    Abstract: The treatment strategy for gastric diffuse large cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has not been standardized in such as to the cycles of chemotherapy, dose of radiation, or necessity for the surgery. Although the results of CHOP or R-CHOP treatments have demonstrated the good prognosis, the treatments have been controversial in many cases. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 40 gastric DLBCL patients receiving chemotherapy with or without radiation in our institute. Those in stages II-IV were treated with six cycles of R-CHOP without radiation; for those in stage I, we administered three cycles of R-CHOP with radiation. Results The three-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 95.2 and 91.8%, respectively. Those in stage I obtained 100% of OS. The radiation dose prescribed was 30.6 Gy for CR cases and 39.6 to 40 Gy for PR after chemotherapy. Although survival rates tended to correlate with staging groups or age-adjusted IPI classifications, multivariate statistical analysis did not show clear differences. All 14 patients with initial bleeding were successfully managed without surgery during treatment. Conclusion R-CHOP therapy was very effective for gastric DLBCL. It may be not necessary to use more than 30.6 Gy of radiotherapy in the highly chemo-sensitive cases. Less toxic treatments should be made available to gastric DLBCL patients.

    Abstract: BACKGROUNDS: Extranodal natural killer (NK) /T cell lymphoma, nasal type is much common in East Asia than in Western countries. CHOP therapy is not effective for NK/T cell lymphoma because of the drug resistance induced by P glycoprotein. Yamaguchi et al reported the effectiveness of concurrent radiotherapy and DeVIC (RT-DeVIC) therapy for localized nasal NK/T cell lymphoma. Nowadays, RT-DeVIC therapy is recognized as a standard treatment. So far, we have limited information about this treatment because NK/T cell lymphoma is rare phenotype. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We reviewed retrospectively the patients with localized NK/T cell lymphoma treated with RT-DeVIC therapy. Radiation therapy was administered for a total dose of 50 Gy. Concurrently, chemotherapy with dexamethasone, etoposide, ifosfamide, and carboplatin (DeVIC) was performed up to 3 cycles. The primary objectives of this analysis were to evaluate the response rates and progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS: A total of 20 patients who diagnosed as nasal NK/T cell lymphoma between April 2007 and October 2012 were analyzed. Sixteen patients were stage 1E and 4 were Stage 2E. As the NK/T cell lymphoma prognostic index, 6 patients were group 1, 10 were group 2, 3 were group 3, and 1 was group 4. Seventeen patients completed 3 cycles of DeVIC therapy and 19 patients completed planned radiation therapy. Overall response rate (ORR) was 75% and CR rate was 70% in the entire patients. Local control was 90%. Half of the patients who reached CR showed long time survival without disease progression. On the other hand, 7 of 14 patients relapsed after CR, and all 5 patients experienced systemic failure. The sites of relapse were paranasal sinuses (n=2), skin (n=3), brain (n=1), testis (n=1). Among them, one patient reached 2nd CR. However, 5 patients were not eligible for salvage chemotherapy, because lymphoma progressed rapidly and their general condition became worse. Six patients did not reach CR after RT-DeVIC therapy. Five of them experienced systemic relapse and median survival of them was only 8 months. The median follow up time was 17.6 months (range 2 – 77.9 months). Median overall survival was not reached and median progression free survival was 14.6 months. Risk factors predicted of OS or PFS were not clear. All entire patients experienced grade 3 or 4 neutropenia. Mucositis was common non-hematological toxicity and it was the major cause of grade 3 or 4 appetite loss. Only one patient discontinued RT-DeVIC due to grade 3 mucositis, grade 3 dermatitis and septic shock. CONCLUSION: We reviewed treatment outcomes of 20 cases of RT-DeVIC therapy. In this analysis, the majority of relapsed or refractory cases showed systemic disease and the prognosis of these patients were poor. However, RT-DeVIC therapy showed excellent local control and response rates which were similar to the prior study. The effectiveness of RT-DeVIC therapy for patients with NK/T cell lymphoma was reconfirmed. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

