Abstract Abstract 4856 Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics, prognostic factors and survival outcomes of patients with gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Patients and methods: 162 patients with gastric DLBCL were evaluated retrospectively. Comparisons were made between patients of gastric DLBCL with component of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (DLBCL/MALT) and patients of gastric DLBCL without detectable MALT component (de novo DLBCL). Results: Results according to the distribution of sex, age, stage, performance status, and other clinical characteristics were similar between de novo DLBCL group and DLBCL/MALT group (p>0.05). The ratio of patients with the germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) subtype to non-GCB subtype did not differ significantly between the two groups (1:1.1 versus 1:1.6, p=0.319). However, the proportion of patients with the stage-modified international prognostic index (m-IPI) ≥2 was higher in DLBCL/MALT groups (18%) than taht in de novo DLBCL groups (34%) (p=0.026). In addition, the H. pylori infection rate was 75% in DLBCL/MALT versus 38% in de novo DLBCL (p<0.001). Patients with de novo DLBCL have better 5-year PFS and OS estimates than those DLBCL/MALT patients (p=0.037 and 0.019 for the 5-year PFS and OS estimates, respectively). Surgical treatment did not offer survival benefit when compared with chemotherapy (p=0.405 and 0.065 for the 5-year PFS and OS estimates, respectively). Multivariate analysis revealed that non-GCB classification and m-IPI≥2 were independently associated with shorter OS and advanced stage was independently associated with shorter PFS. Conclusion: Gastric DLBCL is a heterogeneous disease that included de novo DLBCL and DLBCL/MALT lymphoma. Compared with the former, the latter has a higher H. pylori infection rate. And what's more, the proportion of patients with m-IPI≥2 is higher in DLBCL/MALT groups. De novo DLBCL was associated with higher 5-year PFS and OS estimates. Non-surgical treatment should be a primary consideration for gastric DLBCL. Immunophenotype classification and m-IPI were the most reliable factors for OS, and advanced stage was for PFS. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLCL) exhibits heterogeneous clinical features and varies in response to treatment and prognosis. Establishment of parameters that can predict outcome could help to identify patients who may benefit from risk-adjusted therapies. Because apoptosis-related proteins may play an important role in predicting the prognosis of DLCL, the current study investigated the significance of bcl-2 expression in relation to clinical characteristics in this patients. We studied 125 patients (74/51 men/women; median age 64.17 years) consecutively diagnosed with de novo DLBCL in a single institution from Peru (HNGAI) during 3-year period (2000–2002).Morphology, and clinical characteristics were analyzed according to the primary site of the lymphoma and edge. Paraffin-embedded specimens from 88 were analyzed immunohistochemically for bcl-2 protein expression. Cases with a positive immunohistological stain in more than 20% of the tumor cells were considered positive expression. Results: Sites of the disease were: lymph node, 78 cases (62.4%); Waldeyer’s ring, 18 (14.4%); and extranodal sites, 45 (36%), including GI tract in 33 cases. 5-year overall survival (OS) was 19.7%. Log-rank analyses of survival showed significant differences between ≥60 years old and younger patients (P=0.003).bcl-2 expression was identified in 34 patients (38.6%), There was no significant difference in the OS (P=0.453) between the bcl-2+ (n=34) and bcl-2− (n=54) groups. In conclusion, bcl-2 expression appeared to be non predictive of a good OS in patients with DLCL, however, there was still a clear trend that the bcl-2+ patients died sooner than the patients with tumors that contained bcl-2− lymphoma cells. The current study show all patients as were staged or confined in a group with high or high intermediate IPI scores and could be candidates for alternative therapeutic approaches.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic role of mammalian target of Rapamycin (mTOR) and C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) in diffuse large-B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients.Patients and methods: This retrospective study was collected data from 64 de novo DLBCL patients, who received standardized R-CHOP therapy at two oncology centers. CXCR4 and mTOR expressions were assessed by immunohistochemistry.Results: Out of the 64 DLBCL patients, 40 patients were positive for CXCR4 (62.5%) and 35 patients for mTOR (54.7%) expressions. CXCR4 expression was positively correlated with mTOR expression (r = 0.7; p < .001). While mTOR expression was significantly associated with high lactate dehydrogenase level (p = .03) and number of extranodal sites one or more (p =.02), CXCR4 expression was significantly associated with high IPI score (p < .001) and ECOG PS (p = .005). Furthermore, theexpression levels of mTOR and CXCR4 were significantly associated with older ages and poor response to treatment (p = .04, <.001 and .04, .03, respectively). After a median Follow up of 22 months, mean ± SD overall survival (OS) was 65.391 ± 4.705. Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that patients positive for mTOR and CXCR4 expression had shorter DFS (p = .01 & .02) and OS (p = .02 & .04). Multivariate analysis showed that CXCR4 and mTOR positivity is an independent prognostic factor for significantly poorer DFS (p = .03, and .02 respectively) but not for OS (p = .09 and .08 respectively) in the DLBCL pateints.Conclusion: Our results indicate that the expression of CXCR4 and mTOR may be poor prognostic biomarkers in DLBCL.

The gastrointestinal tract is a common extranodal site for lymphomas. However, primary gastrointestinal lymphomas are rare. Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) are the most commonly encountered type in the gastrointestinal tract. Most of the DLBCL are CD5 negative. CD5+ DLBCL is very rare and a poor prognostic subtype of lymphoma. We report a rare case of primary small bowel CD5+ DLBCL that evolved from being a localized low International Prognostic Index–scored disease into an advanced and aggressive disease primarily dictated by the presence of CD5 antigen positivity.
