A felnőttkori non-Hodgkin-lymphoma előfordulása az elmúlt évtizedekben jelentősen nőtt. A betegcsoport nagyon heterogén, változatos klinikai és morfológiai megjelenéssel. A legjellemzőbb nodalis érintettség mellett gyakoriak az extranodalis formák, amelyek leggyakrabban a gastrointestinalis traktust, a központi idegrendszert és a bőrt érintik. A gastrointestinalis traktus non-Hodgkin-lymphomáinak kezelési stratégiája változott az elmúlt évtizedben, a kemoimmunoterápia háttérbe szorította a korábban jóval gyakrabban végzett sebészeti beavatkozásokat. Módszerek: A szerzők Kaposváron, a Kaposi Mór Oktató Kórházban és Gyulán, a Pándy Kálmán Megyei Kórházban kezelt 48, gastrointestinalis traktust érintő non-Hodgkin-lymphomás betegük adatait mutatják be. A betegek közül 27 nő és 21 férfi, átlagéletkoruk 67,8 év. A leggyakoribb lokalizáció a gyomor ( n = 26), a leggyakoribb szövettani típus diffúz nagy B-sejtes lymphoma (DLBCL) volt. A betegek rizikófaktorait a nemzetközi prognosztikai index (IPI) alapján állapították meg. Negyvenhat beteg kapott kemoimmunoterápiás kezelést, 6 esetben érintett mezős sugárkezelés, 3 esetben Helicobacter pylori -eradikáció, 4 betegnél gyomorreszekció történt. Eredmények: Az összes beteg 68%-ában sikerült komplett, 13%-ában parciális remissziót elérni, 19% nonreszponder volt. A nemzetközi prognosztikai index alapján a betegek többsége az alacsony, illetve magas intermedier rizikócsoportba tartozott (IPI-átlag: 2,68). A tápcsatorna felső szakaszát érintő lymphomás betegek prognózisa volt a legjobb (IPI: 2,0), ugyanakkor a gyomorlymphomás betegeknél volt a legmagasabb a komplett remisszió aránya (73%). Következtetés: Kemoimmunoterápiával a betegek gyógyulási esélyei javultak az elmúlt évtizedben, a gastrointestinalis traktust érintő non-Hodgkin-lymphomák jelentős hányada meggyógyítható. Az IPI a legelfogadottabb mutató a non-Hodgkin-lymphoma prognózisának megítélésére. A komplett remisszióba jutott betegek prognosztikai indexe volt a legalacsonyabb, de az IPI-n kívül egyéb tényezők is befolyásolhatják a kezelésre adott választ.

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a major public health problem with over 14.1 million people are diagnosed with it (2012). In the same year there were 8.2 million deaths due to cancer. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between clinical manifestations and the degree of malignancy based on histopathological features in patients with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. This study used a retrospective analytical method with a cross-sectional approach using the patient's medical record at RSUD Dr. Soetomo, Surabaya who was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma from 1st January 2015 to 31st December 2017. In this study, there were 139 samples include those criteria, with a greater number of male samples (62.6%) compared to women (37.4%). This study showed that 49.3% of patients with non- Hodgkin's lymphoma in RSUD Dr. Soetomo with clinical manifestations without symptoms actually experience malignancy with a high degree, this showed that clinical manifestations without symptoms are not always associated with a low level of malignancy. Then, based on the Chi Square test results obtained p-value of 0.289 (>0.05), so there was no significant relationship between clinical manifestations and the degree of malignancy.

Abstract Background The current literature is scarce as to the outcomes of COVID-19 infection in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients and whether immunosuppressive or chemotherapeutic agents can cause worsening of the patients’ condition during COVID-19 infection. Case presentation Our case is a 59-year-old gentleman who presented to the Emergency Department of the Cancer Institute of Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil on 10th May 2020 with a worsening dyspnea and chest pain which had started 3 days prior to presentation to the Emergency Department. He had a past history of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma for which he was receiving chemotherapy. Subsequent PCR testing demonstrated that our patient was SARS-CoV-2 positive. Conclusion In this report, we show a patient with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the middle of chemotherapy, presented a mild clinical course of COVID-19 infection.

