Exam 2: Hematologic Malignancies Flashcards
What cells are affected in lymphoma?
- B and T lymphocytes
What are the two types of lymphomas?
- Hodgkin Lymphona
- Non-hodgkin lymphoma
What are the two subtypes of lymphomas?
- Hodgkin lymphoma
- Non-Hodgkin (NHL)
Hodgkin Pathology
- Reed-Sternberg Cells
Where does Hodgkin originate?
B-lymphocytes
HL Risk Factors
- impaired immune function
- EBV
HL Presentation
- painless, rubbery, enlarged lymph node
- B symptoms
- pruritius
B Symptoms
- fever greater 38º
- drenching sweats
- unintentional weight loss greater than 10% in ≤ 6 months
HL Diagnosis
Excisional biopsy
bone marrow biopsy in advanced stage
Early-stage favorable HL
stage I-II without unfavorable factors
Early-stage unfavorable HL
stage I-II with unfavorable factors
Advanced stage HL
stage III-IV
Unfavorable factors
- large mediastinal adenopathy
- multiple involve nodal regions
- B symptoms
- extranodal involvement
- ESR
International Prognostic Score (IPS) for HL
- higher the number of factors, the worse progression free survival
HL Treatment Treatment options
- Radiation
- Autologous stem cell transplant
Combo Chemo
- ABVD
- Stanford V
- BEACOPP
- AAVD
Stage IA, IIA Favorable Treatment
- ABVD + RT
Stage I-II Unfavorable
- ABVD + RT
Stage III/IV
- ABVD + RT
- AAVD
ABVD
- Doxorubicin (Adriamycin)
- Bleomycin
- Vinblastine
- Dacarbazine
Toxicities of ABVD
- cardio (doxorubicin)
- Pulmonary (bleomycin)
- Peripheral neuropathy (vinblastine)
- Dacarbazine (myelosupression)
- N/V
AAVD
- Doxorubicin
- Brentuximab vendotin
- vinblastine
- Dacarbazine
AAVD Toxicities
- Cardiotoxicity (doxirubicin)
- increased myelosuppression
- increased peripheral neuropathy
- N/V
ABVD Stage I or II HL
4 cycles
ABVD Stage III/IV HL
6 cycles
Relapsed HL Treatment
high dose chemo with autologous stem cell rescue ± maintenance brentuximab vendotin (if high risk disease post transplant)
NHL Patho
Malignant B or T lymphocytes and precursors (B cell more common)
NHL Risk Factors
- EBV (Burtkitt -> TLS, AIDS)
- Immunodeficiency
- environmental/physical agents
NHL Presentation
- B Cell: lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow
- T cell: extrandal sites (skin and lungs)
- b symptoms in some patients
- primary CNS lymphoma
- NO ITCH
NHL Diagnosis
excisional biopsy
lumbar puncture in patients at high risk or symptoms as NHL can metastasize in the brain
Indolent B Cell lymphomas NHL
usually incurable
Aggressive B Cell lymphoma NHL
- rapid growth
- short survival
- usually curable
Highly aggressive B cell NHL
- doubling tine = 18 hours
- usully curable
what type of cancer is DLBCL
NHL
NHL Treatment Approaches
- RT
- multi-agent chemo (backbone)
- immuno
- high dose chem with stem cell rescue
- CAR-T
- T-cell engagers
What type of cancer is Follicular Lymphoma
NHL (2nd most common type)
What can follicular lymphoma transform into
- Richter’s transformation (aggressive nHL)
- treat like DLBCL with rituzimab
DLBCL Genetic abnormalities
- Double/triple hit (MYC+ BCL2 or BCL6 transformation or all three)
DLBCL Treatment Regimens
- R-CHOP
- DA-EPOCH + Rituximab
- Pola + R + CHP
R-CHOP
- rituximab
- cyclophos
- doxorubicin
- vincristine
- prednisone
DA-EPOCH + RituximB
- Etop
- Prednisone
- Vincristine
- Doxorubicin
- cyclophose
Pola + R + CHP
- polatuzumab vedotin
- rituximab
- cyclophose
- doxorubicin
- prednison
VERY Expensive
Stage I-II DLBCL treatment
3 cycles R-CHOP + RT
OR
6 cycles R-CHOP