    Abstract: Introduction The international prognostic index (IPI) was a most common prognostic score in patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Therefore, rituximab improved OS in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), revised IPI (R-IPI) was suggested. Although, the 5-year OS is higher than 50% in patients of high risk R-IPI. National Comprehensive Cancer Network published an enhanced IPI (NCCN-IPI) for improving risk stratification. However, NCCN-IPI didn't enough evaluate clinical and disease characteristics, for example beta-2-microglobulin (B2MG), cell of origin, albumin, soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R). Aim of this study is to evaluate clinical and disease prognostic factor in patients with DLBCL. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 647 patients who were newly diagnosed de novo DLBCL and treated with R-CHOP in our hospital from January 2005 to December 2016. We excluded primary central nervous system lymphoma and transformed from low grade B-cell lymphoma. Median follow-up time is 58.5 months (range; 2-160 months.). We collected data of blood and imaging test before chemotherapy. The patient's baseline clinical and disease characteristics included age, Ann Arbor stage, serum albumin, bulky, B symptoms (defined as recurrent fever, night sweats, or 〉 10% weight loss), B2MG, cell of origin, cluster of differentiation (CD) 5 positive, serum C-reactive protein (CRP), ECOG performance status (PS), ferritin, gender, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), sIL-2R, monocyte, number and site of involvement extranodal. We evaluate over 60-years old, advance stage (Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ) and more than PS 2. We defined the cut-off value of B2MG, CRP, ferritin, sIL-2R, monocyte and albumin by using receiver operating characteristic curves. LDH was over the upper limit of normal. Cell of origin was classified by Hans' algorithm. CD 5 was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. The univariate analyses of between factors and OS was used in univariate of log-rank test. And the multivariate analysis was used cox proportional hazards regression analysis. Results The patient's median age was 65 years old (range 17-90 years old.). The cut-off value of B2MG is ≧2.23 mg/L, CRP is ≧0.4 mg/dl, ferritin is ≦250 ng/ml, sIL2-R is ≧1000 U/mL, monocyte is ≧608 /μL and serum albumin is ≦3.4 g/dl. In the result of univariate analysis, age, stage, albumin, B symptoms, B2MG, CD5, CRP, PS, ferritin, LDH, sIL-2R, monocyte, nonGCB, the number of extranodal sites ( 〉 1) and the involvement of bonemarrow, liver, lung, muscle, skin and pancreas affected OS. In multivariate analysis, the worse prognostic factors were age (Hazard ratio (HR) 2.13, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.27-3.57, p 〈 0.01), albumin (HR 1.59, 95% CI 1.01-2.51, =0.047), B2MG (HR 1.86, 95% CI 1.18-2.93, p 〈 0.01), PS (HR 2.01, 95% CI 1.22-3.33, p 〈 0.01), sIL-2R (HR 1.75, 95% CI 1.11-2.76, p=0.016), pancreas (HR 4.43, 95% CI 1.75-11.22, p 〈 0.01) and skin (HR 1.94, 95% CI 1.11-3.39, p=0.021). Albumin, B2MG and sIL-2R weren't included prognostic score of IPI, R-IPI and NCCN-IPI. In order to validate we developed prognostic score consisting of 5 factors (age, PS, B2MG, sIL-2R and albumin). And compared with NCCN-IPI in our data. We categorized patients into 4 risk groups: low (0 factor), low-intermediate (1 factor), high-intermediate (2 or 3 factors), high (4 or 5 factors). The low risk of 5-year OS was 91.5%, low-intermediate risk was 86.2%, high-intermediate risk was 72.3% and high risk was 37.4%. The low risk of NCCN-IPI was 95.1%, low-intermediate was 86.2%, high-intermediate was 68.8% and high was 50.6%. The absolute difference in the 5-year OS between low and high risk groups was 54.1% with our study prognostic score compared with 44.5% with NCCN-IPI in our study. Conclusions Our study suggest that B2MG, sIL-2R and serum albumin are significant prognostic factors in patients with DLBCL in the rituximab era. Figure. Figure.

