Low-dose moderate hypofractionated radiotherapy for indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma: a multicentre, single-arm, phase 2 trial. Lancet Haematol 2025:S2352-3026(25)00071-7. [PMID: 40324445 DOI: 10.1016/s2352-3026(25)00071-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2024] [Revised: 03/06/2025] [Accepted: 03/10/2025] [Indexed: 05/07/2025]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiotherapy for indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma has evolved to optimise the definitive dose while minimising toxicity. We aimed to assess the activity and safety of a hypofractionated low-dose radiotherapy regimen of 12 Gy in four fractions in patients with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma. METHODS This multicentre, single-arm, phase 2 trial study enrolled patients from four hospitals in China. Patients aged 18 years or older with newly diagnosed or relapsed stage I-IV indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (follicular lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, and low-grade lymphoma) and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-3 were eligible. Patients underwent involved-site radiotherapy at a dose of 12 Gy in four fractions. The primary endpoint was the complete response rate 6 months after radiotherapy. All analyses were performed in the intention-to-treat population. This trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05543070, with a four-month delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic; recruitment is complete and follow-up is ongoing. FINDINGS Between May 8, 2022, and Nov 8, 2023, 71 patients (with 73 target sites) were enrolled (median age 55 years [IQR 48-65]; 29 [41%] male and 42 [59%] female; and all were Asian). With a median follow-up of 19 months (IQR 16-22), the 6-month complete response was 95% (95% CI 87-98; 69 of 73 sites). The most common acute adverse events were grade 1 lymphopenia (20 [28%] of 71 patients) and grade 1 nausea (14 [19%] of 73 sites). The sole grade 3 or higher adverse event was grade 3 lymphopenia (eight [11%] of 71 patients). No treatment-related deaths were noted. INTERPRETATION The regimen of 12 Gy in four fractions is safe and shows promising activity as a local treatment for patients with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Given the retrospective registration of the trial, further studies evaluating the efficacy of this strategy are warranted.

Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2025; 121:1000-1005. [PMID: 39448038 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijrobp.2024.10.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2024] [Revised: 09/28/2024] [Accepted: 10/11/2024] [Indexed: 10/26/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Definitive radiation therapy (RT) of 30 Gy or higher is commonly recommended to treat Helicobacter pylori-independent gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma with an excellent disease control rate. However, the efficacy of reduced-dose RT has not yet been evaluated in a prospective cohort study. This multi-institutional study aimed to determine the role of reduced-dose RT in the treatment of stage IE gastric MALT lymphoma. METHODS AND MATERIALS Between March 2017 and June 2022, 62 patients with histologically confirmed stage IE gastric MALT lymphoma without evidence of H pylori infection were enrolled. The patients were treated with reduced-dose RT at a total dose of 24 to 25.5 Gy to the entire stomach. The response to therapy was evaluated by endoscopy with a biopsy of suspicious lesions if necessary. The primary endpoints were 6-month complete remission (CR) and local failure-free survival. RESULTS Among 62 patients, 32 (51.6%) were previously treated for H pylori eradication. Radiation therapy was delivered using 3D-conformal (n = 20, 32.3%) or intensity modulated radiation therapy (n = 42, 67.7%). The median follow-up duration was 34.5 months (range, 9.6-68.8 months). The 6-month CR rate was 96.7%. The 5-year local failure-free survival and progression-free survival rates were 92.0% and 90.4%, respectively. None of the patients experienced grade 3 or worse acute toxicities, and grade 2 acute toxicities were reported in 17 patients (27.4%). CONCLUSIONS Reduced-dose RT exhibited excellent response rates in stage IE gastric MALT lymphoma, comparable to historical controls of standard-dose (≥30 Gy) radiation therapy, with a minimal toxicity profile. Current prospective evidence strongly supports the use of definitive radiation therapy (24-25.5 Gy) for the treatment of H pylori-independent stage IE gastric MALT lymphoma.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT The management of marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), an indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, requires a personalized and adaptive approach due to its clinical and prognostic heterogeneity. We believe treatment should emphasize a balanced strategy considering the subtype, disease burden, symptoms, and actionable genetic or environmental factors, such as infections or autoimmune diseases. For asymptomatic patients with low tumor burden or disseminated disease, a watch-and-wait approach remains appropriate, given MZL's indolent nature and the risks of overtreatment. Conversely, for symptomatic or high-burden cases, early intervention with chemoimmunotherapy is recommended for effective disease control. Surgery remains essential for both diagnosis and the treatment of localized disease. Incorporating molecular profiling and prognostic models, such as MZL-IPI and POD24, is crucial for decision-making and risk stratification. Testing for infectious agents like Helicobacter pylori or Hepatitis C virus should be standard practice, as eradication therapy offers a targeted, less toxic, and effective option in select patients. With ongoing advancements in understanding dysregulated signaling pathways and the tumor microenvironment, we anticipate novel targeted therapies and combination regimens will further improve outcomes. We advocate for molecular testing at diagnosis to identify actionable biomarkers, particularly for patients with refractory or relapsed disease. Finally, MZL management requires vigilant follow-up with adjustments based on evolving disease features. Treatment decisions should integrate patient preferences, clinical context, and the latest evidence to maximize survival while preserving quality of life.

Abstract
Purpose Definitive intent radiation therapy (RT) for early-stage mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma typically includes a dose of 24 to 30 Gy. While modest, these doses may have associated toxicity. For patients with indolent B-cell lymphoma, there is increasing support for the use of ultra-low-dose RT (ULDRT) using 4 Gy in 2 fractions as part of a response-adapted approach, as high rates of complete response have been documented. This paradigm has been prospectively evaluated in the management of orbital and gastric indolent B-cell lymphomas; however, there is limited data guiding the use of ULDRT for lung MALT. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of 20 patients at our institution with lung MALT treated with ULDRT as part of a response-adapted approach. Clinical variables including prior systemic therapy and symptoms were abstracted from the electronic health record. Responses were assessed using the revised Lugano criteria. Results At a median follow up of 17 months following 4 Gy (IQR, 8-37 months), we observed 100% local control. Nineteen patients (95%) experienced a complete response. No patients with stage IE disease at RT (17/20; 85%) experienced distant progression. Nine patients (45%) were symptomatic prior to RT, with improvement or resolution of symptoms in 7 (7/9; 78%). One patient developed grade 2 pleuritic pain following RT, which resolved with a brief course of steroids. No other toxicities were noted. Conclusions ULDRT, given in a response-adapted approach, is effective and well tolerated by patients with lung MALT.

