[Clinical Characteristics of 30 Hodgkin's Lymphoma Patients with Extranodal Involvement].
Zhongguo Shi Yan Xue Ye Xue za Zhi 2016 June
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment outcomes, prognosis, delayed toxicity of Hodgkin's lymphoma with extranodal Involvement.
METHODS: Thirty patients newly diagnosed as Hodgkin's lymphoma with extranodal involvement from April 2008 to September 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTS: Twenty-seven patients suffered from the advanced-stage diseases, their major pathological changes were nodular sclerosis and mixed cellular type, the most commonly involeved extranodal sites were the lung and bones, followed by the liver, stomach and intestine. The common clinical presentation was assotiated with the involved organs. Multivariate analysis showed that albumin and the international prognostic score (IPS) were independent prognostic factors for 5-year DFS rate, the 5-year OS rate was only associated with IPS. Out of 20 patients received chemotherapy, 10 received the combined modality therapy. At the median follow-up of 51 months, the estimated 5-year OS and PFS rates were 89.3% and 78.9%, respectively. Delayed toxicities were observed in 3 patients, including Ewing's sarcoma of llium, hyperplasia of mammary glands and diabetes millitus. 5 patients kept fertility, no interstitial lung disease, lung cancer and cardiovascular disease occurred. It was not found that patients died from the treatment-related complications.
CONCLUSION: The therapeutic strategies for the Hodgkin's lymphoma patients with extranodal involvement should be similar to normal Hodgkin's lymphoma.