    Abstract: 〈 Introduction 〉 The transformation of indolent lymphoma is biologic event leading to aggressive lymphoma status. As same de-novo diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the outcome of DLBCL with transformation has improved by the use of rituximab contained therapy. However, the effects of rituximab maintenance for DLBCL with transformation remain unknown. We performed a retrospective analysis to evaluate the efficacy of rituximab maintenance for DLBCL with transformation. 〈 Patients and Methods 〉 We studied patients newly diagnosed as transformed DLBCL from March 2005 to November 2017 in our institution. The pathological diagnosis was performed based on morphological and immunohistochemical analyses. Transformed DLBCL was defined in our study as a coexistence with components of follicular lymphoma (FL) or MALT lymphoma and DLBCL in a biopsied tissue at the diagnosis. Almost all patients were treated with R-CHOP chemotherapy (2 were treated by radiation with or without rituximab therapy, one was R-ICE chemotherapy). 15 patients received rituximab maintenance therapy for two years after achieving good PR or more by first therapy. PET-CT was used to evaluate the stage at the diagnosis and the response after therapy. The statistical analyses of characteristics of patients were performed by Fisher's exact test. The survivals were calculated by the Kaplan Meier method, and statistical analysis were performed by log rank test. Factors affecting OS and PFS were evaluated using Cox proportional hazard model. 〈 Results 〉 We analyzed 52 transformed patients. Median age was 64 years old (range 43-87), 35 patients were male (67%) and 17 were female (33%), 44 (84%) were transformed from FL and 8 (16%) were from MALT lymphoma. Germinal center B cell (GCB) type were 35 (67%) and activated B cell (ABC) were 16 (30%). An ECOG performance status (PS) ≧2 was only 1 patient (1.9%). 3 (5.7%) had B symptoms, 16 (30%) had LDH ≧ULN, 28 (53%) had stage of Ⅲ or Ⅳ, 5 (9.6%) had bone marrow invasion, 13 (25%) had IPI score ≧3, and 26 (50%) had one or more extranodal diseases. There were no significant differences in characteristics between rituximab maintenance group and no maintenance group. After induction therapy, CR was achieved in 48 (92%) and PR was 4 (8%). With a median follow up of 66 months (range 7-143), 5-year OS and 5-year PFS were 95.6% (range 83.3-98.9) and 71.7% (range 55.4-83.0) respectively. There were not statistically significant in OS and PFS between the rituximab maintenance group and the observation group (5-year OS: 100% vs 93.6%, p=0.0895, 5-year PFS: 100% vs 65.7%, p=0.0792). However, subgroup analyses showed that rituximab maintenance group was significantly superior to no maintenance group in PFS in the cases of stage III or more (5-year PFS 100% vs 30.7%, p=0.0137), males (100% vs 56.7%, p=0.0436), and GCB type (100% vs 60.0%, p=0.029). The rituximab maintenance (P=0.0356: HR 0.20; 95% CI 0.046-0.899) was indicated as the clinical parameters related to PFS by multivariate analysis. 〈 Discussion and Conclusion 〉 Generally, DLBCL with transformation have poor prognosis. There are several previous reports about rituximab maintenance for patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma, which concluded that rituximab maintenance in first remission didn't provide an advantage to OS and PFS. NHL 13 trial demonstrated statistical benefit of rituximab maintenance for males and low IPI group. Regard to transformed lymphoma, the study for maintenance of rituximab was really few. Hany R et al reported the outcome of patients with transformation that rituximab maintenance post R-CHOP and the number of maintenance rituximab cycles were associated with better PFS. Our data provided that rituximab maintenance was effective in transformed DLBCL with regard to prolonged PFS in subgroups of progressive stage, men, and GCB. In conclusion, from our study it was suggested that rituximab maintenance therapy have possible to improve outcomes for DLBCL with transformation.