Abstract
Importance Radiation therapy to doses of 24 to 36 Gy is currently used to treat indolent B-cell lymphoma of the ocular adnexa; however, ocular adverse effects are common. Objective To determine if a response-adapted radiation therapy strategy will result in excellent disease outcomes while reducing orbital morbidity. Design, Setting, and Participants This single-institution, phase 2 prospective nonrandomized controlled trial of a response-adapted strategy involved 50 evaluable patients with stage I to IV indolent B-cell lymphoma of the ocular adnexa enrolled between July 2015 and January 2021. This treatment approach was also retrospectively evaluated with a separate 55-patient cohort treated between March 2013 and October 2021. All data were analyzed between November 2021 and December 2023. Interventions Patients were treated with ultralow-dose radiation therapy to 4 Gy in 2 fractions and assessed for response at 3-month intervals. Patients with persistent orbital lymphoma were offered an additional 20 Gy in 10 fractions to complete the response-adapted treatment. Main Outcome and Measures The primary end point was 2-year local orbital control within the irradiated field after response-adapted therapy. Secondary end points included overall survival and complete response rate. Results The 50 prospective patients were a median (range) of 63 (29-88) years old, and 31 (62%) were female. Among the 50 patients, 32 (64%) had mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, 12 (24%) had follicular lymphoma, and 6 (12%) had unclassifiable low-grade B-cell lymphoma. Thirty-one patients (62%) had stage I disease, and 36 (72%) were newly diagnosed. At a median follow-up of 37.4 (95% CI, 33.7-52.5) months, the 2-year local control rate was 89.4% (95% CI, 81.0%-98.7%), and the 2-year overall survival rate was 98.0% (95% CI, 94.1%-100%); 45 patients (90.0%; 95% CI, 78.2%-96.7%) experienced a complete response to response-adapted radiation, including 44 patients with a complete response to ultralow-dose radiation and 1 patient with a complete response after an additional 20 Gy. No local recurrences were observed among patients with a complete response to response-adapted therapy. No grade 3 or higher toxic effects were observed. In a planned subset analysis of 22 patients with newly diagnosed, untreated stage I mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, the 2-year local control rate was 90.7% (95% CI, 79.2%-100%), and the 2-year freedom from distant relapse rate was 95.2% (95% CI, 86.6%-100%). Conclusion and Relevance In this nonrandomized controlled trial, response-adapted ultralow-dose therapy for indolent orbital B-cell lymphoma resulted in reduced radiation exposure, negligible toxic effects, and excellent disease outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Given the favourable prognosis of patients with gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, treatment-related toxicity should be minimised. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of 4 Gy radiotherapy given in a response-adapted approach. METHODS We conducted a single-centre, single-arm, prospective trial at MD Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, TX, USA) of response-adapted ultra-low-dose radiotherapy. Eligible patients were 18 years or older and had newly diagnosed or relapsed Helicobacter pylori-negative gastric MALT lymphoma, with stage I-IV disease. Given the expected low toxicity profile of treatment, performance status was not an exclusion criterion. Patients received external beam photon-based radiotherapy for a total dose of 4 Gy in two fractions. Patients with a complete response to 4 Gy via endoscopy and imaging at 3-4 months were observed; patients with a partial response were re-evaluated in 6-9 months. Residual disease at 9-13 months or stable or progressive disease at any time required additional treatment with 20 Gy. The primary endpoint was gastric complete response at 1 year (second evaluation timepoint) after 4 Gy treatment. All analyses were performed as intention to treat. This trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03680586) and is complete and closed to enrolment. FINDINGS Between March 27, 2019, and Oct 12, 2021, we enrolled 24 eligible patients. The median age of participants was 67 years (IQR 58-74; range 40-85); 15 (63%) were female and nine (37%) male; 18 (75%) were White, four (17%) Asian, and two (8%) Hispanic; 20 (83%) had stage I disease, one (4%) stage II, and three (13%) stage IV. Median follow-up time was 36 months (IQR 26-42). 20 patients (83%) had a complete response to 4 Gy (16 at 3-4 months, four at 9-13 months); two patients received 20 Gy for symptomatic stable disease at 3-4 months and two for residual disease at 9-13 months; all had a complete response. The 3-year local control rate was 96% (95% CI 88-100), with one local relapse at 14 months after 4 Gy radiotherapy salvaged successfully with 20 Gy. One patient with stage IV disease had a distant relapse. The most common adverse events were grade 1 nausea (nine [38%] of 24 patients who received 4 Gy and two [50%] of four patients who received 20 Gy) and grade 1 abdominal pain (five [21%] of 24 and zero of four, respectively). No grade 3 or worse adverse events were noted, including no treatment-related deaths. INTERPRETATION Most patients had a complete response after 4 Gy radiotherapy; all who required an additional 20 Gy had a complete response within 12 months. This response-adapted strategy could be used to select patients who would benefit from additional radiotherapy and spare others potential associated toxicity. FUNDING National Cancer Institute.

Abstract
The disease failure patterns and optimal treatment of bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (BALT) lymphoma are unknown. This retrospective study involved 71 patients with primary BALT lymphoma who had received radiotherapy (RT), surgery, immunochemotherapy (IC), or observation. The median follow-up time was 66 months. The 5-year overall survival and lymphoma-specific survival were 91.2% and 96.1%, respectively, and were not significantly different among treatments. The 5-year cumulative incidence of overall failure for RT, surgery, IC, and observation was 0%, 9.7% (p = .160), 30.8% (p = .017), and 31.3% (p = .039). There was no grade ≥3 toxicity in RT group according to the CTCAE 5.0 reporting system. Quality of life (QoL) was at similarly good levels among the treatment groups. BALT lymphoma had a favorable prognosis but persistent risk of relapse after IC or observation. Given the very low disease failure risk and good QoL, RT remains an effective initial treatment for BALT lymphoma.

Abstract
Background: Radiotherapy is an effective treatment for indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL); however, the optimal radiotherapy dose remains to be determined. We hypothesize that a suitable dose may exist between 4 and 24 Gy. Methods: This prospective multicenter phase II trial intends to recruit 73 sites of iNHL patients, who will receive involved-site radiotherapy of 12 Gy in four fractions. The primary objective is the 6-month clinical complete response rate. Tumor tissue, blood and conjunctival specimens will be collected to identify potential predictive biomarkers. Discussion: The CLCG-iNHL-01 trial will evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of 12 Gy in patients with iNHL and provide information on a novel hypofractionation regimen of low-dose radiotherapy. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT05543070 (ClinicalTrials.gov).

Impact of Modern Low Dose Involved Site Radiation Therapy on Normal Tissue Toxicity in Cervicothoracic Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas: A Biophysical Study. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:5712. [PMID: 38136257 PMCID: PMC10741516 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15245712] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
This biophysical study aimed to determine fitting parameters for the Lyman-Kutcher-Burman (LKB) dose-response model for normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) calculations of acute side effects and to investigate the impact of reduced radiation doses on the probability of their occurrence in supradiaphragmatic non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) irradiation. A cohort of 114 patients with NHL in the cervicothoracic region, treated between 2015 and 2021 at the University Hospitals of Münster, Hamburg, and Essen, with involved site radiation therapy (ISRT), were included. Among them, 68 patients with aggressive NHL (a-NHL) received consolidative radiation therapy with 24-54 Gy following (R-)CHOP chemotherapy. Additionally, 46 patients with indolent NHL (i-NHL) underwent radiotherapy with 22.5-45.0 Gy. Two treatment plans were prospectively created for each patient (a-NHL: 30.0/40.0 Gy; i-NHL: 24.0/30.0 Gy). NTCP were then calculated using the optimized LKB model. The adapted dose-response models properly predicted the patient's probability of developing acute side effects when receiving doses ≤ 50 Gy. In addition, it was shown that reduced radiation doses can influence the NTCP of acute side effects depending on the aggressiveness of NHL significantly. This study provided a foundation to prospectively assess the probability of adverse side effects among today's reduced radiation doses in the treatment of NHL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of ocular adnexa (OA-EMZL) is the most frequent type of ocular adnexal lymphomas, with a high rate of disease recurrence. Precise patient stratification based on disease recurrence is understudied. This study aims to identify risk factors of distant recurrence (DR) and local recurrence (LR) to construct a prognostic model optimising rapid decision of therapeutic strategies. METHODS A total of 104 patients diagnosed with OA-EMZL between January 2011 and February 2020 were enrolled. Propensity score matching was performed for DR and LR groups. A nomogram was generated using a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS After matching, different independent risk factors of DR and LR were identified. Monocyte percentage (p=0.015) and M category >0 (p=0.043) were significant independent risk factors of DR. Epiphora (p<0.001) was the significant independent risk factor of LR. Three factors (monocyte percentage, M category >0, age >60) were integrated into the nomogram to predict the risk of DR. It had a relatively better discriminative ability for distant recurrence-free survival (C-index: 3-year, 0.784; 6-year, 0.801) than IPI score (C-index: 3-year, 0.663; 6-year, 0.673) in the cohort of all patients. CONCLUSION Our analyses suggested DR and LR as two distinct prognostic events, and additionally identified novel risk factors of them. The nomogram may serve as a practical tool for the prognostic estimation and rapid decision of therapeutic strategies for patients with OA-EMZL.

