Background/AimsLymphomas are the most frequent neoplasm of the orbit. However, the epidemiology of orbital lymphomas is not well reported. This study aimed to provide a population-based report on the epidemiology of orbital lymphomas and measure the trends in the incidence of orbital lymphoma cancer in South Korea.MethodsNationwide cancer incidence data from 1999 to 2016 were obtained from the Korea Central Cancer Registry. Age-standardised incidence rates and annual percent changes were calculated according to sex and histological types. The analysis according to the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results summary stage classifications was performed from 2006 to 2016. Survival rates were estimated for cases diagnosed from 1999 to 2016.ResultsA total of 630 patients (median age: 54 years) with orbital lymphoma in the orbital soft tissue were included in this study. The age-standardised incidence rates increased from 0.03 to 0.08 per 100 000 individuals between 1999 and 2016, with an annual percent change of 6.61%. The most common histopathological type of orbital lymphoma was extra marginal zone B cell lymphoma, accounting for 82.2% of all orbital lymphomas during 1999–2016, followed by diffuse large B cell lymphoma (9.2%). Five-year, 10-year and 15-year overall survival (OS) of orbital lymphoma was 90.8%, 83.8% and 75.8%, respectively. OS showed a significant decrease as age increased and no significant differences between men and women.ConclusionThe incidence rate of orbital lymphoma is very low in South Korea. However, the incidence rate has increased over the past years. Orbital lymphomas have a worse prognosis as age increases.

BackgroundOphthalmic lymphoma (OL) is the most common orbital tumour, particularly in older individuals. Little is known about the epidemiology and geographic distribution of OL in Canada. Descriptive demographic statistics are an important first step in understanding OL burden and are necessary to inform comprehensive national cancer prevention programmes.MethodsWe determined patterns of incidence and geographical distribution of the three major subtypes of OL: extranodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Here, we used cases that were diagnosed during 1992–2010 using two independent population-based cancer registries, the Canadian Cancer Registry and Le Registre Québécois du Cancer (LRQC).ResultsThe OL mean annual age-standardised incidence rate for 1992–2010 was 0.65 cases per million people per year with an average annual increase in the incidence rate of 4.5% per year. The mean age of diagnosis was 65 years. OL incidence rate was the highest in the cities located along the heavily industrialised Strait of Georgia in British Columbia.ConclusionsOur data on patient age, sex and temporal trends showed similarities with data reported in the USA and Denmark. Additional studies are needed to determine whether the observed increase in OL incidence is genuine or spurious.

Abstract Background Combination therapy with 3 cycles of chemotherapy followed by involved field radiotherapy has been a standard of care for treatment of localized diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (Miller TP NEJM 1998). This population based study evaluated ethnic disparities in receipt of radiotherapy (RT) and its effect on survival in patients with localized diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the United States. Methods The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database was reviewed to identify patients with stage I DLBCL diagnosed between 1998 and 2008. We used unadjusted and adjusted odds ratio (OR) to analyze association of receipt of radiotherapy with age (<60 and 60+ years), sex and ethnicity (White, Black and Others). We calculated relative survival rates for different cohorts using SEER*Stat software. We used cox’s proportional hazard model to investigate the impact of age, sex and ethnicity on survival rates. Results A total of 11763 patients with localized DLBCL as the only primary malignancy were included in the study. Of the cohort, 38.2% received radiotherapy. Receipt of radiotherapy varied significantly by patient ethnicity - whites were more likely to receive RT compared to blacks and others. Similarly, age <60 years and females were more likely to receive radiotherapy compared with older patients and males (Table – 1). The 1- and 5- year relative survival rates for patients receiving RT were higher compared to those who did not receive RT: 88.3±0.5% vs 73.4±0.6%, p-value <0.0001 at 1-year and 77.8±0.8% vs 62.5±0.7%, p-value <0.0001 at 5-years. Among patients who received RT, 1- and 5- year relative survival rates were significantly higher in whites compared to black or other- race patients. Conclusions This population based study showed that only 38.2% of patients with localized DLBCL received radiotherapy. White patients were more likely to receive RT compared to blacks and others. Survival rates are significantly higher for patients who received RT. