Purpose The prognostic effect of isolated infradiaphragmatic involvement in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is controversial, and there are little data about patients treated with current therapies. Therefore, we performed a risk factor analysis to focus on isolated nodal infradiaphragmatic disease in patients treated within the German Hodgkin Study Group trials HD13 (clinical trial information: ISRCTN63474366) and HD14 (clinical trial information: ISRCTN04761296) for early-stage HL. Patients and Methods Characteristics and outcomes of patients who had infradiaphragmatic HL were compared with patients who had supradiaphragmatic disease. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated according to Kaplan-Meier methods and were compared between groups using the log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards regression, which was also applied for multivariable analyses that adjusted for relevant baseline characteristics. Results Of 2,903 qualified patients, 223 (7.7%) were diagnosed with isolated nodal infradiaphragmatic disease. In general, these patients were older, had a poorer performance status, were more often male, and had the nodular sclerosis subtype less often than those with supradiaphragmatic disease. After a median follow-up time of 51 months, PFS and OS were significantly worse in patients with infradiaphragmatic disease (5-year PFS and OS, 80.1% and 91.5% v 91.2% and 97.6% in patients with supradiaphragmatic disease; each P < .001). In multivariable analyses, infradiaphragmatic HL remained a significant risk factor in terms of PFS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.5; 95% CI, 1.04 to 2.2; P = .03) and OS (HR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.2 to 3.5; P = .01). However, inferior PFS and OS could not be observed among those patients treated with the more intensive chemotherapy (two cycles of doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine [ABVD] in HD13, and two cycles of escalated bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone [BEACOPP] plus two cycles of ABVD in HD14; all patients received 30 Gy of involved-field radiotherapy). Conclusion Early-stage HL that presents with infradiaphragmatic disease only represents a distinct patient group with an inferior outcome. However, this adverse outcome can be outweighed by appropriate combined modality treatment.
目的 在霍奇金淋巴瘤(HL)中,膈下孤立受累的预后影响存在争议,而且关于接受当前治疗的患者的数据很少。因此,我们进行了一项风险因素分析,重点关注在德国 Hodgkin 研究组试验 HD13(临床试验信息:ISRCTN63474366)和 HD14(临床试验信息:ISRCTN04761296)中接受治疗的早期 HL 患者的膈下孤立性结内疾病。将膈下 HL 患者的特征和结局与膈上疾病患者进行比较。无进展生存期(PFS)和总生存期(OS)根据 Kaplan-Meier 方法进行估计,并使用对数秩检验和 Cox 比例风险回归比较组间差异,同时还应用多变量分析调整相关基线特征。
结果 在 2903 名合格患者中,223 名(7.7%)被诊断为膈下结内孤立性疾病。一般来说,这些患者年龄较大,表现状态较差,男性较多,结节性硬化型较少。中位随访时间为 51 个月后,膈下疾病患者的 PFS 和 OS 明显较差(5 年 PFS 和 OS,膈下疾病患者为 80.1%和 91.5%,膈上疾病患者为 91.2%和 97.6%;均 P<0.001)。在多变量分析中,膈下 HL 仍然是 PFS(风险比[HR],1.5;95%置信区间,1.04 至 2.2;P=0.03)和 OS(HR,2.0;95%置信区间,1.2 至 3.5;P=0.01)方面的显著危险因素。然而,在接受更强化化疗(HD13 中每 2 周期阿霉素、博来霉素、长春新碱和达卡巴嗪[ABVD],HD14 中每 2 周期博来霉素、依托泊苷、阿霉素、环磷酰胺、长春新碱、丙卡巴肼和泼尼松[BEACOPP]加 2 周期 ABVD])的患者中,并未观察到较差的 PFS 和 OS。
结论 仅表现为膈下疾病的早期 HL 代表一个具有不良结局的独特患者群体。然而,通过适当的联合治疗模式可以克服这种不良预后。
