AbstractThe clinical risk stratification of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) relies on the International Prognostic Index (IPI) for the identification of high-risk disease. Recent studies suggest that the immune microenvironment plays a role in treatment response prediction and survival in DLBCL. This study developed a risk prediction model and evaluated the model’s biological implications in association with the estimated profiles of immune infiltration. Gene-expression profiling of 718 patients with DLBCL was done, for which RNA sequencing data and clinical covariates were obtained from Reddy et al. (2017). Using unsupervised and supervised machine learning methods to identify survival-associated gene signatures, a multivariable model of survival was constructed. Tumor-infiltrating immune cell compositions were enumerated using CIBERSORT deconvolution analysis. A four gene-signature-based score was developed that separated patients into high- and low-risk groups. The combination of the gene-expression-based score with the IPI improved the discrimination on the validation and complete sets. The gene signatures were successfully validated with the deconvolution output. Correlating the deconvolution findings with the gene signatures and risk score, CD8+ T-cells and naïve CD4+ T-cells were associated with favorable prognosis. By analyzing the gene-expression data with a systematic approach, a risk prediction model that outperforms the existing risk assessment methods was developed and validated.

Zusammenfassung. Maligne Lymphome unterteilen sich zwar in über 60 Entitäten, das grosszellige B-Zell-Lymphom, das follikuläre Lymphom, der Hodgkin und das Mantelzell-Lymphom machen aber mehr als die Hälfte aller Lymphome aus. Im revidierten Ann Arbor staging system gelten die Suffixe «A» und «B» nur noch für den Hodgkin. «E» erscheint nur noch bei Stadien I und II. Eine Knochenmarksuntersuchung wird beim Hodgkin nicht mehr verlangt, beim DLBCL (Diffuse large B cell lymphoma) nur, falls das PET keinen Knochenmark-Befall zeigt. Der PET-Untersuchung, speziell dem Interim-PET, kommt eine entscheidende Bedeutung zu. PET-gesteuerte Therapien führen zu weniger Toxizität. Gezielt wirkende Medikamente mit eindrücklicher Wirksamkeit wurden neu zugelassen. Deren Kosten sind hoch. Eine strahlen- und chemotherapiefreie Behandlung maligner Lymphome wird in Zukunft möglich sein.
