The cytologic samples of 84 non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, classified according to the Rappaport system, were reviewed, with particular attention to the cell pattern, the size of the cells and other morphologic characteristics. The analysis revealed that: (1) the subgroups of malignant lymphoma in the Rappaport classification display a heterogeneous cytologic picture; (2) cytology cannot make the differentiation between nodular and diffuse non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphomas; and (3) reliable cytologic classification is possible only in certain cases of well-differentiated lymphocytic and diffuse histiocytic lymphomas. Well-differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma is characterized by a uniform cell picture consisting of mature lymphocytes, prolymphocytes or centrocytes up to 12 micron in size, by the presence of paraimmunoblasts and by the absence of reticulum cells. The diffuse histiocytic lymphoma contains over 48% centroblasts or over 8% immunoblasts or multinucleated giant blast cells. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To examine and subtype cutaneous lymphoma specimens for diagnosis. STUDY DESIGN: Aspiration smears from skin lesions and lymph nodes diagnosed as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) on cytology in 6 cases over a period of 1 year were reviewed. Two were follow-up cases of nodal lymphoma and were receiving chemotherapy, during which they developed skin lesions. In 4, the patients had cutaneous lesions as a presenting manifestation. Cytologic findings were correlated with histologic and hematologic findings and immunocytochemical markers for subtyping. RESULTS: Patients ranged from 14 to 50 years, with equal sex ratio. All presented with 0.5-5 cm multiple nodular, ulcerated and fungating skin lesions at various body sites. The aspirate was satisfactory in all cases. Cytologically, all cases were diagnosed as NHL. They were then immunocytochemistry subtyped as various lymphomas. CONCLUSION: Cutaneous lymphoma should always be considered in the presence of predominantly atypical lymphoid cells in smears from nodular and fungating skin lesions, even in the absence of a definitive clinical diagnosis. 相似文献

Analyzes the results of ultrasonic examinations of 111 patients with various forms of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Reviews ultrasonic semeiotics of non-Hodgkin's lymphadenopathy of the abdominal cavity and retroperitoneal space and of extranodal variants of lymphoma course (with involvement of the spleen and stomach). Suggests the most safe method for precision diagnostic aspiration biopsy of the spleen monitored by ultrasound. The author considers ultrasonic examination to be a valuable method for the diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas; it is economic, rapid, safe, permits a simultaneous assessment of the status of many organs and systems. The results of ultrasonic examinations should be assessed in complex with the results of other diagnostic methods. Ultrasonic examination should be considered as a method of choice for monitoring patients with diagnosed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. 相似文献

Antibody therapy of non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphoma 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Engineering antibodies with reduced immunogenicity and enhanced effector functions, and selecting antigen targets with the appropriate specificity, density, and/or functionality, have contributed to the recent clinical successes in using unconjugated "naked" antibody therapies of B-cell lymphoma (rituximab) and breast carcinoma (Herceptin). The non-overlapping toxicities of naked antibodies and chemotherapy, together with their potential synergy, which is based on unique and complementary mechanisms of action, have contributed to the creation of new standards of care in cancer therapy and management. Clinical trial results supporting these concepts are presented. Furthermore, the exquisite specificity of antibodies renders them ideal vehicles for selective delivery of toxic payloads such as drugs or radionuclides. Although successful in therapy of hematological cancers (Zevalin, Mylotarg), the broader application of these technologies to carcinomas still remains to be proven in clinical testing. Engineering of antibody constructs with optimal blood clearance and tumor-targeting kinetics, and selecting the radionuclide that may deliver sufficient radiation energy to kill the more radio-resistant carcinomas, are discussed. With the advent of genomics and proteomics, new membrane-associated tumor antigens are being discovered and will provide novel targets for future antibody therapy of cancer. 相似文献

Background
Patients with aero-digestive malignancy will often require a feeding gastrostomy during their treatment to maintain their nutritional status. These are usually placed percutaneously using an endoscopic technique.Case presentation
A fifty-six year old male underwent placement of a percutaneous gastrostomy (PEG) prior to commencement of his treatment for an oral squamous cell carcinoma. The treatment for this was locally curative. However, he developed a metastasis at the site of his PEG tube. This was excised en-bloc with the anterior gastric and abdominal walls.Conclusion
Tumour implantation into wounds has been previously reported. In this case the direct trauma of passing the PEG tube through the oropharynx led to implantation of cells in the anterior abdominal wall. In these cases laparoscopic placement may be more beneficial to avoid this problem. 相似文献9.

