Abstract Background: Spinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a rare and malignant tumor, while few studies researched the prognostic factors. The prognostic factors which impacts on spinal DLBCL are 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.

Abstract Abstract 3651 Introduction: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of lymphoma accounting for 35–40%. Since the 1990s, The International Prognostic Index (IPI) has served as useful tool in daily treatment decision algorithm and in the design of clinical trials. In the last decade, improvement of overall survival (OS) has been demonstrated with R-CHOP-like regimens. In addition, the median life expectancy has increased substantially since the 1980'ies and more intensive treatment options like autologous BMT are performed successful up to 70 years of age. Thus, prognostic factors, including age, are susceptible to change over time. Material and methods: Patients with DLBCL diagnosed in the period 2000–2010 treated with Rituximab and CHOP-like chemotherapy were extracted from the Danish population-based Lymphoma Registry that covers > 97% of Danish lymphoma patients. Clinical and laboratory data at time of diagnosis were analysed, leaving out factors with < 75% completeness. Patients with transformed lymphoma, CNS involvement and HIV+ patients were excluded from the analysis. Results: 1990 patients (M:F ratio 1.26) were extracted from the LYFO database. The median age was 65 years, median follow-up was 54 months. Overall median survival was 9.7 years, with a 5 year OS of 65%. Analysis of age using 60, 65, 70, 75 years as cut-off, revealed 70 years as the optimal cut-point. Univariate analysis was performed including age, gender, stage, performance status, extranodal disease, LDH, albumin, immunoglobulin G, bulky disease, lymphocytes and haemoglobin. Only significant factors were included in a Cox proportional hazards model. Results for the entire patient cohort are shown in table I, and for patients <= 70 years in Table II. Survival analysis of patients with 0–1, 2–3 and 4–6 risk factors showed 5-year survival values of 90%, 71% and 45% respectively (left figure). For patients <= 70 years, the corresponding values were 90%, 81% and 62%, respectively (right figure). Conclusion: Two decades after the introduction of the IPI, age, performance status and LDH are still some of the most powerful prognostic factors in DLBCL. Age cut-off at 70 years is meaningful in reflecting clinical practice and, in our analysis, albumin and IgG added significant prognostic importance. In addition, for patients younger than 70 years, male gender is an adverse prognostic factor. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

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.

The aim of this study is to explore the expression of osteopontin (OPN) and its relationship with prognostic factors and survival in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). A tissue microarray was performed for immunohistochemical evaluation. Contingency tables were analyzed for trends; chi-square test was used to determine differences between groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards-regression analyses were performed to evaluate the impact of prognostic factors on survival. Expression of OPN was observed in 28%. It was different in non-germinal center DLBCL (P=0.04). The mean overall survival (OS) was lower in patients with positive OPN expression (19.762; CI 95% 14.269-25.255) it was not significant (P=0.123). It is not possible to establish a clear relationship between the expression by immunohistochemistry of osteopontin and a poor prognosis but it would be important to complement the analysis with other techniques as PCR or NGS that allow us to assess the influence of the isoforms and post-translational modifications of OPN on the biological behavior of DLBCL. Our findings indicate that OPN expression could be associated with a more aggressive variant of lymphoma: non-germinal center DLBCL.
