significant change. When we compared the trend between two periods (1998-2005 and 2005-2009), joinpoint regression showed a significant decrease of NHL incidence in the first period with an annual percentage change (APC) of -6.7% (95% CI:[-11.2%;-2%]), then the incidence significantly increased

In endometrioid cancer cases, the depth of myometrial invasion, the lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) and the microcystic, elongated, and fragmented (MELF) glands type of invasion are predictors for a metastasis. Although the intermediate grade papillary endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the endometrium is currently not included in the latest classification of the tumors in the female reproductive system, its existence provokes an interest due to the necessity to perform differential diagnosis against other endometrioid tumors. Hereby presented is a case of papillary endometrioid carcinoma of intermediate grade with invasion in leiomyoma, expressed via LVSI and MELF syndrome with intact myometrium. Morphological and immunohistochemical algorithms have been performed.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment depends on the type of cancer you have, its stage, your health and your age. If only one lymph node is affected by the tumor, you can definitely be cured by radiotherapy. In advanced non-Hodgkins lymphoma, survival chance decreased considerably. In general, non-Hodgkins lymphoma treatment includes radiotherapy, chemotherapy, biotherapy, and other therapeutic methods such as stem cell transplantation.. Radiotherapy (Radiation therapy) Radiotherapy consists of using high doses of X-rays to kill cancer cells in order to eliminate or shrink the tumor. If the cancer is too advanced to be completely destroyed, radiation therapy can reduce symptoms and prolong your life. In the case of a non aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma, radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy can lead to a complete cure in about 50% of cases.. Chemotherapy Chemotherapy is the use of anticancer drugs to kill cancer cells and prevent metastases. Chemotherapy is often used to treat advanced non-Hodgkin ...

Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody approved for treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphomas that targets CD20, an antigen expressed by mature B cells. Single-agent rituximab treatment elicits clinical responses in many patients with non-Hodgkin lymphomas such as follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), but few treatment options are available for patients who relapse or are refractory to rituximab. Another B-cell antigen, CD22, which is expressed by the vast majority of B-cell cancers but not by lymphocyte precursors or memory B cells, also represents an attractive target for non-Hodgkin lymphoma therapy. Inotuzumab ozogamicin (INO) is a CD22-targeted therapy in which a humanized CD22 antibody is conjugated to calicheamicin, a cytotoxic antibiotic. In a multicenter open-label phase I/II study, Fayad and colleagues evaluated the combination of rituximab and inotuzumab ozogamicin (R-INO) in patients with relapsed FL, relapsed DLBCL, or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphomas. A ...

Non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL) remains the second most common malignant complication in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. As we enter the third decade of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic, it is apparent that the evolution of antiretroviral therapy and the emergence of combination antiviral strategies have greatly affected the natural history of HIV infection and its neoplastic complications. For example, there may be a trend for declining incidence of AIDS-related lymphoma in the United States for the first time. However, in regions of the world where the burden of HIV infection is greatest, such as in East Africa, AIDS-related lymphoma is an increasing cause of morbidity and mortality. Treatment of lymphoma has evolved coincident with improvements in antiretroviral therapy. Infusional chemotherapy regimens may offer advantages over other regimens and schedules, but comparative trials have not been done. Clinical trial data are available on which to ...

The Agricultural Health Study investigated the relationship between specific fungicides and pesticides and the development of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) in pesticide applicators, primarily farmers, from North Carolina and Iowa. In a recent article published in PLOS One, health information was analyzed from 54,306 participants enrolled in the study, including 523 applicators who were diagnosed with NHL between 1993 and 2010. Twenty-six different pesticides including insecticides, fungicides and fumigants were investigated to determine if exposure was linked to NHL incidence. Results suggest that exposure to pesticides from many different classes of chemicals was linked to an increased risk of NHL. This study is the first to find a correlation between exposure to the pesticides DDT, lindane, permethrin, diazinon and terbufos with specific types of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.. ...

AU - Park, Joon Oh. PY - 2002/6/18. Y1 - 2002/6/18. N2 - To define the role of radiation therapy of primary orbital lymphoma, a retrospective analysis was undertaken for 18 patients with primary orbital lymphoma who were treated with curative radiotherapy between 1984 and 1995. The histology was found to be low grade lymphoma in 11 patients, intermediate grade in 7. All patients were of Ann Arbor stage IE, but bilateral involvement of the orbit was observed in 3 patients (16.6%). Anatomical subsites involved were the retrobulbar, eyelid, and conjunctiva in eight, five, and four patients, respectively. The median radiation dose was 30 Gy ranging from 20 Gy to 50 Gy. Twelve of 18 patients received a radiation dose of 30 Gy or less. To properly protect the lens during irradiation, the contact lens blocks were ...