AbstrakAwal abad ke-2l masyarakat Indonesia mengalami transisi epidemiologi penyakit. Perubahan pola penyakit ini dapat dilihat dari peningkatan insiden penyakit kanker sebagai penyebab kematian di Indonesia dalam 10 tahun terakhir, yaitu dari urutan ke-12 menjadi urutan ke-6. Di Indonesia, limfoma non Hodgkin (LNH) menduduki urutan keenam keganansan yang sering terjadi. Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Olivia Putri Perdana di bagian patologi anatomi Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Andalas didapatkan data bahwa pada januari 1997-desember 2001 terdapat 70 (81,39%) penderita limfoma maligna non Hodgkin dari keseluruhan penderita limfoma maligna. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan kadar laktat dehidrogenase (LDH) dengan stadium pada penderita limfoma maligna non Hodgkin. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional dengan menggunakan data yang bersumber dari rekam medik pasien. Populasi dari penelitian ini adalah data rekam medik seluruh penderita limfoma maligna non hodgkin yang berobat ke RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang yaitu 317 data rekam medik, tetapi yang memenuhi syarat untuk menjadi sampel hanya 40 data. Analisis statistik yang digunakan adalah uji T. Hasil uji statistik menunjukkan adanya hubungan kadar laktat dehidrogenase dengan stadium pada penderita limfoma non Hodgkin (P = 0,001). Diketahui nilai laktat dehidrogenase pada stadium III-IV lebih tinggi daripada nilai laktat dehidrogenase pada stadium I-II.Kata kunci: Laktat dehidrogenase, Limfoma maligna non Hodgkin, Stadium AbstractEarly 21th century, Indonesian society in transition epidemiology of the disease. Changing patterns of disease can be seen from the increased incidence of cancer as a cause of death in Indonesia in the last 10 years, ie from 12th to 6th order. In Indonesia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) ranks sixt frequent in all of cancer. Based on research conducted by Olivia Putri Perdana in anatomic pathology at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Andalas that the data obtained during the January 1997 - December 2001 there were 70 (81.39%) patients with non -Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma of the overall malignant lymphoma patients.This study aims to determine the relationship of levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) with stage of non -Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma patients.This research is a cross sectional analytic approach using data derived from patient medical records. The population is the entire medical record malignant non Hodgkin lymphoma patients who went to DR. M. Djamil Padang hospital, they are 317 medical records, but are eligible to be sampled only 40 data. Statistical analysis used is the T test.Statistical test results show that there is relationship between lactate dehydrogenase levels with stage in non -Hodgkin's lymphoma patients (P = 0.001). Known value of lactate dehydrogenase in stage III - IV is higher than the value of lactate dehidrodenase in stage I - II.Keywords: Lactate dehydrogenase, malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Stage

Aims and background The study assessed the role and potential benefit of rhG-CSF in reducing the frequency, duration and severity of neutropenia following cytotoxic chemotherapy according to the E-SHAP protocol and, at the same time in improving the response rate. Methods Twenty patients with resistant/relapsed intermediate or high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were treated with the E-SHAP regimen (etoposide + methyl prednisolone + high dose cytosine arabinoside and cisplatin), and in 15 of them, we administered rhG-CSF between chemotherapeutic courses. Results The 15 patients who received G-CSF after E-SHAP were neutropenic for a short time and experienced no febrile episodes or infective complications. In contrast, in the group (5 patients) who did not receive G-CSF, the WBC nadir was lower and the number of days with a neutrophil count below 1.0 × 109/L was longer, with a greater risk of inferctious complications. Of the 15 patients, only one had a delay in chemotherapy administration, and the RDI was 95% in the 65% of patients who received G-CSF. Of 5 patients treated with chemotherapy alone, 4 had a delay and the RDI was over 95% in only one patient. We obtained a good overall response rate (70%) in the group who received G-CSF. In the historical group of 5 non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients, we observed only 1 partial response and 4 had progression of disease. Conclusions Administration of G-CSF is associated with an acceleration of neutrophil recovery, indicating its potential to reduce the risk of infection. The use of G-CSF permitted us to administer intensive chemotherapy without delay and according to standard dosage, with an improved response rate.

Purpose Preliminary results using rituximab in extranodal marginal zone (MALT) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) patients seem to indicate a relevant clinical activity. Aim of the present study is to investigate the efficacy of conventional weekly treatment using rituximab in gastric MALT NHL patients resistant/refractory or not suitable for eradication treatment, and to evaluate the relevance of the t(11; 18)(q21; q21) translocation and its possible role as a predictive criteria of response. Patients and Methods Twenty-seven patients presenting with gastric MALT NHL at any stage, relapsed/refractory to initial treatment or not suitable for eradication were treated with rituximab in a weekly conventional schedule and evaluated for response and relapse. Flourescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis for the presence of 18q21 translocation was performed in 21 patients and was evaluated with clinical outcome. Results Among the 26 evaluated patients, 20 (77%) achieved an objective response. Twelve patients (46%) had a pathological and clinical complete remission, and eight (31%) had a partial response. With a median follow-up of 33 months, only two patients relapsed at 26 and 14 months, respectively. No correlation was founded between FISH analysis and response or relapse. Conclusion Our experience seems to confirm the clinical activity of rituximab in gastric MALT NHL patients resistant/refractory to antibiotics treatment or not presenting with clinical evidence of Helicobacter pylori infection. The t(11; 18)(q21; q21) translocation seems not to be a predictive marker to response or to subsequent relapse.
