Q

The lymphoid neoplasms can be sorted into these 5 broad categories based on cell of origin:

A

1) precursor B-cell neoplasms (neoplasms of immature B cells)
2) peripheral B-cell neoplasms (neoplasms of mature B cells)
3) precursor T-cell neoplasms (neoplasms of immature T-cells)
4) peripheral T-cell and NK-cell neoplasms (neoplasms of mature T cells and NK cells)
5) Hodgkin lymphoma (neoplasms of Reed-Sternberg cells and variants)

Q

Which is true if a pt has an indolent (does not bother pt) lymphoma?
More likely cured than aggressive lymphoma
Must approach with aggressive therapy
May be watched until it bothers the pt
Usually localized

A

May be watched until it bothers the pt.
Indolent lymphomas are more likely to be higher stage.
Treat them when they are symptomatic because they are incurable except @ stages I-II.
Survival is independent of early treatment.

Q

What is going on (chromosomally) in small lymohocytic/CLL?

A

17p deletion results in p53 loss and thus loss of control of cell cycle progression.

19
Q

Mycosis fungoides are associated with what tissues?

A

Gastic, mucosa around eye, mucosa of lung.

It is a T-cell cutaneous lymphoma

20
Q

In lymphomas, are aggressive (high grade) tumors more often found at lower or higher stages?

A

Low stages

21
Q

Are aggressive lymphomas very curable?

A

Yes. Compared to indolent that are not often curable. With appropriate treatment (complex treatment) they can be cured when attacked early on.

22
Q

Describe the lymphoma staging system.

A

Stage 1: single node or lymphoid structure
Stage 2: two or more lymph regions on ONE side of the diaphragm
Stage 3: Both sides of diaphragm involved
Stage IV: Extranodal (cancer has left lymph system)

23
Q

What is the most common lymphoma in the US?

A

Diffuse large B cell (37%) followed by follicular (29%)

24
Q

What are the treatments of indolent lymphomas?

A 
Local irradiation
Alkylators and prednisone
Anthracyclines
Fludarabine
Ab therapy
Radiation labeled Abs
Combination therapy: CHOP ( ); fludarabine + mitoxantrone
25
Q

What are the treatments of aggressive lymphomas?

A 
Combination chemos: rCHOP (cyclophosphamide, Hydroxydaunorubicin, vincristine, prednisone + rituximab); HyperCVAD
Ab therapy plus CHOP
Radio-immunotherapy
Short course chemo + radiation
Bone marrow transplant for relapse
26
Q

How does rituximab work to fight cancer?

A

It is a mAb for CD20. Binds to CD20 on B cells and makes them a target for phagocytosis by macrophages or killing my NK cells. Also initiates complement cascade for same effect.

27
Q

Alemtuzumab is a targeted therapy mAb for:

A

CD52

28
Q

brentuximab vedotin is a targeted therapy mAB for:

A

CD30

29
Q

ibrutinib is a targeted therapy inhibitor of:

A

Bruton Tyrosine Kinase

30
Q 
Which of the following is commonly associated with lymphoma after transplants?
HIV
EBV
HHV8
HTLV1
H. pylori
A

EBV

31
Q

What infections are associated with lymphoma?

A 
HIV
EBV
HHV8
HTLV1
H. pylori
32
Q

What is the most common cutaneous lymphoma?

A

Mycosis fungoides

33
Q

You see abnormal cells in the peripheral blood that have characteristic, cerebriform, large, and clefted nuclei with fine chromatin pattern and scanty cytoplasm. What are you tihinking?

A

Sezary syndrome. A type of lymphoma

34
Q

Hodgkin disease is derived from a B or T cell?

A

B cell

35
Q

If you see smudge cells, what should you be thinking?

A

CLL

36
Q

Describe the Rai staging system for CLL.

A 
0= lymphocytosis
1= enlarged lymph nodes
2= hepatosplenomegaly
3= Hb < 10 (non-immune)
4= platelets <100 K/uL (non-immune)
37
Q

17p deletions and TP53 mutations are associated with which malignancies of the blood?

A

multiple myeloma and CLL

38
Q

Unmutated VH (variable heavy chain) genes are a bad prognostic indicator for CLL. Why is that?

A

It means the cells have not differentiated.

39
Q

Poor prognostic indicators (prognosis is poor) of CLL are:

A 
High stage
Increased rate of lymphocyte doubling time
Beta 2 microglobulin
Deletion of 17p, TP53 mutations
Unmutated VH genes
40
Q

How do you treat CLL?

A

Alkylators: chlorambucil, cyclophosphamide, bendamustine
Purine analogues: Fludarabine
Chemotherapy combos: FCR
Immunotherapy: rituximab (CD20- ofatumumab is better), alemtuxumab (CD52)
ibrutinib (Bruton’s tyrosine kinase), Idelalisib (PI3Kinase delta inhibitor)
Radiation
Corticosteroids

41
Q

When do you start treating hairy cell leukemia (it is an indolent lymphoma)?

A

When the pt becomes cytopenic

42
Q

How do you treat hairy cell leukemia?

A

2-chlorodeoxyadenosine and deoxycoformycin

43
Q

What are 2 complications of CLL?

A

Frequent infections.
