Lymphopoiesis Flashcards
light cahins can establish
clontality in b cells
symptoms of lymphoma
local enlargement; typically non-tender
compression of adjacent structures
release of cytokines, producing sytsemic B symptoms
b cell lymphoma of follicular origin
monoclonal light chain, CD 19, CD20, CD5 pos, CD 10 neg
b cell small lymphocytic lymphoma
monoclonal light chain, CD 19, CD20, CD5, CD 23 pos, CD 10 neg
indolent lymphmas
Follicular
Marginal Zone
MALT
intermediate lymphoma
diffuse large cell
peripheral t cell
highly aggressive lymphoma
burkitt
4 types of classical hodgkins lymphoma
nodular sclerosing
lymphocyte predominant
mixed cellularity
lymphocyte depleted
most cases of lyphoma are not
familial
fatigue is NOT
a b symptom
LDH is a sign of
cell turnover in NHL
Ann Arbor Staging System
Stage 1- single lymph node on one side of diaphragm
Stage 2- 2+ on same side of diaphragm
Stage 3- lymphs on both sides of diaphragm
Stage 4- diffuse involvement of extralymphatic sites
IPI
age >60 perf status (2-4- lower is better) LDH level- elevated extranodal involvement >1 site stage (III-IV)
diffuse large cell lymphoma stage 1/2 cure
chemo and radiation
diffuse cell treatment stage III/IV
chemo only
CHOP
cyclophosphamide
doxorubicin
vincristine
prednisone
follicular lymphoma
slow dividing lymphocytes–>disease of slow accumulation due to defect apoptosis
increase in regulated BCL2–>anti-apoptic cells
grade 1 follicular lymphoma
small cleaved lymphocytes