    Abstract: Introduction Tumors deregulate immunological antitumor response, resulting in survival of tumor cells, which implicate the existence of immunological tolerance to tumors.CD4+ T cells activate tumor-specific cytotoxic CD8+ T cells via cytokines and they also can eliminate cancer in the absence of CD8+ T cell. Absolute CD4+ T-cell count(ACD4C)in biopsied specimen is known to correlate with therapeutic outcomes in DLBCL. In patients with solid cancer, CD4+ T cells decrease in the peripheral blood, whereas regulatory T cells (Tregs) increase in the peripheral blood.Tregshave a role to reduce antibody dependent cellular toxicity (ADCC) of rituximab against CD20+ B-cell malignancies. On the other hand,we and othersknow that absolute lymphocyte count in peripheral blood can predict survival of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). It has been indefinite, however, which lymphocyte including CD4+ T cells in peripheral blood reflect the prognosis of DLBCL. Method We enrolled patients who were diagnosed with de novo DLBCL from 2006 until 2013, received R-CHOP, and followed up at Cancer Institute Hospital, Tokyo, Japan. We had measured absolute lymphocyte count, T-cell ratio, CD4+ T-cell ratio, and CD8+ T-cell ratio in these patients using pretreatment blood samples. Data were collected prospectively and recorded into a computerized database. All patientsgave written informed consent allowing the use of their medical record. The optimal cut-off values were made based on its utility as a marker for death using box plot, clinical important value from references, and receiver operating characteristic curve. Differences between the results of comparative tests were considered significant if the two-sided P value was less than 0.05. Results A total of 355 patients were diagnosed with de novo DLBCL.Baseline characteristics were following: median age was 65 (range 20-89), Patients aged over 60 were 243 (68%), male to female ratio was 1.2, ECOG PS ≥ 2 of 19 (5%), elevated LDH of 152 (43%), low ACD4C ( 〈 350 x 106 /l) of 119 (34%), low ACD8C ( 〈 300 x 106 /l) of 144 (41%), CD5+ DLBCL of 38 (11%), Ann Arbor stage III/IV of 145 (41%), and involved extranodal sites ≥ 2 of 93 (26%). Germinal center B cell (GCB) DLBCL was seen in 167 (53%), non-GCB DLBCL was seen in 148 (47%). Patients without evidence of death (n = 282) at last follow-up had a higher ACD4C (≥ 350 x 106 /l) at diagnosis than those with death (n = 73) (P 〈 0.0001). There was also markedly difference in absolute CD8+ T-cell count, but no difference in absolute B-cell count. At the median follow-up of 57 months, Kaplan-Meier method estimated that 5-year PFS was 78.1% in the high ACD4C group and 62.0% in the low ACD4C group (Figure 1A, log-rank P 〈 0.001), whereas 67.4% in the high ACD8C group and 41.6% in the low ACD8C group (P = 0.01). Furthermore, 5-year OS was 83.6% in the high ACD4C group and 64.5% in the low ACD4C group (Figure 1B, log-rank P 〈 0.001), whereas 56.2% in the high ACD8C group and 36.1% in the low ACD8C group (P 〈 0.01). An ACD4C 〈 350 x 106 /l was identified as an adverse prognostic marker in DLBCL by Cox hazard model (hazard ratio 1.9, P = 0.01). In addition, CD5+ DLBCL, PS ≥ 2, stage III/IV, and non-GCB DLBCL were identified as low ACD4C. Age 〉 60, extranodal diseases ≥ 2, and elevated LDH were not identified in this study. ACD4C had negative correlation with tumor burden, which was shown by Pearsonfs coefficient (correlation with LDH; r = -0.24, P 〈 0.0001) and Studentfs t-test (correlation with stage; P 〈 0.0001). Interestingly, low ACD4C affected OS only in the stage III/IV, non-GCB DLBCL, and high-IPI groups (fisherfs exact test P 〈 0.01). Baseline characteristics of the low ACD4C group showed higher rate of stage III/IV (P 〈 0.001), elevated LDH (P 〈 0.01), extranodal disease ≥ 2 (P 〈 0.001), soluble IL-2 receptor 〉 2000 U/l (P 〈 0.001), low serum albumin (P = 0.001), and beta2 microglobulin 〉 2 mg/dl (P 〈 0.001). Conclusion This study demonstrates that ACD4C had a negative correlation with tumor burden and low ACD4C at diagnosis made worse prognosis of patients with DLBCL, in particular, those who had high tumor burden, non-GCB, or high IPI at diagnosis, suggestingTregsmight increase in peripheral blood in the low ACD4C group and might impair the ADCC of rituximab.

