Background. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the long-term survival of patients receiving conservative with surgical treatment to analyze the prognostic factors and the impact of surgery on oncological outcomes of patients with primary gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Methods. A total of 2647 patients diagnosed with primary gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma from 1998 to 2014 were extracted from SEER database. Propensity matching was performed to compare the clinicopathological characteristics of the two groups. Based on the recursive partitioning analysis, the patients were divided into three risk subgroups: low risk, intermediate risk, and high risk. Results. After propensity score matching, patient characteristics did not differ significantly between the two groups. The 5-year cancer-specific survival rates of the surgical group and the conservative treatment group were, respectively, 60% and 59.2% (P=0.952) before propensity matching and 64.2% and 58.6% (P=0.046) after propensity matching. According to the multivariate analysis, age, tumor stage, and chemotherapy and surgery were independent risk factors for long-term survival. The 5-year cancer-specific survival rates differed significantly between the low-risk, intermediate-risk, and high-risk patients (76.2% vs. 57.4% vs. 25.5%, respectively, P<0.001). The 5-year cancer-specific survival rate of the surgical group was significantly higher than that of the conservative treatment group in the low-risk patients. However, it did not differ significantly in the intermediate-risk and high-risk patients (P>0.05). Conclusions. A prognostic model was constructed based on the independent risk factors of age, tumor stage, and chemotherapy. The prognostic model indicated that low-risk patients (age<75 years, stage I/II, with/without chemotherapy) undergoing surgical treatment may benefit from long-term survival, while intermediate- and high-risk patients (age≥75 years, stage I/II, with/without chemotherapy or III/IV patients, with/without chemotherapy) gain no significant benefit from surgery.

Abstract Introduction: Long-term survival rates among patients with chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukaemia (CP-CML) have remarkably improved since the introduction of imatinib, a BCR-ABL1 tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI), as the standard first-line therapy. Several prognostic scores have been employed to predict clinical response and survival of CP-CML patients treated with TKIs. The EUTOS long-term survival (ELTS) score was recently introduced and shown to predict the probability of CML-specific death in long-term surviving patients on imatinib therapy, more effectively than the existing scores. The ELTS score was calculated by a formula that included age at diagnosis, spleen size below costal margin, platelet count and blast percentage in peripheral blood as prognostic factors. In our study, we evaluated the ELTS score in predicting the probabilities of CML-specific death, long-term overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates in Asian CML patients treated with imatinib. As genetic differences, particularly the BCL-2 like 11 (BIM) deletion polymorphism, have been shown to confer intrinsic resistance to imatinib in East-Asian patients, we also explored the role of BIM deletion polymorphism profiling as a prognostic biomarker for CML-specific death among different risk groups stratified by the ELTS score. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on CP-CML patients treated with first-line imatinib within one year of diagnosis in Singapore General Hospital from June 2001 to November 2014. The ELTS score was obtained with online calculator at www.leukemia-net.org. Low-risk group was defined as a score ≤1.568, intermediate-risk group as a score >1.568 but ≤2.2185, and high-risk group as a score >2.2185. Progression was defined as transformation to accelerated or blast phase or death from any cause. OS and PFS were calculated with the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the log-rank test. Cumulative incidence probabilities of CML-specific death were compared by the Gray test. Findings: 134 patients were included for analysis. 63% were Chinese, 17% were Malays, 8% were Indians and 12% were of mixed ethnic origin. Median age at diagnosis was 45 years and 60% were male. Median follow-up was 7.7 years (range: 0.4 to 13.2 years). 17 deaths out of 134 patients (13%) were recorded, of which 11 were CML-specific (65%). 54% of patients were categorised as low-risk, 36% as intermediate-risk and 10% as high-risk by the ELTS score. The cumulative incidence probabilities of CML-specific death at 10 years were 43% in high-risk (hazard ratio (HR): 11.76, 95% confidence interval (CI): (2.32, 59.71), p=0.003) and 9% in intermediate-risk (HR: 2.24, 95% CI: (0.37, 13.49), p=0.38) compared to 3% in low-risk groups.10-year OS probabilities were 50%, 82% and 93% in high-, intermediate- and low-risk ELTS groups respectively (p=0.001). 10-year PFS probabilities were 50%, 84% and 89% in high-, intermediate- and low-risk ELTS groups respectively (p=0.004). Among 103 East-Asian patients with low- and intermediate-risk ELTS sub-groups, 15% harboured BIM deletion polymorphism. The probability of CML-specific death at 10 years in this subset was 16% with BIM deletion polymorphism, but 4% without polymorphism (HR 4.30, 95% CI: (0.76, 24.35), p=0.099). 10-year OS probabilities in the subset were 75% and 89% in patients with and without BIM deletion polymorphism respectively (p=0.014). Conclusions: The ELTS score was able to predict the probability of CML-specific death and identify high-risk patients in our multi-racial Asian CML patients treated with imatinib. Genetic profiling using BIM deletion polymorphism provided further stratification by identifying a subset of inferior long-term survivors with high probability of CML-specific death among otherwise non high-risk patients.

Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has an approximately 5% risk of recurrence in the central nervous system, and carries a very poor prognosis. Prophylactic intrathecal chemotherapy (ITC) with agents such as Methotrexate (MTX) can mitigate the risk of recurrence and improve survival. We report a single-institution, retrospective analysis of the effect of ITC administration on outcomes in patients with DLBCL, based on CNS-IPI risk stratification. Methods: We screened 325 DLBCL patients from our tumor registry- of these only 292 had clinical information to risk-stratify per IPI scoring- low-risk, n = 54, intermediate-risk, n = 198, and high-risk n = 40. These patients then further categorized based on the NCCN prognostic model to assess the risk of CNS disease (CNS-IPI) which includes age >60, LDH >normal, ECOG >1, Stage III or IV, Extranodal involvement >1 site, kidney or adrenal gland involvement with scores 0-1 low-risk, 2-3 intermediate-risk, and 4-6 or kidney or adrenal involvement as high-risk. The effect of ITC administration on outcomes such as overall survival (OS) at 1-year (yr) and 5-yr were calculated using univariate two-group comparisons. Results: Demographic and clinical variables include- Age >60- 61% (n=201); mostly Caucasians- 71%(n=199); Germinal Center(GC) 25%(n=73), non-GC 74%(n=212); mean IPI score-2.8(n=196), R-CHOP-87%(n=233); and, ITC in 15%(n=45). Seven patients in low-risk patients received ITC for unclear reasons. Intermediate risk patients treated with ITC showed a trend towards 90% (n=26) 1yr OS, and 67%(n=8) 5-yr survival compared to who did not receive ITC (non-ITC) who had 84%(n=127) 1-yr, and 55%(n=52) 5-yr OS (p-value 0.57 and 0.43 respectively). High-risk patients treated with ITC showed a trend towards 100%(n=3) 1-yr, and 0% 5-yr OS compared to non-ITC who had 85%(n=23) 1-yr , and 29%(n=5) 5-yr OS (p-value 1.0 and 1.0 respectively). Conclusions: Our results suggest that in DLBCL patients with the intermediate-risk group may benefit from intrathecal chemotherapy. Our study is limited owing to small sample size in each subset of CNS risk stratification- this limits the interpretation of the results, and should be interpreted cautiously given nonsignificant P-values. However, we believe these results can encourage further research to evaluate the effect of CNS prophylaxis in the intermediate-risk group of DLBCL patients.