Macrophage development in 20 untreated patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) has been studied and compared with that in 20 normal subjects. Morphometric measurements were carried out on ultrastructural features of cell, nucleus and mitochondria during 6 days suspension culture of blood monocytes in the presence of autologous serum and lymphocytes. The results were subjected to multivariate and univariate analysis of variance. Statistically significant differences were found between the subject groups with respect to the volumes and surface areas of cell, nucleus and mitochondria, to the excess surface membrane of cell and nucleus (as compared with equivalent spheres) and to the number of mitochondrial profiles per section. It would appear that the patients' cell grew less, showed less elaboration of surface features and had reduced nuclear and mitochondrial development, the latter affecting mitochondrial numbers rather than individual size. The findings provide further evidence that mononuclear phagocytes are deranged in NHL. 相似文献

The human spleen has several different lymphoid compartments, which may be preferentially involved by non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Low grade B-cell lymphomas tend to involve the compartments of the spleen where their normal physiological counterparts are found. High grade B-cell lymphomas grow more destructively without respecting lymphoid compartments. T-cell lymphomas involve mainly the T-cell areas, but may also involve follicles and the red pulp. Since non-Hodgkin's lymphomas can be regarded as clonal proliferations of lymphocytes frozen at a stage in differentiation, one possible conclusion is that low grade lymphomas are governed by normal homing mechanisms. High grade lymphomas may have lost their homing properties. 相似文献

Between 1990 and 2004, 230 children with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) were treated according to the Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster (BFM) protocols (NHL-BFM-90 and -95) in Hungary. The aim of the present study was to summarize our experience with these protocols, to assess the survival rates and to compare the Hungarian data with the international results. The male-to-female ratio was 2.59:1, the mean age at the time of diagnosis was 10 years and 1 month. Ninety-one children had lymphoblastic/T-NHL (LB/T-NHL), 108 B-NHL and 31 anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). Twenty-eight patients had relapse after a mean time of 13 months from the time of the initial diagnosis. In the above mentioned period, 16 children underwent autologous stem-cell transplantation. Nine patients with B-NHL got anti-CD20 immunotherapy. The five-year overall survival (OS) of our patients is 77.8%+/-3%, the event-free survival (EFS) is 75.1%+/-3%. The 5-year OS and EFS rates were not statistically different in the three histology groups (OS: 71.6%+/-5%, 82.7%+/-4% and 80.3%+/-7%; EFS: 68.7%+/-5%, 81.1%+/-4% and 73.9%+/-8% in LB/T-NHL, B-NHL and ALCL, respectively). We can conclude that non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has a quite good prognosis among the malignant pediatric diseases. The cure rate is over 75%. The Hungarian results are comparable with other international data. In the last five years the mortality during induction was reduced from 10% to 2% and the OS is about 10% better than it was before. In case of relapse or residual disease, therapeutic results can be improved with stem-cell transplantation with or without immunotherapy. 相似文献

In addition to the nuclear area and a form factor, four morphometric parameters of nuclear shape (ID, R1, R2 and ND), obtained by the application of the principles of mathematical morphology, were used to characterize the nuclear contours in non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphomas. The values for each parameter were determined in 58 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma categorized according to the Kiel and National Cancer Institute classifications. Small-cell, mixed and large-cell lymphomas could be distinguished on the basis of the mean nuclear area. The shape parameters R1, R2 and ID were efficient discriminators of the large centrocytic (cleaved-cell) lymphomas. Neither size nor shape factors could distinguish between centroblastic and immunoblastic tumors. The good correlation between the morphometric findings and the histopathologic categories suggest that morphometry may provide a quantitative and objective method for grading lymphomas. 相似文献

In 1979-1987, 570 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (226 female and 344 male patients) were treated at the Department of Hematology of the Pomeranian Medical Academy and hematological outpatient clinic. The second malignant tumors were diagnosed in 25 (4.4%) patients. Two patients suffered from three malignant tumors. The most frequent combination of 2 tumors were: non-Hodgkin lymphoma and cancer of the lungs in 8 patients, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and cancer of the skin in 6 patients, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and cancer of the larynx in 4 patients, non-Hodgkin lymphoma combined with cancer of the stomach in 2 patients, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma together with cancer of the bladder in 2 patients. Moreover, non-Hodgkin lymphoma coexisted with cancer of the colon, cervix and prostate (one case of each). The authors stress the possibility of other malignant tumors in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphomas and occurrence of the subsequent neoplasms without preceding chemo- or radiotherapy. 相似文献

Summary Human dialyzable transfer factor was administered in a double-blind fashion to patients with Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Two groups were examined; patients with active disease and patients in remission. Parameters of cellular and humoral immunity were studied. The effect of transfer factor on the clinical condition was not evaluated.Transfer factor tended to intensify the skin test reactions of patients in remission to several recall antigens, but had no effect on the other parameters or the other patient group. 相似文献

A substantial body of data supports use of rituximab as first-line and maintenance therapy for the treatment of indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. With 7 years of postmarketing surveillance experience and more than 370,000 patient exposures, the safety profile of rituximab is well defined. Several multicenter trials suggest that infusion reactions associated with rituximab administration are well characterized and generally associated with the first infusion; toxicity is reduced with subsequent doses. Since some adverse events are related to circulating tumor loads of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, fewer events are anticipated in rheumatoid arthritis. Low infection rates in oncology would indicate similar safety in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. 相似文献

Cytotoxic activity of NK cells in the peripheral blood has been determined in 30 patients with malignant non-Hodgkin lymphomas prior to and following therapy. In the whole group as well as in subgroups classified according to the criteria of Working Formulation as lymphomas of the low, moderate and high degree of malignancy, activity of NK cells has been statistically significantly lower than that in healthy individuals. Marked increase in this activity has been noted in 19 patients in the state of clinical remission after the treatment with cytotoxic agents, and sometimes radiotherapy. The value of mean cytotoxic activity reached normal limits in the lymphoma of high degree of malignancy, and exceeded these limits in the lymphomas of moderate and low malignancy. 相似文献