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Background: Ibritumomab tiuxetan (IbT) is a radioimmunoconjugate linking rituximab with 90Y isotope. IbT is approved for treatment of relapsed/refractory indolent B-cell lymphomas, or for consolidation after chemotherapy in follicular lymphoma (FL), yet its use has been limited by concern about treatment-related myeloid neoplasms (tMDS/AML: acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome). The risk of tMDS/AML may differ among older patients who experience significant competing mortality. Our objective was to use population-based data to examine real-life patterns of use of IbT, and associated incidence of tMDS/AML among older patients with B-cell lymphomas. Methods: From the SEER-Medicare registry, which covers about 28% of the United States population, we selected fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries &gt;60 years [y] old, with B-cell lymphomas diagnosed between 2001-2015, who received systemic therapy. We identified the use of IbT, purine analogues, alkylating agents, and rituximab. We defined tMDS/AML as myeloid neoplasms diagnosed &gt;2 months from the start of first-line therapy for lymphoma, or use of tMDS/AML-directed chemotherapy. We estimated incidence rate and incidence rate ratio (IRR) for tMDS/AML after IbT exposure using a time-split survival model. By matching IbT recipients with non-recipients according to age, sex, lymphoma histology, and observation time from the start of lymphoma therapy, we compared the cumulative incidence function of tMDS/AML using competing risk models stratified by matched groups. We fitted the univariate model, and model adjusting for prior exposure to purine analogues or alkylators. Results: Among 43,945 Medicare beneficiaries (median age of 76 y) treated for diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL, 48%), FL (22%), mantle cell (7%), marginal zone (10%), or unspecified B-cell lymphoma (14%), 428 (1%) received IbT, at median 18 months from first-line chemotherapy (interquartile range [IQR], 8-34). IbT was used most frequently in FL (50%) and DLBCL (23%), and was applied as first-line treatment in 30 patients (7%). With median follow-up of 8.5 y, 618 cases of tMDS/AML were recorded (15 among IbT recipients, and 603 among non-recipients). Median latency from the start of first-line lymphoma therapy to tMDS/AML was 38 months (IQR, 18-65). The cumulative incidence rate of tMDS/AML after IbT exposure was 2.8% at 5y (95%CI, 1.2-4.4) and 3.9% at 10y (95%CI, 1.8-6.0). No tMDS/AML was observed among patients who received IbT as first-line treatment, before chemotherapy exposure. In the time-split survival analysis, the incidence of tMDS/AML was 0.39 per 100 person-years (95%CI, 0.18-0.60) without IbT exposure, and 1.02 (95%CI, 0.56-1.71) after IbT exposure, with an IRR of 3.22 (95%CI, 1.80-5.26). There was no significant heterogeneity in the IRR by lymphoma histology (Mantel-Haenszel test of homogeneity, P=.47). In the matched analysis (Fig A), the cumulative incidence of tMDS/AML was significantly higher among patients receiving IbT (subhazard ratio [SHR], 2.16; 95%CI, 1.32-3.55). However, the association became non-significant after adjusting for prior exposure to myelotoxic chemotherapy (SHR, 1.58; 95%CI, 0.93-2.68). Prior exposures to a purine analogue (SHR 3.83; 95%CI, 2.96-4.95) or an alkylator (SHR, 1.39; 95%CI, 1.11-1.75) remained significantly associated with increased risk of tMDS/AML. Median overall survival after tMDS/AML diagnosis was 0.6y (95%CI, 0.5-0.7), and it did not differ according to IbT exposure status (P=.62; Fig B). Conclusions: The cumulative incidence of secondary tMDS/AML in this large population-based cohort is similar to reports from clinical trials (Czuczman et al. J Clin Oncol. 2007), and lower than in some prior observational series (Epperla N, et al., Br J Haematol 2017). Our results support the use of IbT for older patients with indolent lymphomas. Exposure to IbT was associated with an increased incidence of tMDS/AML, but it was no longer significant after adjustment for prior exposure to myelotoxic chemotherapy. This result suggests that the increased incidence of tMDS/AML is a cumulative effect of IbT with other myelotoxic agents. Caution should thus be exercised when using IbT after exposure to chemotherapy. The fact that no tMDS/AML were observed in patients receiving IbT as first line therapy suggests that earlier use of IbT may be preferable from the point of view of the tMDS/AML risk.

