Useful prognostic markers for patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) have been reported. To identify which biomarker best predicts the prognosis of patients with DLBCL, we performed a retrospective study that included 319 DLBCL patients who had received rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone (R-CHOP) therapy between 2003 and 2012. We assessed the prognostic significance of six biomarkers [lactate dehydrogenase, soluble interleukin-2 receptor, thymidine kinase activity, beta-2 microglobulin (B2M), C-reactive protein, and ferritin] and representative clinical characteristics using progression-free survival (PFS) as the endpoint. The study group included 181 men and 138 women with a median age of 63 years (range, 22-89 years). In a multivariate analysis, the serum B2M level most strongly correlated with PFS (hazard ratio, 2.11; P=0.04). In a univariate analysis, patients with serum B2M levels >1.75μg/mL (n=210) had a worse 3-year PFS rate (71.2%) than those with B2M levels <1.75μg/mL (n=109; 90.0%). Therefore, serum B2M level at the time of diagnosis is a useful prognostic indicator in DLBCL patients receiving R-CHOP.
已有关于弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)患者的有用预后标志物的报道。为了确定哪种生物标志物能最好地预测DLBCL患者的预后,我们进行了一项回顾性研究,该研究纳入了2003年至2012年间接受利妥昔单抗、环磷酰胺、阿霉素、长春新碱和泼尼松(R-CHOP)治疗的319例DLBCL患者。我们以无进展生存期(PFS)为终点,评估了六种生物标志物[乳酸脱氢酶、可溶性白细胞介素-2受体、胸苷激酶活性、β2微球蛋白(B2M)、C反应蛋白和铁蛋白]以及代表性临床特征的预后意义。研究组包括181名男性和138名女性,中位年龄为63岁(范围22-89岁)。在多变量分析中,血清B2M水平与PFS的相关性最强(风险比,2.11;P=0.04)。在单变量分析中,血清B2M水平>1.75μg/mL的患者(n=210)3年PFS率(71.2%)低于B2M水平<1.75μg/mL的患者(n=109;90.0%)。因此,诊断时的血清B2M水平是接受R-CHOP治疗的DLBCL患者的一个有用的预后指标。
