<p><strong>Introduction:</strong> Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma can be cured in 60% – 70% of patients. Autologous stem cell transplantation is the standard treatment for relapsed disease. This high-intensity treatment after first complete remission in patients with high International Prognostic Index remains controversial and was performed in our department during some years. <br /><strong>Material and Methods:</strong> Retrospective study, review of clinical records. <br /><strong>Results:</strong> This study evaluates the outcome of 113 patients transplanted between 1992 and 2012. Considering status before transplantation patients were divided in groups: a) first complete remission after 1 line of chemotherapy (n = 64); b) first complete remission after ≥ two chemotherapy lines (n = 15); c) second complete remission (n = 15); d) more advanced diseased (n = 19). Chemotherapy used in first line therapy was mainly R-CHOP (n = 71) and CHOP (n = 28). The median follow-up of patients still alive was 34 months (1 - 221). At five years, overall survival was 73% (± 5) and disease free survival was 75% (± 5).<br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Conventional chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant is a safe and efficient option for selected patients. In our series 70% high-risk patients were free from disease with this strategy.</p>

Although immunotherapy is a potential strategy to resist cancers, due to the inadequate acknowledge, this treatment is not always effective for diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. Based on the current situation, it is critical to systematically investigate the immune pattern. According to the result of univariate and multivariate cox proportional hazards, LASSO regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis on immune-related genes (IRGs), a prognostic signature, containing 14 IRGs (AQP9, LMBR1L, FGF20, TANK, CRP, ORM1, JAK1, BACH2, MTCP1, IFITM1, TNFSF10, FGF12, RFX5, and LAP3), was built. This model was validated by external data, and performed well. DLBCL patients were divided into low- and high-risk groups, according to risk scores from risk formula. The results of CIBERSORT showed that different immune status and infiltration pattern were observed in these two groups. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) indicated 12 signaling pathways were significantly enriched in the high-risk group, such as natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity, toll-like receptor signaling pathway, and so on. In summary, 14 clinically significant IRGs were screened to build a risk score formula. This formula was an accurate tool to provide a certain basis for the treatment of DLBCL patients.

Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) is an uncommon, but aggressive, type of B-cell lymphoma. Patients with relapsed refractory PMBCL (rrPMBCL) have limited therapeutic options and usually have a relatively poor outcome. Immune checkpoint blockade has become a potential treatment for this disease. We report here a case of a female patient with rrPMBCL who was treated with nivolumab plus gemcitabine, dexamethasone, and cisplatin (GDP) chemotherapy. Complete remission was achieved after four cycles of combined therapy. With continued nivolumab maintenance monotherapy, she has remained in complete remission for longer than 28 months. This is the first report of nivolumab plus GDP chemotherapy inducing complete remission in patient with rrPMBCL. This case supplements the limited literature and provides implications for clinical trial designs regarding the potential use of nivolumab in the treatment of rrPMBCL.