Abstract
DISEASE OVERVIEW Marginal zone lymphomas (MZL) are collectively the second most common type of indolent lymphoma. DIAGNOSIS Three subtypes of MZL are recognized: splenic, extranodal, and nodal. The diagnosis is secured following biopsy of an involved nodal or extranodal site demonstrating a clonal B-cell infiltrate with CD5 and CD10 negative immunophenotype most common. Some cases will features IgM paraprotein, but MYD88 L256P mutations are less frequent than in Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. Prognostication Several prognostic models have been developed, including the MALT-IPI and the MZL-IPI. The latter is broadly applicable across MZL subtypes and incorporates elevated serum LDH, anemia, lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia and nodal or disseminated subtypes as independent predictors of outcome. TREATMENT We discuss suggested approach to therapy for both early and advanced-stage disease, with reference to chemo-immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and emerging treatments in relapsed/refractory disease such as BTK inhibitors.

Abstract
Background To date, there is no treatment consensus on mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) derived primary pulmonary lymphoma (PPL). Methods We identified patients with early-stage MALT-type PPL from the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program database. The patients were divided into four groups according to treatment modalities: None of surgery or chemotherapy (None) group, Surgery alone group, Chemotherapy alone (Chemo alone) group, and Surgery plus chemotherapy (Surgery + chemo) group. Overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were study endpoints. We performed Cox regression analyses, propensity score-matched analyses (PSM) and Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival curves to compare the survival among different groups. Results A total of 953 patients were included in our analysis with 302, 403, 175, and 73 cases in the None, Surgery alone, Chemo alone, and Surgery + chemo groups, respectively. In this cohort, the estimated 3-year, 5-year and 10-year OS rates were 86.95%, 78.91%, and 55.89%, respectively. Meanwhile, the estimated 3-year, 5-year and 10-year CSS rates were 96.71%, 93.73%, and 86.84%, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analyses demonstrated that increasing age, tumors located in the lower lobe, and stage II were significant predictors of poorer OS while increasing age and tumors located in the bilateral lungs were associated with lower CSS. After PSM analyses, the KM survival curves showed no significant differences in OS or CSS among the four groups. Conclusion Early-stage MALT-type PPL is indolent in nature. Neither surgery, chemotherapy nor a combination of surgery and chemotherapy can improve OS and CSS, suggesting that “watch and wait” may be a reasonable alternative.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Given the lower incidence of lymphoma-related death but higher background mortality in patients with early-stage mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, it is critically important to examine how age affects a treatment's survival benefit. METHODS 9,467 patients with early-stage MALT lymphoma in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database treated between 2000-2015 were extracted and analyzed. Primary therapy was classified as radiotherapy (n = 3,407), chemotherapy (n = 1,294), and other/unknown treatments including observation (n = 4,766). Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was conducted to balance baseline characteristics between groups. Relative survival (RS), standardized mortality ratio (SMR), and transformed Cox regression were conducted to compare survival differences between treatment modalities by controlling for the background mortality. Radiotherapy-age interaction was examined. RESULTS Across age-groups, early-stage MALT lymphoma patients were at lower risk of lymphoma-related death than death due to other causes. The 10-year overall survival (OS, 73.8 %) and RS (96.6 %) rates were significantly higher, and the SMR (1.14) significantly lower, with radiotherapy than with chemotherapy (OS, 61.7 %; RS, 86.4 %; SMR, 1.54; P < 0.001) or other/unknown treatments (OS, 61.1 %; RS, 87.2 %; SMR, 1.41; P < 0.001). By multivariable analysis and IPTW, radiotherapy remained an independent predictor of better RS (HR 0.81, 95 %CI, 0.73-0.89; P < 0.001). A significant interaction between age and radiotherapy was identified for both RS (Pinteraction = 0.016) and OS (Pinteraction = 0.024), indicating greater benefit in young adults. CONCLUSION Radiotherapy was associated with significantly better survival in early-stage MALT lymphoma, especially in young adults.

Relapse in patients with limited‐stage ocular adnexal lymphoma treated by chemoimmunotherapy: Extended follow‐up of a phase 2 study. Cancer Med 2022; 11:2817-2823. [PMID: 35277938 PMCID: PMC9302339 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.4639] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2021] [Revised: 09/19/2021] [Accepted: 02/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Approximately 50% of limited‐stage ocular adnexal mucosa‐associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (OAML) patients with adverse prognostic factors relapse after radiotherapy. Chemoimmunotherapy has been proposed as an alternative frontline therapy. However, only a few studies have reported its long‐term treatment outcome. Methods In 2011, we commenced a phase 2 trial to investigate the efficacy of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisolone (R‐CVP) in bilateral and non‐conjunctival limited‐stage OAML patients. Results of the clinical trial showed a response rate of 100% and a 4‐year progression‐free survival of 90.3% without significant toxicity. We extended the study period to December 2020 to determine the long‐term efficacy of R‐CVP chemoimmunotherapy. Results At a median observation period of 66.0 months, eight of 33 study patients had relapsed. The cumulative incidence of relapse was 18.9% at 5 years and 44.7% at 8 years. The majority of relapses developed more than 4 years after treatment. Local relapse was more prevalent than distant relapse. The relapse risk of orbital and lacrimal diseases was likely to be higher than that of conjunctival and eyelid diseases (HR: 2.5, 95% CI: 0.498–12.500, p = 0.25). Conclusion Although the response rate was remarkable for chemoimmunotherapy, the risk of late relapse was considerable. Based on our findings, clinical trials for limited‐stage OAML patients should have a long‐term observation period. To minimize radiation toxicity and reduce the risk of delayed relapse (local relapse and distant relapse), a future study with sequential or combination treatment of local low‐dose radiation and systemic chemoimmunotherapy can be considered.

Abstract
Simple Summary Gastric marginal zone lymphoma of the stomach is a rare cancer type primarily treated with oral proton pump inhibitors. If the disease does not respond to this, radiation is the treatment of choice. This review presents the development of radiation therapy over the last decades. Earlier, the stomach was surgically removed and irradiation was performed using large-field techniques and high doses of radiation. Currently, the standard treatment is the use of small-volume radiation therapy (with few side effects) with the preservation of the stomach, which provides excellent outcomes. In addition, this paper provides an outlook on current studies and possible future developments. Abstract Gastric marginal zone lymphoma (gMZL) of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) may persist even after H. pylori eradication, or it can be primarily Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) independent. For patients without the successful eradication of lymphoma, or with progressive disease, treatment options have historically included partial or total gastrectomy. Presently, in these instances, curative radiation therapy (RT) is the current standard of care. This review emphasizes the historically changing role of radiation therapy in gMZL, progressing from large-volume RT without surgery, to localized RT, on its own, as a curative organ-preserving treatment. This overview shows the substantial progress in radiation therapy during the recent two to three decades, from high-dose, large-field techniques to low-dose, localized target volumes based on advanced imaging, three-dimensional treatment planning, and advanced treatment delivery techniques. RT has evolved from very large extended field techniques (EF) with prophylactic treatment of the whole abdomen and the supradiaphragmatic lymph nodes, applying doses between 30 and 50 Gy, to involved-field RT (IF), to the current internationally recommended involved site radiation therapy (ISRT) with a radiation dose of 24–30 Gy in gMZL. Stage-adapted RT is a highly effective and safe treatment with excellent overall survival rates and very rare acute or late treatment-related toxicities, as shown not only in retrospective studies, but also in large prospective multicenter studies, such as those conducted by the German Study Group on Gastrointestinal Lymphoma (DSGL). Further de-escalation of the radiation treatments with low-dose 20 Gy, as well as ultra-low-dose 4 Gy radiation therapy, is under investigation within ongoing prospective clinical trials of the International Lymphoma Radiation Oncology Group (ILROG) and of the German Lymphoma Alliance (GLA).