Treatment varies depending on the exact type of B or T-cell lymphoma you have, where it has spread in your body and how fast it is likely to grow. Your age and your general health are also taken into account. When deciding how to treat your lymphoma it is important to know how fast it is likely to grow and cause problems in your body. This is called the grade of your lymphoma.. Some types of lymphoma grow slowly, cause few symptoms and may not need to be treated urgently. These are known as indolent lymphomas (also called low-grade lymphomas). Others grow more quickly, cause more severe symptoms and generally need to be treated soon after they are diagnosed. These are known as aggressive lymphomas (also called intermediate-grade and high-grade lymphomas).. Low-grade lymphomas (indolent). Many low-grade lymphomas take years to grow, cause few if any symptoms and do not necessarily need to be treated initially. In these cases the doctor may recommend regular checkups to carefully monitor your ...

Researchers affiliated with the German High-Grade Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Study Group (DSHNHL) have reported that conventional chemoimmunotherapy was superior to sequential high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell support for the treatment of high-risk patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma. The details of this randomized study were presented at the 2011 meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.. Non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL) is a form of cancer that begins in the cells of the lymph system. The lymph system includes the spleen, thymus, tonsils, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and circulating immune cells. The main cells in the lymph system are lymphocytes, of which there are two types: B- and T-cells. Each cell type has a specific function in helping the body fight infection.. Non-Hodgkins lymphoma is characterized by the excessive accumulation of atypical (cancerous) lymphocytes. These lymphocytes can crowd the lymph system and suppress the formation and function of other immune ...

Fourteen-day CHOP supported with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in patients with aggressive non-Hodgkins lymphoma: results of a phase II study.

Transformation is the evolution of an indolent lymphoma/leukemia to an aggressive lymphoma, typically harboring a very poor prognosis. This phenomenon is well described in humans , but under-estimated in dogs although recognized as a possible evolution of indolent lymphomas/leukemias. In canine chronic leukemias blast crisis (mainly in myeloid ) and Richter syndrome (transformation into a high grade lymphoma) (mainly in B-cell lymphocytic leukemia) has been reported. Transformation is a possible event also in canine low grade lymphomas, although rare. The increased knowledge has also generated new questions and posed challenges that need to be addressed to improve outcome, including the recognition of the clinical characteristics at diagnosis associated with a higher risk of transformation in an attempt of anticipating the typical evolution.

Lymphomas. Lymphoma is a type of cancer that originates in cells of the lymphatic system. There are many types of lymphomas; however, these tumors are commonly divided into two main categories: Hodgkins and Non-Hodgkins Lymphomas.. Lymphomas are curable if detected early and treatments are well tolerated. Historically, Non-Hodgkins Lymphomas were one of the first cancers cured with Radiation Therapy alone due to its radiation sensitivity.. Non-Hodgkin lymphomas can be further divided into cancers that have an indolent (slow-growing) course and those that have an aggressive (fast-growing) course. These sub-types behave and respond to treatment differently. Both Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas can occur in children and adults, and prognosis and treatment depend on the stage and the type of cancer.. Lymphomas Treatment. The management of lymphoma requires a multidisciplinary team as the efforts of the surgeon, the hematologist, and the radiation oncologist must interact in the management of ...

Lymphomas are any cancers of the lymphatic tissues. They are distinguished/classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) system, using the latest information on the appearance and growth pattern of the lymphoma cells and genetic features, including whether or not it is a Hodgkin lymphoma, a T-cell or B-cell lymphoma, and the site from which the lymphoma arises.. Hodgkin lymphoma is marked by the presence of a type of cell called the Reed-Sternberg cell.. Non-Hodgkin lymphomas, which are defined as being all lymphomas except Hodgkin lymphoma, are more common than Hodgkin lymphoma. A wide variety of lymphomas are in this class, and the causes, the types of cells involved, and the prognosis vary by type. The incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma increases with age. It is further divided into several subtypes ...

CD19-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified T cells have antitumor activity in B cell malignancies, but factors that affect toxicity and efficacy have been difficult to define because of differences in lymphodepletion and heterogeneity of CAR-T cells administered to individual patients. We conducted a clinical trial in which CD19 CAR-T cells were manufactured from defined T cell subsets and administered in a 1:1 CD4+/CD8+ ratio of CAR-T cells to 32 adults with relapsed and/or refractory B cell non-Hodgkins lymphoma after cyclophosphamide (Cy)-based lymphodepletion chemotherapy with or without fludarabine (Flu). Patients who received Cy/Flu lymphodepletion had increased CAR-T cell expansion and persistence, and higher response rates [50% complete remission (CR), 72% overall response rate (ORR)] than patients who received Cy-based lymphodepletion without Flu (8% CR, 50% ORR). The CR rate in patients treated with Cy/Flu at the maximally tolerated dose was 64% (82% ORR; n = 11). Cy/Flu ...

