Department of Surgery, Medical Faculty, Rheinisch-Westphalian Technical University, Aachen, Germany.

Published: December 1997

Thirty-one patients with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the stomach were retrospectively investigated. The prognostic factors regarding survival after treatment were determined in an univariate analysis. Twenty-seven of the patients revealed a stage I or II disease (according to the Ann Arbor classification) at the time of operation. The analysis showed no significance for grading, staging, lymph node-, serosa- or splenic involvement of our patients. Significant prognostic factors for survival of gastric Non-Hodgkin lymphomas were age (< 60 years) and resection margins R0 or R1/R2 (p < 0.05). The post-treatment evaluations for prognostic differentation between radical resections, patients with complete response after palliative resection including additional chemotherapy and patients without therapy response showed a significant difference in survival (p < 0.01).

Introduction: Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a rare and aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Several studies have identified prognostic factors (PFs) for disease progression and mortality among adults with BL. However, there is no consensus on risk stratification based on PFs.

Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by the fusion of cervical vertebrae, with a clinical presentation that can vary widely due to genetic and phenotypic diversity. While KFS can occur as an isolated anomaly, it is often associated with other congenital conditions, such as Sprengel deformity, which may present with or without an omovertebral bone, complicating diagnosis and management. This particular case also involves diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Purpose: This study aims to identify and summarize evidence on the effectiveness of exercise-based interventions on muscle mass, muscle strength, functional performance, aerobic capacity, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), feasibility of the interventions, in patients with malignant lymphoma undergoing chemotherapy.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted in six electronic databases and trials registers on November 15, 2023. Peer-reviewed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing exercise intervention with controls/usual care in adults (≥18 years) diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma undergoing chemotherapy were considered for inclusion.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and a sizable fraction of the DLBCL patients presents with advanced, relapsed, and refractory disease, demonstrating poor response to standard chemotherapy regimens. Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) has shown to be clinically effective in refractory DLBCL. We present the case of a patient with DLBCL with [18F]FDG-avid widespread skeletal as well as splenic involvement as poor prognostic extranodal disease on FDG PET/CT.

Department of Nuclear Medicine, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Guoxue Alley, Address: No.37, Chengdu City, Sichuan, 610041, China.

Background: This study aimed to construct a radiomics-based imaging biomarker for the non-invasive identification of transformed follicular lymphoma (t-FL) using PET/CT images.

Methods: A total of 784 follicular lymphoma (FL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and t-FL patients from 5 independent medical centers were included. The unsupervised EMFusion method was applied to fuse PET and CT images.