Abstract
Gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a rare disease which is often associated with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. First-line treatment of stage IE and IIE localized gastric MALT lymphoma is based on the eradication of H. pylori. The presence of H. pylori resistance factors such as translocation t (11;18), peri-gastric lymph node involvement and the degree of tumor infiltration of the gastric wall; or lack of response to antibiotic therapy are two main indications to treat with definitive radiotherapy (RT). RT is an effective treatment in localized gastric MALT lymphoma. A moderate dose of 30 Gy allows a high cure rate while being well tolerated. After treatment, regular gastric endoscopic follow-up is necessary to detect a potential occurrence of gastric adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
The stomach is the most common site of origin for extranodal lymphomas,
with extranodal marginal zone B-cell of the mucosa associated lymphoid
tissue (MALT-lymphoma) being the predominant subtype. MALT-lymphoma
develops in mucosa associated lymphoid structures acquired by
infection or chronic antigenic stimuli and may therefore arise in
almost any organ of the human body. In spite of histopathologic
similarities between various organs upon first glance, recent findings
suggest pronounced differences between different sites, with a variety
of features specific to gastric MALT-lymphoma. The objective of this
review is to sum up the current knowledge on pathogenesis, molecular
pathology, clinical presentation and therapeutic approaches to gastric
MALT-lymphoma with in-depth discussion of recent developments.

Abstract
Purpose This study compares reduced (<27 Gy) to standard dose (≥30 Gy) radiation therapy (RT) in the treatment of gastric extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (gMALT lymphoma). Methods and Materials Forty-two patients with stage I or II disease were retrospectively reviewed. Response to RT was assessed with endoscopy after RT. Complete response rate (CR), freedom from treatment failure, and overall survival (OS) were calculated. Results All patients were stage I (n = 40) or II (n = 2). All patients had residual biopsy proven gMALT lymphoma before RT. Twenty-six patients (61.9%) were treated with standard dose RT, 30 to 36 Gy, and 16 (38.1%) with the reduced dose RT, 23.5 to 27 Gy. The median follow-up was 29.5 months (range, 6-85). Thirty-six patients (86%) achieved complete response (CR), and 6 patients (14%) achieved partial response (PR). The complete response rate (CR) at the first endoscopic assessment, median time of 3 months, was 81% (95% confidence interval, 0.61%-0.93%) for standard RT, and 94% (confidence interval, 0.69%-0.99%) for reduced RT. Among CR patients, one patient had locally relapsed disease at 50 months. The 1-year overall survival (OS) was 100% in both groups. The 1-year freedom from treatment failure (FFTF) was 100% in the reduced RT group and 92% in the standard RT group. The 2-year FFTF and OS of the whole cohort were 92% and 96%, respectively. There was no significant difference in the OS, FFTF, and CR between the 2 treatment groups (P = .38, P = .18, and P = .267, respectively). For toxicity, the mean liver dose and the mean V20 heart dose were significantly lower in the reduced RT group (P <.001 and P = .001, respectively). However, incidence and severity of reported toxicities were similar between the 2 groups. Conclusions Reduced dose RT (23.5-27 Gy) achieved excellent complete response rates with minimal toxicity, comparable with standard dose RT (30-36 Gy), for gMALT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the efficacy of a schedule of low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT) with 4 Gy (2 Gy x 2) in a cohort of unselected MALT or MZL patients. METHODS We retrospectively collected all patients receiving LDRT, either for cure or palliation, for a stage I-IV histologically proven MALT or MZL between 2016 and 2020. Response to LDRT was evaluated with the Lugano criteria. Local control (LC), distant relapse-free survival (DRFS), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were stratified for treatment intent (curative vs palliative) and estimated by the Kaplan-Meier product-limit. RESULTS Among 45 consecutively enrolled patients with a median age of 68 years (range 22-86), 26 (58%) were female. Thirty-one patients (69%) with a stage I-II disease received LDRT as first line therapy and with a curative intent. Overall response rate was 93%, with no significant difference among curative and palliative intent. With a median follow-up of 18 months, LC, DRFS, PFS and OS at 2 years were 93, 92, 76 and 91%, respectively, in the overall population. Patients receiving curative LDRT had a better PFS at 2 years (85% vs 54%, p < 0.01) compared to patients receiving palliative treatment. LDRT was well tolerated in all patients, without any significant acute or chronic side-effect. CONCLUSIONS LDRT is effective and well tolerated in patients affected with MALT or nodal MZL, achieving high response rates and durable remission at 2 years. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE This study shows the efficacy of LDRT in the treatment of MALT and MZL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In Western countries, the prevalence of gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma has declined over the last three decades. Contemporaneously, H. pylori negative gastric MALT lymphoma is increasingly encountered, and their genetic basis and clinical features remain elusive. METHODS A total of 57 cases of H. pylori negative gastric MALT lymphoma were reviewed and investigated for chromosome translocation by fluorescence in-situ hybridization and for somatic mutations by the targeted sequencing of 93 genes. RESULTS MALT1 translocation, most likely t(11;18)(q21;q21)/BIRC3-MALT1, was detected in 39% (22/57) cases, and IGH translocation was further seen in 12 MALT1-negative cases, together accounting for 60% of the cohort. Targeted sequencing was successful in 35 cases, and showed frequent mutations in NF-κB signaling pathways (TNFAIP3 = 23%, CARD11 = 9%, MAP3K14 = 9%), together affecting 14 cases (40%). The NF-κB pathway mutations were mutually exclusive from MALT1, albeit not IGH translocation, altogether occurring in 86% of cases. There was no significant correlation between the genetic changes and clinicopathological parameters. The patients showed a median of progression-free survival (PFS) of 66.3 months, and a significant superior PFS when treated with systemic versus antibiotic therapy (p = 0.004). CONCLUSION H. pylori negative gastric MALT lymphoma is characterized by highly frequent genetic changes in the NF-κB signaling pathways.

Abstract
Introduction Primary breast marginal zone lymphoma (PBMZL) is a rare occurrence and less is known about its characteristics, treatments, and outcomes. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 370 cases of early-stage PBMZL from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Statistical analyses were performed to describe clinical features, determine prognostic factors, and compare different therapeutic strategies. Results At a median follow-up of 68.5 months, the 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) rate were 81.2 and 95.4%, respectively. We divided the cohort into four treatment groups and compared their characteristics and survival: radiotherapy (RT) ± surgery (Sx) (n = 142, 38.4%), Sx alone (n = 71, 19.2%), any chemotherapy (CT) (n = 63, 17.0%), and none of the above (n = 94, 25.4%). Age of onset and laterality of lesions tended to relate to the choice of different treatments. Multivariate Cox analysis showed that advanced age (>60 years), concomitant tumor, and any CT (vs RT ± Sx) predicted poorer OS, while for DSS, there was no meaningful indicator (P > 0.05). Patients aged >60 years or treated with any CT seemed to have shorter DSS, but the difference only approached statistical significance. Then we applied a propensity score-matched analysis to demonstrate that neither RT- nor Sx-containing therapy could bring a better OS or DSS. The competing risk model suggested that CT was the only contributor to higher PBMZL-specific mortality. Conclusion Our results show an indolent behavior of early-stage PBMZL with long-term survival. Conventional oncological treatments fail to bring survival benefits; especially CT is detrimental to survival, suggesting that observation may be advisable in the management of early-stage PBMZL, and further research on novel targeted agents is warranted for patients in need.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION : MALT (mucosa associated lymphoid tissue) lymphoma is a distinct type of B-cell lymphoma characterized by extranodal manifestation and an indolent clinical course with 10-year survival rates up to 90%. However, transformation to aggressive lymphoma may occur and treatment is indicated in case of symptomatic or progressive disease. AREAS COVERED : This review covers clinical and biological features potentially related to prognosis and outcome of MALT lymphoma patients, as well as available prognostic tools and risk stratification systems with a focus on the MALT-IPI (international prognostic index) and the POD24 (progression of disease at 24 months) cohort. In addition, we address the role of watch-and-wait, the importance of defining the optimal time point for treatment initiation and the relevance of depth of remission, which appear to be some of the central questions for physicians involved in the care of MALT lymphoma patients. A computerized database search using PubMed® was performed to identify available publications on prognostic factors and risk stratification tools in MALT lymphoma. EXPERT OPINION : Despite the development of disease-specific risk stratification systems, there is no clear concept how to measure prognosis and tailor treatment. Careful observation of the individual clinical course is essential to assess the optimal time point of treatment initiation and avoid overtreatment, particularly in patients with disseminated disease. In addition, early detection of patients with histological transformation is necessary, as these patients face a poor prognosis.

