Occupation and Risk of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and Its Subtypes: A Pooled Analysis from the InterLymph Consortium
2016
Background: Various occupations have been associated with an elevated risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), but results have been inconsistent across studies. Objectives: We investigated occupational risk of NHL and of four common NHL subtypes with particular focus on occupations of a priori interest. Methods: We conducted a pooled analysis of 10,046 cases and 12,025 controls from 10 NHL studies participating in the InterLymph Consortium. We harmonized the occupational coding using the 1968 International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO-1968) and grouped occupations previously associated with NHL into 25 a priori groups. Odds ratios (ORs) adjusted for center, age, and sex were det…
Durability of complete response after blinatumomab therapy for refractory/relapsed aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
2019
e19041 Background: Achieving durable response in patients (pts) with relapsed/refractory (R/R) aggressive B-cell lymphoma (B-NHL) is challenging. Blinatumomab, a bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) immunotherapy targeting CD19-expressing cancer cells, has shown promising efficacy in pts with R/R aggressive B-NHL. We report the durability of complete response (DOCR) in pts treated with blinatumomab. Methods: The DOCR in pts with R/R aggressive B-NHL responding to blinatumomab was assessed using data from two phase 2 studies (study 1 [N = 25], NCT01741792; study 2 [N = 41], NCT02910063) in pts with R/R aggressive B-NHL. CR was assessed using Cheson (study 1) and Lugano (study 2) criteria. Time-…
Survival variations by country and age for lymphoid and myeloid malignancies in Europe 2000–2007: Results of EUROCARE-5 population-based study
2015
BACKGROUND: Significant advances in the management of patients with lymphoid and myeloid malignancies entered clinical practice in the early 2000's. The EUROCARE-5 study database provides an opportunity to assess the impact of these changes at the population level by country in Europe. We provide survival estimates for clinically relevant haematological malignancies (HM), using the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology 3, by country, gender and age in Europe. METHODS: We estimated age-standardised relative survival using the complete cohort approach for 625, 000 adult patients diagnosed in 2000-2007 and followed up to 2008. Survival information was provided by 89 participati…
Genetic overlap between autoimmune diseases and non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes.
2019
International audience; Epidemiologic studies show an increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in patients with autoimmune disease (AD), due to a combination of shared environmental factors and/or genetic factors, or a causative cascade: chronic inflammation/antigen-stimulation in one disease leads to another. Here we assess shared genetic risk in genome-wide-association-studies (GWAS). Secondary analysis of GWAS of NHL subtypes (chronic lymphocytic leukemia, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, and marginal zone lymphoma) and ADs (rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and multiple sclerosis). Shared genetic risk was assessed by (a) description of regional g…
Minimum tolerable interval of 90yttrium ibritumomab-tiuxetan to autologous stem cell transplantation after high-dose chemotherapy with carmustin, eto…
2012
6543 Background: High-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in patients (pts) with aggressive B-NHL failing from immunochemotherapy including rituximab show poor outcome with 3y PFS of 39% (Gisselbrecht et al. JCO 2010). Combining BEAM with 90yttrium ibritumomab tiuxetan is a promising option to enhance the efficacy of the high-dose regimen. Methods: Pts without disease progression during salvage therapy of relapsed or refractory CD20+ aggressive B-NHL were included in this prospective, multicenter, phase I/II trial. Primary endpoint was the maximum tolerated dose of 90Yttrium ibritumomab tiuxetan given as close as possible to ASCT defined as <2 pts with dose limi…
Rituximab for indolent lymphomas before and after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
2015
Purpose of review The most substantial advancement in the treatment of indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), since the advent of combination chemotherapy, has been the introduction of the monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody rituximab. However, the optimal schedule, timing, and duration of rituximab therapy remain controversial. Recent findings Since its initially reported single-agent activity in 1997, the role of rituximab has greatly expanded and it is now ubiquitously integrated in all treatment phases of indolent NHL. Yet, several questions remain to be addressed: should asymptomatic patients be treated at diagnosis with single-agent rituximab or still kept in watchful waiting, what are…
Residential Exposure to PM2.5 Components and Risk of Childhood Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in Denmark: A Nationwide Register-Based Case-Control Study
2020
In a recent study, we observed an increased risk of childhood non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) associated with exposure to fine atmospheric particulate matter (PM2.5) and black carbon (BC). In this nationwide register-based case-control study, we focus on specific components of PM2.5 in relation to childhood NHL in Denmark (1981&ndash
Pleiotropic antitumor effects of the pan-HDAC inhibitor ITF2357 against c-Myc-overexpressing human B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas,
2014
Histone deacetylases (HDAC) extensively contribute to the c-Myc oncogenic program, pointing to their inhibition as an effective strategy against c-Myc-overexpressing cancers. We, thus, studied the therapeutic activity of the new-generation pan-HDAC inhibitor ITF2357 (Givinostat®) against c-Myc-overexpressing human B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHLs). ITF2357 anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects were analyzed in B-NHL cell lines with c-Myc translocations (Namalwa, Raji and DOHH-2), stabilizing mutations (Raji) or post-transcriptional alterations (SU-DHL-4) in relationship to c-Myc modulation. ITF2357 significantly delayed the in vitro growth of all B-NHL cell lines by inducing G1 c…
