The management of primary intestinal diffuse large B cell lymphoma (PI-DLBCL) in elderly patients (aged >60 years) remains controversial. We conducted a retrospective study to assess the efficacy of different treatment strategies and prognostic factors for elderly Chinese patients with PI-DLBCL.
Forty-six untreated elderly patients with PI-DLBCL were included in this retrospective study. Twenty-four patients were treated with surgery (prior to chemotherapy) plus chemotherapy (SCT). The other 22 patients did not undergo surgery before chemotherapy (CT).
Patients treated with SCT had a higher overall response rate of 91.7% than patients receiving CT, but the difference between groups was not significant (=0.581). Regarding survival, SCT resulted in a greater 3-year overall survival (OS) rate (87.3% vs 56.9%, =0.130) and significantly higher 3-year event-free survival (EFS) rate (74.1% vs 27.3%, =0.002) than CT. The univariate analysis showed that male sex, advanced Lugano stage, poor performance status and chemotherapy alone were associated with a shorter EFS. Only the male sex was correlated with a shorter OS. The multivariate analysis showed that sex (=0.040) and treatment strategy (=0.022) were independent prognostic factors for EFS.
Surgery plus chemotherapy produced a better outcome for EFS, but not OS, than chemotherapy alone in elderly Chinese patients with PI-DLBCL.
老年患者(年龄>60岁)原发性肠道弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤(PI-DLBCL)的治疗仍存在争议。我们进行了一项回顾性研究,以评估不同治疗策略对中国老年PI-DLBCL患者的疗效及预后因素。
本回顾性研究纳入了46例未经治疗的老年PI-DLBCL患者。24例患者接受手术(化疗前)加化疗(SCT)。另外22例患者在化疗前未接受手术(CT)。
接受SCT治疗的患者总缓解率为91.7%,高于接受CT治疗的患者,但两组间差异无统计学意义(P=0.581)。在生存方面,SCT组的3年总生存率(OS)更高(87.3%对56.9%,P=0.130),3年无事件生存率(EFS)显著高于CT组(74.1%对27.3%,P=0.002)。单因素分析显示,男性、卢加诺分期晚期、体能状态差和单纯化疗与较短的EFS相关。只有男性与较短的OS相关。多因素分析显示,性别(P=0.040)和治疗策略(P=0.022)是EFS的独立预后因素。
对于中国老年PI-DLBCL患者,手术加化疗在EFS方面的结局优于单纯化疗,但在OS方面并非如此。