    Abstract: Introduction: Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are clonal hematopoietic neoplasms characterized by abnormal maturation of precursor cells which often translates into peripheral blood cytopenias and a high rate of transformation to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) due to accumulation of genetic alterations. The AZA-001 trial showed azacitidine (AZA) significantly prolonged median overall survival compared with conventional care regimens (24.5 vs 15.0 months; P=0.0001). AZA is standard first-line treatment for Intermediate-2 and High-risk myelodysplastic syndrome patients who are not immediate candidates for allogeneic stem cell transplantation, but this study included no cases of therapy related MDS (t-MDS). T-MDS is known to have poor prognosis, therefore it is very important to analyze the outcome of patients with t-MDS treated in the front-line with AZA. Methods: We studied newly diagnosed 29 MDS patients who were treated by AZA in our hospital from July, 2010 to April, 2016, retrospectively. AZA was given subcutaneously at 75 mg/㎡per day for 5 or 7 days every 28 days. Results: We analyzed 29 MDS patients. According to the WHO classification, there were 12 RA, 15 RCMD, 10 RAEB-1, 2 RAEB 2 and 1 MDS-U. The median age was 70 year (range 49-88), and men was 12 (41.3%). There were 12 de novoMDS cases (41.3%) and 17 t-MDS cases (58.6%). All of the t-MDS patients had previously received chemotherapy (17 patients, 100%) and 9 patients had also received radiotherapy (9 patients, 53%). Very poor risk group was 47.1% (9/17) in t-MDS group compared to 25.0% (3/12) in de novo MDS group (P=0.26). Median follow up time was 11.4 months (range 1.4-47.8). Twenty five patients (86.3%) were treated by AZA for 5 days. Four patients (13.7%) were treated by AZA for 7 days, but all 4 patients decreased the dosing period to 5 days due to unacceptable toxicity. AZA was given for a median of 4 cycles (range 1-33). In 29 MDS patients, 1-year overall survival (OS) was 60.5% (95% CI, 38.7-76.7%) and 1-year PFS was 40.1% (95% CI, 18.8-60.6%). After a median follow-up of 11.4 months, median OS was 18.7 months (95% CI, 9.4-21). One-year OS was 59.3% in t-MDS group compared to 63.6% in de novo MDS group (P=0.294). 1-year PFS was 38.4% in t-MDS group compared to 40.4% in de novo MDS group (P=0.626). One-year OS was 37.5% in very poor risk karyotype group (R-IPSS) compared to 74.6% in not very poor risk karyotype group (P=0.000748). 1-year PFS was 43.2% in very poor risk karyotype group compared to 39.0% in not very poor risk karyotype group (P=0.594). Focusing on t-MDS group, 1-year OS was 46.9% in very poor risk karyotype group (8/17 47%) compared to 74.1% in not very poor risk karyotype group (9/17 53%) (P=0.054). 1-year PFS was 48.0% in very poor risk karyotype group compared to 26.0% in not very poor risk karyotype group (P=0.339). Conclusions: In our study, 1-year OS in all MDS patients was 60.5%. It was slightly poor prognosis than 1-year OS in AZA-001 trial (about 70%). Our study include t-MDS cases (58.6%). Additionally, AZA was given for a median of 4 cycles in our study but 6 cycles in the AZA-001 trial. It showed severe patient's background of our study. These difference may cause the lower median OS and poorer prognosis. There trended to be more patients who had very poor risk karyotype in t-MDS group, but there was no significant difference between t-MDS and de novoMDS for the 1-year OS and PFS. Azacitidin is effective in the therapy related myelodysplastic syndrome. Disclosures Yokoyama: Chugai: Consultancy. Mishima:Chugai: Consultancy. Nishimura:Chugai: Consultancy.