A Prospective Trial of Radiation Therapy Efficacy and Toxicity for Localized Mucosa-associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) Lymphoma. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2021; 109:1414-1420. [PMID: 33309978 PMCID: PMC12007817 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijrobp.2020.11.070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2020] [Revised: 11/17/2020] [Accepted: 11/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE We report the long-term results of a prospective trial conducted to determine the efficacy and safety of radiation therapy (RT) alone in treating localized mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. METHODS AND MATERIALS Patients with localized MALT lymphoma were eligible and treated with involved field RT to doses of 24 to 39.6 Gy. Relapse-free survival (RFS) was the primary endpoint. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate RFS, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) defined from time of study entry. Preplanned subgroup analyses were performed based on site of involvement. RESULTS From 2000 to 2012, 75 patients were accrued; 73 received protocol-specified RT. Median follow-up was 9.8 years. Thirty-four patients had gastric MALT, 17 orbital, 13 head and neck nonorbit, 4 skin, and 5 disease of other sites. Thirteen of 34 patients with gastric MALT were Helicobacter pylori positive at the time of initial diagnosis and underwent 1 to 3 courses of triple antibiotic therapy. All gastric MALT patients had documented persistent MALT without H. pylori on endoscopy before enrollment in the study. All patients achieved a complete response with a median time of 3 months. Eleven patients (15%) had disease relapse, 9 of which were at sites outside the RT field with median time to progression of 38.3 months. Median PFS was 17.5 years, and median RFS and OS were not reached. The 10-year relapse-free rate was 83% (95% confidence interval [CI], 74%-93%). The 10-year PFS rate was 71% (95% CI, 60%-84%). The 10-year OS rate was 86% (95% CI, 77%-96%). RFS, PFS, and OS did not differ by disease site (P = .17, .43, and .50, respectively). All relapses were successfully salvaged. One patient developed metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma and was found to also have recurrent MALT on biopsy. Otherwise, all relapsed patients were alive without evidence of disease at last follow-up, and no patient died of MALT lymphoma. Sixty-seven patients (92%) experienced acute toxicity during radiation, all of which were grade 1 and 2, with only 1 grade 3 toxicity. Twenty-two patients (30%) experienced late toxicity, with only 1 grade 3 toxicity. CONCLUSIONS This prospective study confirms that RT for MALT lymphoma provides excellent long-term RFS with acceptable rates of toxicity. Current efforts are focused on RT de-escalation in an effort to further avoid treatment-related morbidity. CLINICALTRIALS.GOV: NCT04465162.

Biophysical Analysis of Acute and Late Toxicity of Radiotherapy in Gastric Marginal Zone Lymphoma-Impact of Radiation Dose and Planning Target Volume. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13061390. [PMID: 33808548 PMCID: PMC8003236 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13061390] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2020] [Revised: 02/04/2021] [Accepted: 03/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Prospective evaluation of impact of dose and target volume in radiation planning of gastric lymphoma on organs at risk. New model parameters for calculation of normal tissue complication probabilities were developed from quality-assured cohort data. The study provides practicable data to calculate risks for neighbored organs at risk in modern radiation planning with currently lower radiation doses, representing a basis for future adaptation of previous model parameters. Abstract Successful studies on radiation therapy for gastric lymphoma led to a decrease in planning target volume (PTV) and radiation dose with low toxicities, maintaining excellent survival rates. It remains unclear as to which effects are to be expected concerning dose burden on organs at risk (OAR) by decrease in PTV vs. dose and whether a direct impact on toxicity might be expected. We evaluated 72 radiation plans, generated prospectively for a cohort of 18 patients who were treated for indolent gastric lymphoma in our department. As a prospective work, four radiation plans with different radiation doses and target volumes (40 Gy-involved field, 40 Gy-involved site, 30 Gy-involved field, 30 Gy-involved site) were generated for each patient. Mean dose burden on adjacent organs was compared between the planning groups. Cohort toxicity data served to estimate parameters for the Lyman–Kutcher–Burman (LKB) model for normal tissue complication probability (NTCP). These were used to anticipate adverse events for OAR. Literature parameters were used to estimate high-grade toxicities of OAR. Decrease of dose and/or PTV led to median dose reductions between 0.13 and 5.2 Gy, with a significant dose reduction on neighboring organs. Estimated model parameters for liver, spleen, and bowel toxicity were feasible to predict cohort toxicities. NTCP for the endpoints elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count, and diarrhea ranged between 15.9 and 22.8%, 27.6 and 32.4%, and 21.8 and 26.4% for the respective four plan variations. Field and dose reduction highly impact dose burden and NTCP for OAR during stomach radiation. Our estimated LKB model parameters offer a good approximation for low-grade toxicities in abdominal organs with modern radiation techniques.

Abstract
Background Radiotherapy is often used for treating patients with gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas who fail to respond to Helicobacter pylori eradication. However, non-gastric intestinal MALT lymphoma is rare, and no standard therapeutic strategies have been established. This study was designed to assess the long-term prognosis of non-gastric intestinal MALT lymphoma treated with radiotherapy and to compare the outcomes with that of post-radiotherapy gastric MALT lymphoma. Methods The study included 34 patients with stage I EA gastrointestinal MALT lymphoma according to the Ann Arbor classification who underwent definitive radiotherapy. The primary site was the rectum in 3, the duodenum in 1, and the stomach in 30 patients. The radiotherapy dose was 1.5‒2.0 Gy (median, 1.5 Gy) and the total dose was 30‒40 Gy (median, 30 Gy). The clinical target volume (CTV) was defined as the volume of the entire organ with the lymphoma. Adjacent lymph node areas were not routinely included in the CTV. Results Complete response (CR) was achieved in all patients. There were no local recurrences, and two cases of recurrence were observed at other sites. The 5-year overall survival rates for non-gastric and gastric MALT lymphomas were 100% and 94.7%, respectively, and the 5-year disease-free survival rates were 100% and 95.7%, respectively. None of the patients died of the current illness. Conclusion Radiotherapy for non-gastric intestinal MALT lymphoma is expected to result in good local control and long-term survival, similar to that for gastric MALT lymphoma.

First Line Systemic Treatment for MALT Lymphoma-Do We Still Need Chemotherapy? Real World Data from the Medical University Vienna. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12123533.

Abstract
There is no clear therapeutic algorithm for mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma beyond Helicobacter pylori eradication and while chemotherapy-based regimens are standard for MALT lymphoma patients in need of systemic treatment, it appears of interest to also investigate chemotherapy-free strategies. We have retrospectively assessed MALT lymphoma patients undergoing upfront systemic treatment, classified either as chemotherapy (=classical cytostatic agents +/- rituximab) or immunotherapy (=immunomodulatory agents or single anti-CD20 antibodies) at the Medical University Vienna 1999-2019. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). In total, 159 patients were identified with a median follow-up of 67 months. The majority of patients had extragastric disease (80%), but we also identified 32 patients (20%) with Helicobacter pylori negative or disseminated gastric lymphoma. Regarding the type of first line treatment and outcome, 46% (74/159) received a chemotherapy-based regimen and 54% (85/159) immunotherapy including IMiDs lenalidomide/thalidomide (37%), anti-CD20-anitbodies rituximab/ofatumumab (27%), macrolides clarithromycin/azithromycin (27%) and proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (9%). Median PFS was 76 months (95%CI 50-102), and while the overall response (90% vs. 68%, p < 0.01) and the complete remission rate (75% vs. 43%, p < 0.01) was significantly higher for chemotherapy, there was no difference in PFS between chemotherapy (median 81 months, 95%CI 47-116) and immunotherapy (76 months, 95%CI 50-103, p = 0.57), suggesting comparable long-term outcomes. To conclude, our data show higher response rates with chemo- compared to immunotherapy, but this did not translate into a superior PFS. Given the biological background of MALT lymphoma, and the favorable toxicity profile of novel immunomodulatory treatments, this should be further investigated.

