Richter syndrome (RS) is recognized as the development of a secondary and aggressive lymphoma during the clinical course of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL). Most of such histological transformations are from RS to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL-RS, 90%) and Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL-RS, 10%). Histopathological examination is a prerequisite for diagnosis. It is crucial to assess the relationship between the RS clone and the underlying CLL/SLL because clonally related DLBCL-RS has a poor outcome, while clonally unrelated cases have a prognosis similar to de novo DLBCL. An anti-CD20 antibody-based immunochemotherapy is hitherto the frontline treatment of choice for DLBCL-RS; nonetheless, the results are unsatisfactory. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation should be offered to younger and fit patients as a consolidative treatment; however, the majority of the patients may not be qualified for this procedure. The HL-RS transformation has better outcomes than those of DLBCL-RS and can effectively be treated by the adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine regimen. Although novel agents are currently being investigated for RS, immunochemotherapy nevertheless remains a standard treatment for DLBCL-RS.
里氏综合征(RS)被认为是慢性淋巴细胞白血病/小淋巴细胞淋巴瘤(CLL/SLL)临床病程中继发的侵袭性淋巴瘤。大多数此类组织学转化是从RS转化为弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL-RS,90%)和霍奇金淋巴瘤(HL-RS,10%)。组织病理学检查是诊断的前提条件。评估RS克隆与潜在的CLL/SLL之间的关系至关重要,因为克隆相关的DLBCL-RS预后较差,而克隆无关的病例预后与原发性DLBCL相似。基于抗CD20抗体的免疫化疗是迄今为止DLBCL-RS的一线首选治疗方法;然而,结果并不令人满意。对于年轻且身体状况良好的患者,应提供异基因干细胞移植作为巩固治疗;然而,大多数患者可能不符合该治疗程序的条件。HL-RS转化的预后比DLBCL-RS更好,并且可以通过阿霉素、博来霉素、长春花碱和达卡巴嗪方案有效治疗。尽管目前正在对RS进行新型药物研究,但免疫化疗仍然是DLBCL-RS的标准治疗方法。