Abstract Background Rituximab was approved by FDA as first line agent for treatment of advanced diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) on February 2006. We conducted this population based study to determine if the results from clinical trials have translated into survival benefit in general population. Methods We selected patients with advanced diffuse large B cell lymphoma (Distant stage based on LRD Summary Staging 1998+ in SEER*Stat) from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) 18 database (1973-2010), and calculated relative survival rates for patients diagnosed from 2002-2005(pre-rituximab) and March 2006 to 2009 (post-rituximab). We used Z-test in the SEER*Stat to compare the relative survival rates in cohorts categorized by race (white, black and other), gender, and age groups (<60 and 60+). The “Cansurv” software, and specifically, Cox proportional hazard function were used to investigate the influence of age (<60 ; 60+ years), sex (male; female), race (white; black; others) and marital status (married; single; separated/divorced/widowed) on the relative survival. Results A total of 15627 patients with advanced stage DLBCL as the only primary cancer were identified. Patients were predominantly white of non-Hispanic, non-Spanish/non-Latino origin, males, belonging to the older age category and married. The median age at the diagnosis was 65 years. One-year relative survival in ‘Whites’ and ‘Others’ improved significantly in post-rituximab era compared to pre-rituximab era (64.80 ± 0.6% vs 61.3 ± 0.6%; p= 0.0002 and 64.5 ± 1.9% vs 54.9 ± 2.2%; p= 0.0011, respectively). Also, three year relative survival improved significantly in ‘Whites’ and ‘Others’ in post-rituximab era compared to pre-rituximab era (53.7 ± 0.7% vs 50.3 ± 0.7%; p= 0.0001 and 52.0 ± 2.3% vs 40.8 ± 2.3%; p= 0.0002, respectively). However, no significant improvement were observed in one-year and three-year relative survival in blacks, during post rituximab era comapared to pre-rituximab era. Interestingly, in pre-rituximab era, relative survival in blacks was comparable to that of whites, but it was significantly better than that of others (p<.05). Although there was significant improvement in one- and three-year relative survival in young females, old males and old females, no significant improvement (p>.05) in survival was observed in the young males. Factors such as young age, female sex, non-Hispanic origin, white race, married status and post-rituximab era were associated with significantly better survival (p<.05). Conclusion The relative survival rates among young males and black patients with advanced diffuse large B cell lymphoma has not improved during post-rituximab era. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract Background Rituximab became commercially available in Novermber 1997. It was FDA approved in February 2006 for the first line treatment of patients with advanced diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The incidence of diffuse large B cell lymphoma increases with age, with >100 cases per 100000 persons aged >80 years. There is a limited data on survival very elderly patients with DLBCL. This study was conducted to evaluate survival trends of very elderly (≥80 years) patients with advanced DLBCL in the United States. Methods We selected very elderly patients (age ≥80 years) diagnosed with Stage III and IV DLBCL from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) 18 database. We calculated 1- and 2- year relative survival rates of the patients during 1992-1997 (Pre-rituximab era) and 1998-2009 (post –rituximab era). We also analyzed survival rates of patients diagnosed before (1998 – 2005) and after (2006-2009) FDA approval of rituximab for the first line treatment of DLBCL. We used SEER Stat software to calculate relative survival (RS) rates. Results There were 2709 advanced DLBCL patients reported during 1992-2009. Overall median survival of the group was 6±0.240 months. The 1- and 2- year relative survival rates of the patients improved significantly from pre-rituximab era to post-rituximab era (1 year RS: 30±2.0 vs 38.9±1.2; Z value 4.16 and 2 year RS: 19.7±1.8 vs 32.8±1.2; Z 5.16). The survival rates were higher in the post-rituximab era for all the cohorts except the Blacks and Others. However, there was no difference in the survival rates of the patients diagnosed during 2006-2009 compared to those diagnosed during 1998-2005 (Table). Conclusion Our population based study showed that the survival rates of very elderly patients with advanced DLBCL have improved in the post-rituximab era for all groups except the Blacks and Others. There is no significant improvement in survival of patients before- and after approval of rituximab in the post-rituximab era. Abstract 2640.

