Peripheral T-cell lymphomas in a large US multicenter cohort: prognostication in the modern era including impact of frontline therapy.

ABSTRACT: Optimal frontline therapy for peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) in the modern era remains unclear.We examined patient characteristics, treatment, and outcomes among 341 newly diagnosed PTCL patients from 2000 to 2011. Outcome was compared with a matched cohort of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients, and prognostic factors were assessed using univariate and multivariate analyses.PTCL subtypes included PTCL, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) (31%), anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma (ALCL) (26%), angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (23%), NK/T-cell lymphoma (7%), acute T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (6%), and other (7%). Median age was 62 years (range 18-95 years), and 74% had stage III-IV disease. Twenty-three (7%) patients received only palliative care whereas 318 received chemotherapy: CHOP-like regimens (70%), hyperCVAD/MA (6%), or other (18%). Thirty-three patients (10%) underwent stem-cell transplantation (SCT) in first remission. The overall response rate was 73% (61% complete); 24% had primary refractory disease. With 39-month median follow-up, 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 32% and 52%. PFS and OS for PTCL patients were significantly inferior to matched patients with DLBCL. On multivariate analysis, stage I-II disease was the only significant pretreatment prognostic factor [PFS: hazard ratio (HR) 0.54, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.34-0.85, P = 0.007; OS: HR 0.42, 95% CI 0.22-0.78, P = 0.006]. ALK positivity in ALCL was prognostic on univariate analysis, but lost significance on multivariate analysis. The most dominant prognostic factor was response to initial therapy (complete response versus other), including adjustment for stage and SCT [PFS: HR 0.19, 95% CI 0.14-0.28, P < 0.0001; OS: HR 0.26, 95% CI 0.17-0.40, P < 0.0001]. No overall survival difference was observed based on choice of upfront regimen or SCT in first remission.This analysis identifies early-stage disease and initial treatment response as dominant prognostic factors in PTCL. No clear benefit was observed for patients undergoing consolidative SCT. Novel therapeutic approaches for PTCL are critically needed.

Project description:BackgroundPrimary urinary neuroendocrine neoplasms (U-NENs) are extremely rare thus optimal treatment is unknown. Grading and treatment are typically extrapolated from other primary sites. Since 2010, the clinical landscape for NENs has changed substantially. We performed a retrospective review of U-NENs to assess treatment patterns and oncologic outcomes of patients treated in the recent era of NEN therapy.Patients and methodsA multicenter retrospective review of patients diagnosed after 2005 and alive after 2010. Time to treatment failure (TTF) was used to evaluate progression and toxicity for systemic therapy. Tumors were categorized as having either well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor (WDNET) or poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma (PDNEC) histology.ResultsA total of 134 patients from 6 centers were included in our analysis, including 94 (70%) bladder, 32 (24%) kidney, 2 (1.5%) urethra and 4 other urinary primaries (3.0%). Poorly-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma was more common in bladder (92%) than non-bladder tumors (8%). Median Ki-67 available in bladder primary was 90% (n = 24), kidney 10% (n = 23), ureter 95% (n = 1), urethra 54% (n = 2), and others 90% (n = 3). Patients received a median of 2 therapies (range 0-10). Median time to death was not reached in locoregional WDNETs versus 8.2 years (95% CI, 3.5-noncalculable) in metastatic WDNETs (predominantly renal primary). Median time to death was 3.6 years (95% CI, 2.2-9.2) in locoregional PDNECs versus 1 year (95% CI, 0.8-1.3) in metastatic PDNECs (predominantly bladder primary).ConclusionThis is the most extensive series examining treatment patterns in patients with U-NENs in the recent era of NEN therapy. The apparent inferior survival for bladder NENs is likely due to the preponderance of PDNECs in this group. As predicted, treatments for U-NENs mirrored that of other more common NENs. In our retrospective cohort, we observed that patients with WD-UNETs treated with peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) and everolimus suggested potential activity for disease control in WD-UNETs. Prospective studies are needed to assess the activity of new oncology drugs in UNENs.

Project description:BackgroundDespite the widespread institution of modern massive transfusion protocols with balanced blood product ratios, survival for patients with traumatic hemorrhage receiving ultramassive transfusion (UMT) (defined as ≥20 U of packed red blood cells [RBCs]) in 24 hours) remains low and resource consumption remains high. Therefore, we aimed to identify factors associated with mortality in trauma patients receiving UMT in the modern resuscitation era.MethodsAn Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma multicenter retrospective study of 461 trauma patients from 17 trauma centers who received ≥20 U of RBCs in 24 hours was performed (2014-2019). Multivariable logistic regression and Classification and Regression Tree analysis were used to identify clinical characteristics associated with mortality.ResultsThe 461 patients were young (median age, 35 years), male (82%), severely injured (median Injury Severity Score, 33), in shock (median shock index, 1.2; base excess, -9), and transfused a median of 29 U of RBCs, 22 U of fresh frozen plasma (FFP), and 24 U of platelets (PLT). Mortality was 46% at 24 hours and 65% at discharge. Transfusion of RBC/FFP ≥1.5:1 or RBC/PLT ≥1.5:1 was significantly associated with mortality, most pronounced for the 18% of patients who received both RBC/PLT and RBC/FFP ≥1.5:1 (odds ratios, 3.11 and 2.81 for mortality at 24 hours and discharge; both p < 0.01). Classification and Regression Tree identified that age older than 50 years, low initial Glasgow Coma Scale, thrombocytopenia, and resuscitative thoracotomy were associated with low likelihood of survival (14-26%), while absence of these factors was associated with the highest survival (71%).ConclusionDespite modern massive transfusion protocols, one half of trauma patients receiving UMT are transfused with either RBC/FFP or RBC/PLT in unbalanced ratios ≥1.5:1, with increased associated mortality. Maintaining focus on balanced ratios during UMT is critical, and consideration of advanced age, poor initial mental status, thrombocytopenia, and resuscitative thoracotomy can aid in prognostication.Level of evidencePrognostic, level III.