Abstract
The mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) International Prognostic Index (IPI) was recently proposed as a prognostic index for patients with MALT lymphoma. We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of the serum β2-microglobulin level in the context of MALT-IPI, and we proposed a new prognostic index. Survival outcomes were analysed with regard to β2-microglobulin level, MALT-IPI, and the new prognostic index in MALT lymphoma patients (n = 571). The validity of the new prognostic index was assessed using an independent cohort (n = 216). Patients with high β2-microglobulin levels had significantly worse progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) outcomes. A high β2-microglobulin level was independently associated with poor PFS and OS. β2-microglobulin levels further stratified patients in the MALT-IPI intermediate-risk group in terms of PFS and OS. A new prognostic index based on the MALT-IPI and the β2-microglobulin level, MALT-IPI-B, was proposed. The MALT-IPI-B was able to stratify patients into subgroups having distinct PFS and OS outcomes in both the training and validation cohorts. MALT-IPI-B enabled the identification of patients with poor survival outcomes who were classified into the intermediate-risk group by the MALT-IPI. In conclusion, this new β2-microglobulin-based prognostic index may have the specific advantage of identifying high-risk patients who may require systemic treatment.

Abstract
Background: Lymphoma of the sublingual gland is rare, representing 1% of all salivary gland lymphomas. In this case report, we present three new cases and compare them to previously published cases, with the aim of characterizing the clinical, morphological, histopathological, and genetic features of this type of malignancy. Materials and Methods: We provide a clinical description of three cases along with a characterization of the microscopic features, including morphology, and immunohistochemistry. In addition, we analysed possible cytogenetic rearrangements with the use of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Results: Case 1: A 61-year-old male presenting with a painless swelling of the floor of the mouth diagnosed as extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) of the left sublingual gland. The patient is alive with no evidence of disease after his fourth treatment regimen following several relapses. Case 2: A 68-year-old female with a prior history of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) presenting with a tender swelling of the left sublingual gland as well as the right submandibular gland. The lesions were diagnosed as relapsing MCL. The patient died of unrelated causes after 18 months of treatment. Case 3: A 75-year-old female presenting with a swelling of the floor of the mouth diagnosed as follicular lymphoma (FL) of the left sublingual gland. The patient received chemotherapy along with radiotherapy and was still alive 10 years after the diagnosis. Conclusion: The three cases of sublingual gland lymphomas presented in this case report resemble lymphomas of other major salivary glands. The clinician should be aware of this type of malignancy and that the clinical presentation may not differ from benign lesions or other more common malignancies in this location.

Abstract
Malignant lymphoma originates from the lymphohematopoietic system. It can occur in any lymphoid tissue. Malignant lymphoma of the salivary gland is rare, but its incidence has increased in recent years. Its clinical- presentations are non-specific, and it is often manifested as a painless mass in a salivary gland, which can be accompanied by multiple swollen cervical lymph nodes. Confirmation of the diagnosis before an invasive procedure is difficult. Clinically, malignant lymphoma of the salivary gland tends to be misdiagnosed, leading to an inappropriate treatment plan and the ultimate delay in the optimal treatment of the disease. This article reviews the pathogenesis, clinical features, imaging findings, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of malignant lymphoma of the salivary gland.

[PMID: 32219909 PMCID: PMC7216456 DOI: 10.1634/theoncologist.2019-0783] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2019] [Accepted: 01/20/2020] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose This article reports on the long‐term impact of radiotherapy adapted to stage, histology, and previous resection in a large cohort of patients with intestinal lymphoma (iL) treated with definitive or adjuvant curative‐intent radiation therapy (RT) ± chemotherapy (CHOP, MCP, or COP). Patients and Methods In two consecutive prospective study designs, 134 patients with indolent (stage IE–IIE) or aggressive (stage IE–IVE) iL were referred to 61 radiotherapeutic institutions between 1992 and 2003. Patients with indolent iL received extended field (EF) 30 Gy (+10 Gy boost in definitive treatment); patients with aggressive iL received involved field (IF) (EF) 40 Gy by means of stage‐, histology‐, and operation‐adapted radiation fields. Results The patients had median age 58 years and were predominantly male (2:1). Histology showed aggressive prevalence (1.6:1), stage IE–to–stage IIE ratio of iL 1.04:1, and localized stages–to–advanced stages ratio of aggressive lymphoma 23:1. Median follow‐up was in total 11.7 years: 10.0 years in the first study, GIT (GastroIntestinal‐Tract) 1992, and 11.8 years in the second study, GIT 1996. Lymphoma involvement was predominantly a single intestinal lesion (82.1%). Decrease of radiation field size from EF to IF in stage I aggressive iL from GIT 1992 to GIT 1996 resulted in a nonsignificant partial reduction of chronic toxicity while maintaining comparable survival rates (5‐year overall survival 87.9 vs. 86.7%, 10‐year overall survival 77.4 vs. 71.5%) with nonsignificant difference in event‐free survival (5‐year event‐free survival 82.6 vs. 86.7%, 10‐year event‐free survival 69.7 vs. 71.5%) and lymphoma‐specific survival (5‐year lymphoma‐specific survival 90.1 vs. 91.9%, 10‐year lymphoma‐specific survival 87.6% vs. 91.9%). Comparative dose calculation of two still available indolent duodenal lymphoma computed tomography scans revealed lower radiation exposure to normal tissues from applying current standard involved site RT (ISRT) 30 Gy in both cases. Conclusion RT adapted to stage, histology, and resection in multimodal treatment of iL, despite partially decreasing field size (EF to IF), achieves excellent local tumor control and survival rates. The use of modern RT technique and target volume with ISRT offers the option of further reduction of normal tissue complication probability. Implications for Practice Although patients with intestinal lymphoma (iL) are heterogeneous according to histology and subtype, they benefit from radiotherapy. Prospective study data from 134 patients with indolent iL (stage IE–IIE) or aggressive iL (stage IE–IVE) show 100% tumor control after definitive or adjuvant curative‐intent radiation therapy ± chemotherapy. Radiation treatment was applied between 1992 and 2003. Median follow‐up in total was 11.7 years. No radiotherapy‐associated death occurred. Relapse developed in 15.7% of the entire cohort; distant failure was more frequent than local (4:1). Normal tissue complication probability can be further improved using modern involved site radiation therapy techniques. This article reports the details of radiation therapy in the therapeutic multimodality approach for treatment of patients with intestinal lymphoma.