AbstractWe performed a national population-based study of all patients diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in Sweden in 2007–2014 to assess treatment intent and risk of relapsed/refractory disease, including central nervous system (CNS) relapse, in the presence of competing risks. Overall, 84% of patients started treatment with curative intent (anthracycline-based) (n = 3550, median age 69 years), whereas 14% did not (n = 594, median age 84 years) (for 2% the intent was uncertain). Patients treated with curative intent had a 5-year OS of 65.3% (95% CI: 63.7–66.9). The median OS among non-curatively treated patients was 2.9 months. The 5-year cumulative incidence of relapsed/refractory disease in curative patients was 23.1% (95% CI: 21.7–24.6, n = 847). The 2-year cumulative incidence of CNS relapse was 3.0% (95% CI: 2.5–3.6, n = 118) overall, and 8.0% (95% CI: 6.0–10.6, n = 48) among patients with high CNS-IPI (4–6), when considering other relapse locations and death as competing events. The incidence of relapsed/refractory DLBCL overall and in the CNS was lower than in previous reports, still one in seven patients was not considered fit enough to start standard immunochemotherapy at diagnosis. These results are important for quantification of groups of DLBCL patients with poor prognosis requiring completely different types of interventions.

Introduction: Hodgkin's and non-lymphomas Hodgkin's are malignant tumours of lymphoid tissue. Non-lymphomas Hodgkin's are a type of lymphoid tissue cancers that arise from T or B cells or their progenitors, and can be indolent or aggressive. B-cell lymphomas account for around 80% of all cases in the United States. Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma are all examples of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Non-Lymphoma Hodgkin's is the sixth most prevalent malignancy in the United States, with incidence rates nearly doubling in the last 35 years. With each decade of life, the incidence rises; the median age upon diagnosis is 66. In India, the incidence rates in urban regions are many times higher than in rural areas, with the incidence being higher in metropolitan cities and among Indian immigrants, implying that urban lifestyles and economic advancement may boost cancer incidence. In 2010, NHL was projected to have caused roughly 0.36 million new cases and 0.19 million deaths. Case Presentation: A male patient of Two and half years from Shiwangaon MO, was admitted to Paediatric Ward, AVBRH on 31st May, 2021 with a known case of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma which was diagnosed itself at AVBRH on 31st May,2021. My patient was brought with a chief complain of swelling in the testicular region for 6 days. As narrated by the patient’s father, my patient was apparently alright 6 months back and then patient develop swelling in temporal region suddenly, associated with pain on touch, as the swelling develops more and uncomfortable, patient was brought immediately to AVBRH and was admitted in Paediatric Ward for further investigation.

Abstract Background: Spinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) was a rare and malignant tumor, while few studies researched the prognostic factors. The prognostic factors which might have impacts on spinal DLBCL was not clear. Although chemotherapy was recognized as an optimal treatment method, but the curative effect of radiotherapy and surgery were controversial. Methods: The records of patients with spinal DLBCL were selected from the SEER database from 1991 to 2016. The incidence obtained by database was analyzed by Joinpoint Regression Program. The optimal cut-off values of age and year of diagnosis were identified by X-tail program. Univariate and multivariate survival analysis were calculated to identify independent prognostic factors. Prognostic factors were included to predict the survival possibility compared with 5 years of overall (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) via the new nomograms. Results: A total of 917 patients were enrolled. Age, year of diagnosis and chemotherapy were demonstrated as independent prognostic factors for CSS and OS, and primary site was another independent prognostic factor for CSS. However, radiotherapy and surgery might be ineffective in survival. All factors were included to generate the nomograms for CSS and OS. The concordance indices (C-index) for internal validation of OS and CSS prediction were 0.697 (95%CI: 0.662-0.732) and 0.709 (95%CI: 0.692- 0.727) respectively. Conclusions: Age and year of diagnosis are closely associated with the prognosis of spinal DLBCL, and chemotherapy is an ideal treatment modality. The new nomogram is a favourable tool to evaluate the survival possibility, and is benefit for the oncologist to make clinical decisions.
