NHL tx

A
  • surgery has NO significant role
  • radiation
  • chemo
18
Q

classes of chemo generally used in NHL

A

alkylators
anthracylines
steroids

19
Q

indolent NHL tx

A

QOL tx

rituximab

20
Q

rituximab

A

monoclonal CD20 Ab

antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC)

complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC)

apoptosis

21
Q

NHL chemo combo

A

CHOP

cyclophosphamide
doxorubicin
vincristine
prednisone

22
Q

HIV-associated lymphoma

A

vast majority=aggressive

  • B cell origin
  • CD4 <200
  • high viral load/advanced disease
  • tx w/ HAART –> dec risk
23
Q

HL

A

unusual variant of B-cell lymphoma (~15%)

adenopathy (progressive)

  • neck/mediatinum
  • sx: night sweats/fevers/weight loss, “pel-ebstein” fevers, pruritus, EtOH
  • typically slow, orderly growth
  • tx outcomes for early stage disease = excellent
24
Q

HL age distribution

A

bimodal, 20s or 60s

25
Q

nivolumab

A

targets PD-1 on T-cells (a suppressor of immune function)

binds and INactivates this

unleashes T cells that recognize Reed-Sternberg cells

HL tx

26
Q

half of HL cases contain ____ DNA in Reed-Sternberg cells

A

EBV

27
Q

reed sterberg cellClas

A

multinucleate giant cells derived from malignant B lymphocytes

CD30, CD15

IgH rearrangement

monoclonal

seen in classical HL (from mature B cells at germinal center)

28
Q

CD30, CD15

A

Reed Sternberg cell

29
Q

HL staging

A

I-single lymphoid chain
II-2 chains on one side of diaphragm
III-above and below diaphragm
IV-diffuse non-lymphoid spread

also

A-absense of constitutional sx
B-presence of (F/NS/>10%weight loss)
M-bulky mediastinal mass
E-involvement of extra nodal site

30
Q

classical HL

A

4 subtypes

  • nodular sclerosis
  • mixed cellularity
  • lymphocyte rich
  • lymphocyte poor
31
Q

non-classic HL

A

1 subtypes

32
Q

HL tx goals

A

aimed at cute, start ASAP

33
Q

HL

standard chemotherapy

A

ABVD

adriamycin
bleomycin
vinblastin
dacarbizine

34
Q

HL early stage tx

A

radiation alone

chemo +radiation just to site of involvement

or chemo alone

35
Q

surveillance of HL survivors

A
  • mammograms starting at 30 or 8-10 yrs from XRT

- colonoscopy 8-10 yrs post XRT

36
Q

Brentuximab

A

fusion chemo-immunoconjugate combining a monoclonal Ab against CD30 and an MT inhibitor

*RS cells =CD30
