Extra-nodal NHL
Table of Contents
|
Epidymiology
- 25 to 45% of all lymphomas
- The most common lymphoma is skin lymphoma (majority T-cell histology)
- For b-cell histology the most common are gastric lymphoma, Waldeyer's ring lymphoma, and brain.
Primary CNS Lymphoma
Head and Neck
Waldeyer' Ring Lymphomas
Treatment
- Chemoradiation better than RT aloneAviles
- RT: Involved field and draining nodes to 40 Gy (range 35-50 Gy )
- Chemo: CHOP like
Outcome[2]
Treatment | 5-FFS |
Chemoradiation | 83% |
RT alone | 48% |
Chemo alone | 45% |
p-value | <.001 |
- OS 50-60% for IE and 25-50% for IIE but high relapse.
Paranasal Sinues and Nasal Lymphoma
- B cell typically in US.
- CMT is the treatments
- RFS at 87% for stage I and 70% for stage II.
Salivary Gland Lymphomas
- Increased risk with Sjogren's syndrome.
- Myoepithelial sialoadenitis (MESA) characteristic of Sjogren's syndrome is a part of the spectrum of salivary gland
- MALT are most common type
- RT for low grade and CMT for intermediate/high grade.
Thyroid Lymphoma
- Associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
Treatment
- Surgery and chemoradiation with 35-40 Gy of RT.
- RT alone is appropriate for localized MALT or follicular lymphomas
Outcome
- 95% local control for localized MALT or follicular lymphomas
Orbital Lymphomas
Lymphoma of the eye may be extraocular orbital tissues
- conjunctiva
- retorbulbar region
- lacrimal gland
Lymphoma of the eye may be eye itself and is called primary intraocular lymphoma
MALT
- 2/3 of the tumors of the conjunctiva are MALT
- 10-15% are bilateral
- Staging: MR of the orbit as well as the usual staging workup.
- 20-30% give 95% 5-yr DSS.
- 20% distant failure.
- 20-30 Gy should be given
- Some feel entire orbit should be treated to avoid marginal miss.
Orbial Lymphoma (Low-grade)[3]
- Treat whole orbit to 25-30 Gy
- Local Control Rate > 95%
DLBCL
- DLBCL is most often seen in Retro-orbital area
- 3-6 cycles of chemotherapy followed by 30-35 Gy in 1.5 to 1.75 Gy fractions RT
Intraocular Lymphoma
Thorax
Breast Lymphomas
Lung Lymphomas
Mediastinal (Thymic) Large Cell Lymphoma
GU
Testicular Lymphomas
Definition
- Most all are DLBLC
Spread
- 34% CNS relapse at 10 years
- Contralateral testicular relapse occurs in 15% at 3 years and 42% at 15 years.
Treatment
- Surgery (orchiectomy)
- Scrotal RT (25-30 Gy) reduces contrlateral testis failure to 10%[4]
- CNS prophylaxis need with IT chemotherapy
- Systemic chemotherapy
Outcome
- 5-OS 16-65%
- median survival 12-24 months
Bladder Lymphomas
Femal Genital Tract Lymphomas
Intestinal Lymphoma
- is initially resected and
- if low grade then WART to 20-25Gy and
- if intermediate grade the chemotherapy.
Cutaneous Lymphoma
Three broad categories
- CTCLs of indolent clinical behavior (70&):
- mycosis fungoides
- primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (c-ALCL)
- lymphomatoid papulosis
- rare types (sucutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma)
- CTCL of aggressive clinical behavior (< 10%)
- Sezary syndrome: leukemic phase of mycosis fungoides
- peripheral T-cell lymphoma
- NK cell lymphoma of nasal type
- Cutaneous B-cell lymphoma (25%)
- indolent histologies
- follicular center lymphoma
- MALT
- Borrelia burgdorferi has been implicated.
General
- in contrast to typical situation, clinical behavior of cutaneous lymphoma is governed by location and skin presentation.
- leg worse outlook than skin surfaces eleswhere.
Treatment
Bone Lymphomas
- Usually diffuse histiocytic tumor (ie intermediate grade).
- Nodal metastases in 20% of the cases.
- Very radiosensitive.
- LC with RT alone is about 80-90% (100% in series by DTMarshall UF).
- Treat the entire bone to 40-45Gy initially and then boost an additional 10-15Gy if with radiation alone.
- 5 year survival is 60%.
- CMT with doses of 35Gy minimum with RFS of 70% at 5 years.