[PMID: 32071897 PMCID: PMC7024897 DOI: 10.1159/000502204] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2019] [Accepted: 06/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type of the thyroid gland is a rare indolent malignant disease encountered in approximately 0.5% of patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT). The purpose of the present systematic review was to accumulate the current evidence in the field. STUDY DESIGN We searched the Medline, Scopus, EMBASE, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials CENTRAL databases from inception to May 2018. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS version 22.0. RESULTS Fourteen case series and 20 case reports were finally included in the present systematic review. Analysis of the patient data included in the published case reports suggested that the age at diagnosis of MALT lymphoma does no differ among males and females (64 [52.5-73] vs. 67 [60.5-72] years, p = 0.442). HT was detected in 60% of patients, whereas coexisting carcinoma was evident in 17% of cases. The incidence of HT and thyroid cancer was comparable among males and females (p = 0.474 and p > 0.999, respectively). Among all patients included in the present systematic review there were two disease relapses and two deaths attributed to the disease. CONCLUSION MALT lymphoma of the thyroid gland is a rare malignancy with an indolent course. The scarce data available in the literature preclude safe conclusions concerning the mode of treatment and follow-up of these patients. However, the combination of minimally invasive surgery and adjuvant therapy seems feasible. Moreover, an extended follow-up period is recommended.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate clinical, histopathologic, and radiation (RT) dose parameters in patients with extranodal low-grade (ENLG) non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and their possible impact on local control (LC) and survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS The medical records of 159 patients with 181 histologically confirmed ENLG-NHL lesions treated at our institution were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS The predominant histological subtype (73%) was marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). Common lesion sites were the gastrointestinal tract (GIT; 33%), skin (26%), and orbit (21%). The majority of patients (88%) presented with stage I/II disease. Thirty-three (20%) lesions were treated with reduced-dose RT (≤30.6 Gy) and 148 lesions (80%) with conventional-dose RT (>30.6 Gy), with an overall median dose of 39.6 Gy (range 4-63). The median follow-up period was 72 months. The 10-year local control (LC), Progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) rates were 96, 65, and 82%, respectively. Higher overall response rate (ORR; 98% vs. 94%, p = 0.001) and complete response rate (CRR; 95% vs. 73%, p = 0.001) were observed in patients treated with conventional-dose regimens than in those treated with reduced-dose regimens. Ten-year PFS (p = 0.90) and OS (p = 0.40) was similar between the two dose groups. RT was well tolerated in both dose groups, with no grade 4/5 toxicities. In the multivariate analysis, RT dose and timing (upfront or salvage) were related to LC, whereas age, histology, and complete response (CR) to RT were associated with PFS. Patient age and radiation field size impacted OS. CONCLUSION RT is an effective and curative local treatment for early-stage FL and MZL at conventional and reduced radiation doses. Conventional-doses seems to be associated with local response improvement, without significant differences in PFS rates. Age, histology, and response to RT may influence the PFS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We report our experience in treating patients with primary breast extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) to better elucidate the natural history and optimal treatment approach for these patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with localized primary breast MALT lymphoma treated between 1995 and 2016 were included. Disease-related endpoints including progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed. RESULTS Eleven patients met inclusion criteria; all patients were women with a median age of 62 years (range, 42-75 years). Most (73%) patients presented with stage I disease, and most (73%) patients were treated initially treated with radiation therapy (RT). Local control following RT was 100%; all patients with progression following RT experienced distant relapse. Additionally, none of the 3 patients treated with ultra-low-dose RT (4 Gy) experienced subsequent progression (local or distant). Six (55%) patients progressed after initial therapy, of whom 5 received initial RT; the 5-year PFS after initial therapy was 60%. Salvage systemic therapy was utilized in all patients with progression, with 5 of 6 patients receiving single-agent rituximab. Of the patients treated with salvage therapy, only 1 experienced second relapse, with a 5-year PFS of 100% after salvage systemic therapy. With a median follow-up of 8 years, there were no deaths in the cohort. CONCLUSIONS Patients with primary breast MALT lymphoma achieve excellent outcomes. Initial RT affords local control, and although subsequent distant progression is common, salvage rituximab yields high rates of PFS.

Abstract
PURPOSE Long-term impact of stage-adapted field reduction in a large cohort of gastric marginal zone lymphoma (gMZL) patients treated conservatively with curative radiation therapy (RT). PATIENTS AND METHODS Prospective analysis of paper records of 290 patients with stage IE-IIE gMZL, treated in 78 radiotherapeutic institutions in Germany from 1992-2013. Stage-adapted radiation fields decreased from extended field (EF) to involved field (IF) over the course of three consecutive prospective trials of the German Study Group on Gastrointestinal Lymphoma (DSGL). Treatment results were compared between the three cohorts. RESULTS Overall collective with median age of 60 years, slight male predominance (m:f = 1.1:1) and ratio of disease stage I:stage II = 2.1:1. Median follow-up 6.4 years in total: 13.0 years in the first gastrointestinal study (GIT 1992), 8.2 years in the second (GIT 1996) and 4.7 years in the third study (DSGL 01/2003). Stage-adapted radiation field decrease together with further technological development led to reduced relative frequencies of acute/chronic adverse effects and until now was accompanied by lower disease recurrence. The third study design with smallest field size (IF in stage I, locoregional EF in stage II) achieved the best survival outcome at the 5‑year follow-up (overall survival 92.7%, event-free survival 89.5% and lymphoma-specific survival 100.0%). Disease relapse observed in 10 patients. Cumulative incidence of disease-specific death was 1.7% of the followed patients. Primary disease stage associated with lymphoma-specific survival. CONCLUSION Stage-adapted reduction towards IF in gMZL resulted in favorable adverse effects, local control and survival rates. These results support further decreases in modern RT of gMZL.

Outcomes After Reduced-Dose Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy for Gastric Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) Lymphoma. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2019; 104:447-455. [PMID: 30769175 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijrobp.2019.02.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2018] [Revised: 01/29/2019] [Accepted: 02/04/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE In patients with gastric extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, the standard radiation therapy (RT) dose is ≥30 Gy. We report the outcome of patients treated with reduced dose 24 Gy compared with those treated with ≥30 Gy. METHODS AND MATERIALS We reviewed results from 32 patients who received a diagnosis of gastric MALT lymphoma between 2007 and 2017 who were treated with involved site RT using intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Response to therapy was based on post-RT endoscopic biopsy. Freedom from local treatment failure (FFLTF), freedom from treatment failure (FFTF), and overall survival (OS) outcomes were determined. RESULTS The median age of patients at diagnosis was 58 years. Therapy for MALT was given prior to RT in 14 patients with residual biopsy proven disease documented in all cases (anti-microbial, n=11; rituximab, n=2; rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, n=1). One patient received RT (36 Gy) and concurrent rituximab. The median RT dose was 30 Gy; it was 30 to 36 Gy in 66% of patients (n = 21) and 24 Gy in 34% of patients (n = 11). Post-RT biopsy documented a complete response in all patients. Failures occurred in the stomach and duodenum, respectively, at 3.6 and 4.5 years, after 30 Gy. At a median follow-up of 55.2 months (73.8 for ≥30 Gy compared with 28.7 for 24 Gy; P < .001), the 2-year FFLTF, FFTF, and OS were 100%, 100%, and 97%, respectively. No association was found between the lower (24-Gy) dose and FFLTF (P = .819), FFTF (P = .819), or OS (P = .469). CONCLUSIONS Contemporary RT with involved site targeting using IMRT is associated with high complete response rates for patients with gastric MALT lymphoma, even using reduced doses of 24 Gy. Additional follow-up and increased patient numbers are required to confirm equivalent disease control.

Uptake of [ 18F]fluorodeoxyglucose in initial positron-emission tomography predicts survival in MALT lymphoma. Blood Adv 2019; 2:649-655. [PMID: 29563121 DOI: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2017013698] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2017] [Accepted: 02/16/2018] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
The role of [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron-emission tomography (PET) in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) of marginal zone lymphoma remains poorly defined. We correlated initial PET with pathology, clinical factors, and outcome. From January 2001 to July 2012, 173 MALT lymphoma patients with a biopsied lesion identified on PET within 90 days of tissue biopsy were analyzed. PET positivity and intensity of FDG uptake were correlated with clinical factors and patient outcome. Among 173 accrued cases, biopsied site was PET avid in 123 patients (71%); median standardized uptake value (SUV) was 6.0 (range: 0.7-28.0), and SUV >10.0 in 20 patients (16%). PET avidity varied by organ sites. PET positivity correlated with higher International Prognostic Index, but not with 5-year overall survival (OS; 96% vs 88%, PET negative vs positive, P = .229) or 5-year progression-free survival (67% vs 56%, P = .493). SUV was an independent prognostic factor of OS, and an increased SUV was associated with a decreasing 5-year OS. Patients who presented with SUV ≥10 had a higher rate of subsequent large cell transformation (20% vs 5%, P = .035) and inferior OS (78% vs 92%, P = .008). The exact role of FDG PET in the management of MALT lymphoma, beyond initial staging, remains to be defined.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is an uncommon mesenchymal tumor, and has been shown to be associated with synchronous or metachronous second malignancies. Rare cases of coincident GIST and non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) have been reported previously. Here, we report two cases of GIST and coincident primary breast lymphoma, an uncommon subtype of extranodal NHL. We propose that the exceedingly low likelihood of both these cancers occurring in these two patients by chance warrants examination for possible common oncogenic pathways in these lesions, possibly involving shared anti-apoptotic mechanisms. Further research is vital to elucidate common oncogenic pathways between such rare lesions.

