Objective: To analyze the clinical features and prognostic factors of primary systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) . Methods: 40 ALCL cases treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University from January 2013 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: ① With a median age of 41 (14-67) years, there were 29 males and 11 females, 36 patients (90.0%) had Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ tumors, 23 patients (57.5%) were in high-intermediate or high international prognostic index (IPI) risk group. 25 patients (62.5%) had B symptoms, such as fever, emaciation and night sweat.38 patients (95.0%) had extranodal invasion, 25 patients (62.5%) had higher LDH level, and 25 patients (62.5%) had high expression of Ki-67 (80% or more) . With 22 ALK(+) patients (55.0%) and 18 ALK(-) patients (45.0%) , there was a significantly difference in the median age of the two groups [29 (14-67) years old vs 51.5 (19-67) years old, P=0.003]. ② All patients received chemotherapy, 18 cases were treated with CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vindesine, prednisone) , 12 cases with ECHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vindesine, prednisone, etoposide) , 10 cases with other treatments and 26 patients (65.0%) obtained complete remission (CR) . ALK(-) (P=0.029, OR=13.458) and Ki-67 expression of 80% or more (P=0.04, OR=14.453) were independent factors of CR rate, the CR rate of ECHOP chemotherapy was higher than CHOP chemotherapy (P=0.026) . ③ LDH level, IPI score, ALK expression and chemotherapy regimen had significantly effect on progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) (P<0.05) . Conclusion: The study shows that primary systemic ALCL usually occurs in males, the average age of ALK(+) patients were younger than ALK(-) patients. Most patients are in stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ with extranodal invasion, more than half of the patients have B symptoms, elevated LDH, and high expression of Ki-67. The expression level of Ki-67, ALK expression, and chemotherapy regimen have prognostic value for CR rate, the LDH level, IPI score, ALK expression and chemotherapy regimen for PFS and OS. ECHOP is a better choice with improved prognosis.
目的: 分析原发系统型间变性大细胞淋巴瘤(ALCL)的临床特征及预后因素。 方法: 回顾性分析2013年1月至2018年12月期间在浙江大学医学院附属第一医院住院治疗的40例ALCL患者的临床资料,总结其临床特征并分析其预后相关因素。 结果: ①40例患者中男29例,女11例,中位年龄41(14~67)岁,Ann Arbor分期Ⅲ~Ⅳ期36例(90.0%),IPI评分中高危、高危23例(57.5%);25例(62.5%)有B症状,发热最为常见,其次为消瘦、盗汗;38例(95.0%)有结外侵犯;25例(62.5%)LDH升高;25例(62.5%)Ki-67≥80%;ALK阳性22例(55.0%),中位年龄29(14~67)岁,ALK阴性18例(45.0%),中位年龄51.5(19~67)岁,年龄差异有统计学意义(P=0.003)。②40例患者均接受化疗,采用CHOP(环磷酰胺+多柔比星+长春地辛+泼尼松)方案18例,ECHOP(依托泊苷+CHOP)方案12例,其他方案10例;26例(65.0%)获得完全缓解(CR),ALK阴性(P=0.029,OR=13.458)和Ki-67≥80%(P=0.04,OR=14.453)是CR的独立影响因素,ECHOP方案的CR率高于CHOP方案[83.3%(10/12)对38.9%(7/18),P=0.026]。③LDH水平、IPI评分、ALK表达情况以及化疗方案的选择对无进展生存(PFS)和总生存(OS)影响有统计学意义(P<0.05)。 结论: ALCL发病男性居多,青少年至中老年均有发病,ALK阳性中年轻患者居多,诊断时临床分期晚,多数患者有结外侵犯,半数以上患者有B症状、LDH升高、Ki-67高表达;ALK表达与否、Ki-67表达水平以及化疗方案的选择可影响疗效,LDH水平、IPI评分、ALK表达与否以及化疗方案的选择可影响PFS和OS;ECHOP是较优的化疗方案,可改善预后。.