    Abstract: Introduction Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5 percent of NHLs. Most patients with MCL are 60 years of age and older. The prognosis of patients with MCL is moderately aggressive and variable; the median overall survival is 3-5years. MCL international prognostic index(MIPI)is related to prognosis of the patients with MCL, however, it is unclear whether MIPI predicts outcomes of MCL over sixties. Out therapeutic strategy in elderly patients with newly diagnostic MCL is not high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation. Instead of aggressive chemotherapy, Rituximab maintenance is considered as an effective and feasible option. Thus, we investigated whether MCL international prognostic index (MIPI) relates overall survival (OS) or progression free survival (PFS), and whether maintenance therapy with Rituximab improved OS or PFS in patients with newly diagnosed MCL patients 60 and older. Methods We analyzed retrospectively 60 years of age and older patients with MCL who have achieved complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) after induction chemotherapy with rituximab at our hospital from December 2005 to February 2015. Two of primary refractory patients were excluded because analysis is for patients who are eligible for rituximab maintenance therapy. The patients were diagnosed by hematopathologist in our hospital. According to the MIPI, patients were stratified into low risk (0 patients, 0%), intermediate risk (9 patients, 41%), and high risk (13 patients, 59 %). Induction chemotherapy regimens were six cycles of R-CHOP (rituximab-cyclophosphamide-doxorubicin-vincristine-prednisone), four cycle of R-hyper CVAD/MA (rituximab-cyclophosphamide-vincristine-doxorubicin-dexamethasone alternating with rituximab-methotrexate-cytarabine), six cycles of R-CVP (rituximab- cyclophosphamide-vincristine-predonisone), R-VP16 (rituximab-etoposide), or six cycles of VR-CAP (bortezomib-rituximab-cyclophosphamide-doxorubicin- predonisone). Rituximab maintenance therapy started 6 months after the last induction chemotherapy and underwent four weekly infusion every 6 months for 2 years. Results A total of 22 MCL patients were analyzed. The number of patients who had achieved CR was 14 and PR was 8. 14 of 22 patients were treated rituximab maintenance. Median age was 73 years old. MIPI could predict OS of MCL. 3-year-OS was significantly superior intermediate risk to MIPI high risk (3-years-OS: 87.5 %vs.51.9 %,p=0.0232), whereas PFS didn't have correlation with MIPI(3-years PFS70.0 %vs.38.5 %,p=0.136). 3-years OS was significantly superior maintenance group to no maintenance group (3-years survival rate 91.7 % vs. 25.0 %, p=0.00188, figure 1), and 3-years PFS tend to improve in the maintenance group (3-years PFS, 65.8 % vs.25.0 %, p=0.0773, figure 2). Conclusion: In this study, MIPI correlates with OS, however doesn't show with PFS. Rituximab maintenance therapy is effective, and prolongs OS for 60 years of age and older patients with MCL.

    Abstract: Abstract 2815 Backgrounds: Next to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma, extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) is the third most common subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Their clinical course usually is indolent with long-progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Because it can involve many sites throughout the body, a patient of MALT lymphoma is often treated by different strategies, radiation therapy, surgery, or chemotherapy. The aims of study are to assess the clinical characteristics and treatment results of this one of the most common lymphoma and to analyze the prognostic factors. Patients and Methods: Ninety-eight patients with MALT lymphoma consecutively diagnosed by an expert hematopathologist from March 2001 to October 2008 were reviewed retrospectively. They all underwent standarlized staging program in our hospital. Majority of the patients had localized disease. Comparisons were performed between patients with gastric and non-gastric MALT lymphoma. Prognostic significance of various factors for PFS was examined. Statistical analyses of PFS and OS were calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimators. Comparison among categories was performed by means of log-rank test. Using Cox proportional hazards regression analysis, multivariate analysis was performed about estimated risk factors. Results: Patients were 48 males and 50 females. Median age was 62 years old (range 26 to 85 years old). Only 17 patients had advanced diseases. 52 had the primary site located in the stomach, and 22 had in the orbit, and 8 had in the salivary grand. Ninety-three patients received some treatment, including radiation, chemotherapy and surgery. Mainly, localized gastric lymphoma and non-gastric lymphoma were performed eradication of Helicobacter Pylori and the radiation therapy respectively. All but two patients with disseminated diseases treated with rituximab-combined chemotherapy. The response rate of the initial treatment was 94%, and the CR rate was 76%. After a median follow-up time of 40 months (range 1 to 109 months), 3-years OS and PFS were 100% and 89%, respectively. 