Abstract
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is an indolent lymphoma with good prognosis and variable fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18 F-FDG) avidity. Many possible prognostic factors have been investigated with controversial results, but the possible prognostic role of 18 F-FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) remains unclear. Our aim was to evaluate the prognostic impact of qualitative and semiquantitative baseline PET/CT parameters on outcome of MALT lymphoma. We retrospectively enrolled 161 patients with histologically confirmed MALT lymphoma who underwent 18 F-FDG PET/CT before any treatment. PET images were qualitatively and semiquantitatively analyzed by measuring the maximum standardized uptake value body weight (SUVbw), lean body mass (SUVlbm), body surface area (SUVbsa), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG). The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) times. Cox regression models were performed to determine the relation between PET/CT features and OS and PFS. Ninety-eight patients had positive 18 F-FDG PET/CT showing 18 F-FDG uptake (mean SUVbw, 10.1; SUVlbm, 7.2; SUVbsa, 2.7; MTV, 88.8; and TLG, 526); the remaining 63 were not 18 F-FDG avid. 18 F-FDG avidity was significantly correlated with tumor size and Ki-67 score. Relapse/progression of disease occurred in 47 patients with an average time of 40.2 months; death occurred in 12 patients with an average of 59 months. At a median follow-up of 62 months, median PFS and OS were 52 and 62 months, respectively. Advanced tumor stage and extragastric site were demonstrated to be independent prognostic factors for PFS, while only tumor stage for OS. Instead, PET/CT parameters were not related to survival, despite positive correlation at univariate analysis between MTV and TLG with PFS and positive PET/CT with PFS and OS. In conclusion, a 61% rate of PET avidity in biopsy-confirmed MALT lymphoma was found, and it was correlated with tumor size and Ki-67 score. Only tumor stage and localization were independently correlated with PFS and OS.

Abstract
Marginal zone lymphomas (MZLs) consist of a diverse family of malignancies, which are derived from B-cells. The disease subtypes are recognized extranodal, nodal, and splenic MZLs. The disease characteristics, clinical course, and treatment vary considerably based on the site of involvement. In 2017, the US Food and Drug Administration approved ibrutinib, a first in class Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor that revolutionized the care of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients; for, the treatment of relapsed/refractory MZL based on pivotal open-label Phase II trial demonstrated an overall response rate of 48%, with a complete response rate of 3%, median progression-free survival of 14.2 months, and median overall survival not yet reached at a median follow-up of 19.4 months. In this review, we aim to summarize the current conundrums in the management of MZL and the evolving role of ibrutinib in the treatment of MZL.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of the study is to summarize the current conundrums in the management of marginal zone lymphomas (MZL). RECENT FINDINGS In 2017, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved ibrutinib, a first in class Bruton Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor, for the treatment of relapsed/refractory MZL based on pivotal open-label phase II trial demonstrating an overall response rates of 48%. Clinical trials design utilizing chemotherapy-free regimens for relapsed/refractory disease are gaining popularity. Recent studies have identified multiple genetic biomarkers that helped characterize and prognosticate different subtypes of MZL. MZLs are heterogeneous, mostly indolent, malignancies derived from B lymphocytes. Three disease subtypes are recognized, extranodal, nodal, and splenic. The disease characteristics, clinical picture, and treatment algorithms vary considerably based on subtype and site of involvement. Recent discoveries have enhanced our knowledge of the pathogenesis of MZLs leading to development of more accurate prognostic models as well as novel targeted systemic therapies.

Abstract
Background Localized early-stage extra-nodal marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) presents with heterogeneous organ involvement and is treated with various modalities, including resection, radiotherapy, and systemic therapy. We report the long-term outcome of a large cohort of extra-nodal MZL and assess the impact of patient and disease characteristics, organ site, and treatment strategy on disease control and survival. Patients and methods We identified 487 consecutive patients with stage IE or IIE MZL referred between 1992 and 2012 to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Pathology was reviewed by hematopathologists at our institution. Patient and disease factors as well as treatment types were analyzed for association with relapse-free survival, overall survival, and cumulative incidence of relapse. Results Median follow-up after treatment was 4.7 years. Five-year relapse-free survival and overall survival were 60% and 89%, respectively. Cumulative incidence of disease-specific death at 5 years was 1.3%. Radiotherapy alone was the initial treatment in 50% of patients, followed by surgical resection (30%), observation (8%), immunotherapy (4%), and chemotherapy (2%). Initial treatment type, primary disease site, and number of involved sites were significant factors in multivariable analysis of relapse (all P < 0.05). When compared with stomach, MZL originating in other disease sites (HR > 2.0, P ≤ 0.001), except for thyroid, had higher risk of relapse. Strategies such as antibiotics or topical therapies were associated with higher risk of relapse when compared with radiation therapy (P < 0.001). Crude rate of transformation to pathologically confirmed large-cell lymphoma was 2% (11 patients). Conclusion Overall and cause-specific survival are high in early-stage extra-nodal MZL. Curative-intent treatment led to fewer relapses and reduced the need for salvage. Stomach cases had lower risk of relapse than other anatomic primary sites. This study supports the use of local therapies to treat stage IE and IIE MZL.

Abstract
Lymphomas can affect any organ in the body, present with a wide range of symptoms, and be seen by primary care physicians and physicians from most specialties. They are traditionally divided into Hodgkin's lymphoma (which accounts for about 10% of all lymphomas) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which is the topic of this Seminar. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma represents a wide spectrum of illnesses that vary from the most indolent to the most aggressive malignancies. They arise from lymphocytes that are at various stages of development, and the characteristics of the specific lymphoma subtype reflect those of the cell from which they originated. Since this topic was last reviewed in The Lancet in 2012, advances in understanding the biology and genetics of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the availability of new diagnostic methods and therapies have improved our ability to manage patients with this disorder.

Abstract
The Oncology Grand Rounds series is designed to place original reports published in the Journal into clinical context. A case presentation is followed by a description of diagnostic and management challenges, a review of the relevant literature, and a summary of the authors’ suggested management approaches. The goal of this series is to help readers better understand how to apply the results of key studies, including those published in Journal of Clinical Oncology, to patients seen in their own clinical practice. A 51-year-old healthy female with good performance status presented for gynecologic surgery for a benign condition. A preprocedure chest x-ray showed a right lower lobe infiltrate. A subsequent computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest with contrast revealed a large consolidative right lower lobe mass with surrounding inflammation ( Fig 1A ). Bronchoscopy with biopsy revealed a low-grade lymphoma with the following immunophenotype: CD45+, CD20+, BCL2+, CD10 negative, CD5 negative, cyclin D1 negative, and Ki-67 index of less than 5%. Morphology and immunohistochemistry were most consistent with pulmonary extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (ENMZL; Fig 2 ). The patient was asymptomatic and denied fevers, sweats, weight loss, shortness of breath or dyspnea on exertion, or cough. Her history was notable for exposure to parrots over several months before presentation. Complete staging with a CT of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis with contrast redemonstrated disease that was localized to the chest with mild compression of the pulmonary vasculature but no other evidence of lymphoma. She was referred to discuss management of stage IAE pulmonary ENMZL lymphoma.
