Q

Key pathway in Hodgkin

A

NFkappaB activation leading to increased BCL-2 (anti-apoptotic) - EBV activation of LMP1 - mutations in IkB (negative regulator of NFkB) - increased CD30 signalling

Q

Classic presentation of HL

A
  • painless cervical, supraclav LN - Mediastinal mass (2/3) - Constitutional symptoms (10% wt loss in 6m, night sweats, fever x 3d) - evidence of inflammation (ESR, CRP, anemia,ferritin) - Immune dysreg (AIHA, ITP, AIN, nephrotic syndrome)

Q

Role of PET in HL

A
  • staging - response assessment
  • NOT for surveillance post therapy.

Most relapse detected clinically < 12 m off therapy

Q

Most common secondary malignancy in HL

A

Breast cancer in women

  • highest for girls <10

Greatest relative risk is for leukemia

17
Q

Which tumors are CD 30 positive

A
  • cHodgkin
  • ALCL
  • PMBCL
  • embryonal carcinoma
18
Q

Late effects of HL therapy

A
19
Q

Which HL patients can avoid radiation?

A
  • Low risk (1A, 2A) with CR post 2 cycles OEPA
  • Intermediate risk getting ABVE-PC and rapid early responder on PET after 2 cycles, and CR after 4 cycles (AHOD0031)
20
Q

What are the prognostic factors for relapsed HL?

A
  • B symptoms
  • Early relapse (3-12 months from end of therapy)
  • Failure to respond to second-line therapy
21
Q

What are the treatment options for relapsed HL?

A
  1. Chemo + auto HSCT *current SOC
    1. Myeloablative (BEAM or CBV most common), wide range of EFS/OS reported
  2. Chemo + allo HSCT
    1. Historically only used if failed auto or primary refractory
  3. Targeted therapy
    1. Brentuximab (against CD30)
    2. Ritux (if CD20 positive)
    3. PD-1 inhibitors - pembrolizumab, nivolumab - high response rate in multiply relapse/heavily treated adult patients
22
Q

What is the Deaville 5-point scale for PET response?

A

1) No uptake.
2) Uptake ≤ mediastinal blood pool.
3) Uptake > mediastinal blood pool and ≤ normal liver.
4) Moderately increased uptake > normal liver.
5) Markedly increased uptake > normal liver.

PET positive if 3/4/5

23
Q

Treatment for low risk HL

A

2 cycels of OEPA

rads can be omitted unless poor response

24
Q

Treatment of intermediate risk HL

A

Based on AHOD0031

  • 2 cycles ABVE-PC then PET
  • If RER - 2 more cycles of ABVE-PC. Can avoid rads if PET negative and no bulk
  • If SER and PET negative - 2 cycles ABVE-PC and IFRT
  • If SER and PET positive - 2 cycles DECA then ABVE-PC
25
Q

Treatment for HR HL

A
  • 2 cycels OEPA then PET
  • 4 cycles COPDAC
  • Rads
26
Q

Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma

  • immunophenotype
  • cytogenetics
  • subtypes
A
  • CD19, 20, 22, 79a, Pax-5, CD40
  • 2/3 BCL-6, 1/3 have cMYC
  • 90% germinal center B-cell like, 10% activated b-cell like t(14;18)
27
Q

ALCL

  • immunophenotype
  • translocations
A
  • immuno: CD15-CD30+ CD45+, Tcell marker: CD3, 43, TCR rearrangement
  • 75% have t(2;5) translocation with NPM-ALK