INTRODUCTION Lymphomas are malignant neoplasms arisen from lymphocytes (B or T) that affect mainly lymph nodes, spleen, and other non-hematopoietic tissues. They are classified as Hodgkin´s lymphoma or non-Hodgkin´s lymphoma.1 Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBL) is the most common variant of non-Hodgkin´s intermediate-grade lymphomas, and frequently involves extranodal sites. Even though DLBL is characterized by an aggressive behavior, it responds favorably to chemotherapy.2 Non-Hodgkin´s lymphomas are usually manifested as localized or generalized lymphadenopathy. However, the primary lesion can occur in other sites, principally where lymphoid tissue is present such as oropharynx, intestine, bone marrow and skin.3 DLBL is often associated with systemic symptoms such as night sweats, weight loss and fever. In the oral soft tissues, lesions can occur as hard and diffuse tumors involving oral vestibule, gums and the posterior region of the hard palate. In bone tissue, they may cause mild ...

The flvi-2 locus is a target of insertional mutagenesis in thymic lymphosarcomas induced by feline leukemia virus (FeLV). flvi-2 encodes the gene bmi-1, whose product is implicated as a myc-collaborator in the induction of B- and T-cell lymphoma. We have examined the involvement of flvi -2 and myc in natural and experimentally induced FeLV-positive feline lymphosarcomas which are heterogeneous in anatomical origin, geographic origin, and strain of FeLV involved. We further compared these findings with previous reports of novel FeLV env genes in the same tumors. The results show that proviral insertion at flvi-2 occurs commonly in natural and experimental feline thymic lymphosarcomas of diverse origins [52% overall], and that alterations in c-myc commonly accompany insertional mutagenesis of flvi-2 [54% overall]. However, 46% of tumors with flvi-2 insertions apparently lack involvement of c-myc. These observations support the hypothesis that interruption of flvi-2 may be an early event in a ...

The treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients has been recently informed by several important studies, which were discussed at the Best of ASCO Boston meeting by Michael E. Williams, MD, of the University of Virginia Cancer Center in Charlottesville.. Bendamustine Outperforms R-CHOP in NHL In a presentation at this years ASCO Annual Meeting Plenary Session, German investigators reported that in the phase III Study Group Indolent Lymphomas (StiL) NHL1 trial, the combination of bendamustine (Treanda) plus rituximab (Rituxan), or BR, more than doubled the median progression-free survival vs standard treatment with R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) and proved more tolerable as well in patients with NHL.1 While B-R has been a recommended treatment option by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network since the initial study data were announced in 2009, many U.S. oncologists have not yet utilized the regimen.. The updated StiL NHL1 results will likely ...

Hodgkins disease was the primary lymphoma to be defined as early as 1832 by Prof. Hodgkins. Over the years, non-Hodgkins lymphoma has become quite common. In the United States, it is estimated that 69,000 new cases and 19,000 deaths from non-Hodgkins lymphoma will occur yearly. It has not been pursued in detail as of now, and there are many points still in the dark.. Many doctors adopt a waiting policy where they inspect the patient patiently before coming to a practical conclusion. It is diagnosed (Understanding a Lymphoma Diagnosis) by biopsy through needle insertion. In severe manifestations, the whole part containing affected lymph nodes needs to be taken out. A combination treats it of radiation and chemotherapy. The logic is to retain the white blood cells to grow and multiply. Since it is an immune system-specific disease, immunotherapy or boosting the immune system is deemed the best antidote.. Stem cell transplant that has its precepts on DNA strands is also quite active but highly ...

Between January 2001 and December 2013, all patients (n= 19) that underwent surgical management for primary DLBL were identified from a retrospective database. All data of the clinical and pathological features were reviewed retrospectively. Gastrointestinal intestinal DLBL satisfied the lymphoma definition of Lewin et al. [7]. A total of 19 patients were included in this study, of which 69 were extranodal type of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients, 25 were gastrointestinal lymphoma and 21 were primary gastrointestinal DLBCL patients. Of these patients, a total of 19 patients were included in the study, excluding 2 patients who underwent palliative surgery during chemotherapy (Fig. 1). All patients underwent surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy using cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin, oncovin, and prednisolone (CHOP) or rituximab CHOP (R-CHOP) regimens except postoperative mortality. All patients underwent gastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy, and a biopsy, staging scans (computed tomography scan of the ...

Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) in the head and neck region are malignant lymphoid neoplasms that usually originate from B-lymphocytic cell lines. Primary extranodal manifestations of this hematolymphoid tumor in the oral cavity are rare and involve the maxillary jaw including the palatal soft tissues, the mandible, and gingival tissues in patients between 60 and 70 years of age without sex predilection. This case report of an extra nodal NHL in the palate of a 75-year-old patient emphasizes the importance of accurate clinical, radiographic, and histologic diagnostic procedures to avoid delayed diagnosis or inappropriate treatment strategies. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or a combination of the two with a regular clinical and hemic follow-up is recommended. (Quintessence Int 2010;41:93 97 ...

Mantle-Cell Lymphoma: A form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma having a usually diffuse pattern with both small and medium lymphocytes and small cleaved cells. It accounts for about 5% of adult non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the United States and Europe. The majority of mantle-cell lymphomas are associated with a t(11;14) translocation resulting in overexpression of the CYCLIN D1 gene (GENES, BCL-1).
