Surgery shows survival benefit in patients with primary intestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: A population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The clinical characteristics and prognosis of primary intestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PI-DLBCL) are rarely reported. We aimed to explore the role of surgery in patients with PI-DLBCL.

Methods

Adult PI-DLBCL patients were included from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. The effect of surgery was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional regression analyses. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to reinforce our results. Lasso regression was utilized to determine independent risk factors of overall survival (OS) for a nomogram and a novel web-based calculator. The performance of the model was measured via concordance index, receiver operating characteristic curve, and calibration plots in both cohorts.

Results

Overall, 1602 patients with PI-DLBCL were analyzed. Surgery significantly improved survival in both univariate and multivariate analyses (p = 0.007, p < 0.001, respectively). Before PSM, local tumor destruction (LTD) displayed a survival advantage over resection in patients without chemotherapy (p = 0.034). After PSM, surgery was still identified as a beneficial factor for OS (p = 0.0015). However, there was no statistical difference between LTD and resection (p = 0.32). The nomogram for 3-, 5-, and 10-year OS predictions exhibited dependable consistency between internal and external validation.

Conclusion

This study approves the beneficial effect of surgery on clinical endpoints in PI-DLBCL patients. For those who are not suitable for resection, LTD may also be a practical option. The predictive nomogram and the web-based calculator could help clinicians individually evaluate the prognosis and optimize personalized treatment decisions for these patients.

Project description:BackgroundThe aim of this retrospective study was to compare the long-term survival of patients receiving conservative with surgical treatment to analyze the prognostic factors and the impact of surgery on oncological outcomes of patients with primary gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.MethodsA total of 2647 patients diagnosed with primary gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma from 1998 to 2014 were extracted from SEER database. Propensity matching was performed to compare the clinicopathological characteristics of the two groups. Based on the recursive partitioning analysis, the patients were divided into three risk subgroups: low risk, intermediate risk, and high risk.ResultsAfter propensity score matching, patient characteristics did not differ significantly between the two groups. The 5-year cancer-specific survival rates of the surgical group and the conservative treatment group were, respectively, 60% and 59.2% (P = 0.952) before propensity matching and 64.2% and 58.6% (P = 0.046) after propensity matching. According to the multivariate analysis, age, tumor stage, and chemotherapy and surgery were independent risk factors for long-term survival. The 5-year cancer-specific survival rates differed significantly between the low-risk, intermediate-risk, and high-risk patients (76.2% vs. 57.4% vs. 25.5%, respectively, P < 0.001). The 5-year cancer-specific survival rate of the surgical group was significantly higher than that of the conservative treatment group in the low-risk patients. However, it did not differ significantly in the intermediate-risk and high-risk patients (P > 0.05).ConclusionsA prognostic model was constructed based on the independent risk factors of age, tumor stage, and chemotherapy. The prognostic model indicated that low-risk patients (age < 75 years, stage I/II, with/without chemotherapy) undergoing surgical treatment may benefit from long-term survival, while intermediate- and high-risk patients (age ≥ 75 years, stage I/II, with/without chemotherapy or III/IV patients, with/without chemotherapy) gain no significant benefit from surgery.

Project description:Background Gastrointestinal tract is the most common site of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (EN-NHL). Most of the published data have been on gastric NHL with limited studies on primary intestinal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (PI-NHL) considering rare incidence. We performed epidemiological and survival analysis for PI-NHL from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) 18 database. Methods A total of 9,143 PI-NHL cases of age ≥ 18 years were identified from the SEER 18 database for the period 2000 - 2015. Totally, 8,568 patients were included for survival analysis. Cause-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) analysis were done for PI-NHL and PI-diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PI-DLBCL) using sex, age of onset, treatment, histology, stage, and year of diagnosis. Survival analysis was done by using Cox proportional hazard model and Kaplan-Meier plot with log-rank test. Results The percentage of PI-NHL of all the intestinal cancers and EN-NHL were 1.35%, and 10.52%, respectively. The age-adjusted incidence was 0.9145/100,000 population for the study population. PI-NHL was more common among patients aged ≥ 60 years, male and non-Hispanics Whites. Majority of patients were diagnosed at stage 1 and 2 (74%), and DLBCL (44.8%) was the most common histology. Overall median survival was 111 (95% confidence interval (CI): 105 - 117) months. In OS analysis, significant increased risk of mortality was seen with T-cell NHLs vs. DLBCL (hazard ratio (HR): 2.56), patients aged ≥ 60 vs. < 60 years (HR: 2.87), stage 4 vs. stage 1 (HR: 1.93), male vs. female (HR: 1.17), with best outcome seen in patient treated with combination of chemotherapy and surgery vs. none (HR: 0.45). Similar results were seen in CSS and for PI-DLBCL as well. Significant improvement in outcomes was observed for PI-DLBCL patients receiving chemotherapy with/without surgery. Conclusions Findings from our large, population-based study reveal PI-NHL is a rare type of intestinal malignancy with significant difference in survival based on histological and epidemiological characteristics.