3-year PFS for localized disease and advanced disease were 94% and 73%, respectively. 3-years PFS was 95% for gastric MALT lymphoma and 82% for non-gastric lymphoma. All of the patients with localized gastric MALT lymphoma were progression-free at three years after the treatment. Adverse prognostic factors for PFS were non-gastric lymphoma and disseminated disease. In a multivariate analysis, shorter PFS was associated with non-gastric lymphoma. Discussion: Our analysis indicates that MALT lymphoma is an indolent disease with long survival, but patients with non-gastric lymphoma and advanced diseases were prone to have worse prognosis. H.pilori eradication was an effective first-line treatment for the localized gastric MALT lymphoma and leads to a favorable long term out-come. Rituximab-combined chemotherapy was effective even though for advanced disease. In this rituximab era, clinical course of this indolent lymphoma may become much better. However, the therapeutic strategy of MALT lymphoma is still controversial. We need to assess and clear up which is the best. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

    Abstract: Abstract 2814 Background: Central nervous system (CNS) relapse is considered an infrequent but severe, nearly fatal complication of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) following initial chemotherapy. Intrathecal (IT) prophylaxis cannot be recommended for all DLBCL patients because of the low probability of CNS relapse. Rituximab (R) added to CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) has been reported as likely to reduce the frequency of CNS relapse in patients with DLBCL, however, the efficacy of rituximab on the prognosis of CNS relapse compared with those who relapsed at other sites and predictive factors for CNS relapse in patients treated with rituximab contained chemotherapy remain unclear. The main objective was to determine the high-risk patients who need IT prophylaxis and the outcomes of CNS relapse compared with relapse on other sites. Patients and Methods: Diffuse large B cell lymphoma patients treated with rituximab contained CHOP regimen with or without radiotherapy and IT prophylaxis at Cancer Institute Hospital of JFCR between October 2003 and December 2006 were analyzed retrospectively. CNS relapse was defined as leptomeningeal, brain parenchymal, or intradural involvement with lymphoma, based on radiological findings or the presence of malignant lymphoma cells in spinal fluid. Results: A total number of 137 patients were identified. IT prophylaxis was administered in 13 of 137 patients (9.48%) depending on the sites of lymphoma involvement, such as bone marrow involvement, testis, paranasal sinuses. 17 of 137 patients (12.4%) underwent radiotherapy after chemotherapy because of early stage or their residual disease. With a median follow-up period of 4.4 years, 9 patients had experienced CNS relapse (6.7%: 3.0–12.1, 95%CI) among 30 documented relapses, with 9 presenting with nodal relapse alone and 21 presenting with extranodal relapse including CNS. IT prophylaxis and the addition of radiotherapy did not affect the frequency of CNS relapse (P=0.6 and 0.26). Median time to CNS relapse was 20 months. Overall survival (OS) was significantly inferior in CNS relapse patients to other-sites relapse patients, (median OS, 61 months vs. did not occur; P =.042). Nevertheless, OS was not significantly different between patients with CNS relapse or at other sites. In univariate analysis, factors associated with CNS relapse (P 〈 0.05) included age over 65 years and serum levels of soluble IL-2 receptors (sIL-2R) ≧10 ULN (upper limit of normal) but not sex, PS ≧3, stage ≧4, B symptom, bulky mass, elevated LDH 〉 2 ULN, elevated MIB1 index ≧90%, poor revised-international prognostic index (R-IPI), extranodal sites ≧2, or type of GC or non-GC. Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified increased serum levels of (sIL-2R) (P =0.037) as an independent predictive factor for CNS relapse (P=0.04, HR=7.02: 95%CI=1.87-26.22). Five of 9 CNS relapse patients were still alive with the combination treatment of whole brain irradiation, systemic chemotherapy (R- dexamethasone, cisplatin, cytarabine) and intrathecal chemotherapy. Conclusions: The incidence rate of CNS relapse in 137 DLBCL patients treated with R-CHOP, CEOP regimens may be lower than with CHOP in agreement with previous studies. Furthermore, rituximab may improve OS after CNS relapse. Ten times increased serum s-IL2R is a potential independent risk factor for CNS relapse and should be included in the IT prophylaxis indication in patients with DLBCL. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
