Advances in Diagnosis and Treatment for Nodal and Gastrointestinal Follicular...semualkaira
Globally, follicular lymphoma (FL) is the most common type of
indolent B cell lymphoma (BCL). Recently, the incidence of FL has
increased in Europe, the USA, and Asia, with a possible increase in
gastrointestinal FL incidence. Limited knowledge of FL molecular
biology and novel therapeutics among gastroenterologists has
resulted in delegating the treatment to hematologists. To address
this limitation
Mucosal Lymphoid Proliferation-Extra Nodal Marginal Zone LymphomaCrimsonpublishersTTEH
A common category of extra-nodal marginal zone lymphoma is cogitated by malignant transformation of the mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). MALT lymphomas enunciate an estimated 70% instances of marginal zone lymphoma per annum and nearly 5% of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Extra-nodal locations such as gastric and pulmonary tissue, breast, small intestine, salivary gland, thyroid and ocular adnexa are implicated. MALT lymphoma is further categorized intoa) gastric lymphoma, frequently involving a site such as the stomach and b) non-gastric lymphoma devoid of an incrimination of the stomach, though adjunctive sites of the intestinal tract may be incriminated [1,2].
an update of lymphoma classification for practicing pathologists, hematologists, oncologists, residents, and fellows; important for the prognosis and treatment of lymphoma patients.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

5. Association with infectious agents
MALT lymphomas usually occur in tissues naturally devoid of MALT
Develop in a context of chronic inflammation induced by infections or autoimmune
disorders.
Epidemiological, biological and therapeutic studies have shown a strong link
between Helicobacter pylori infection and gastric MALT lymphoma.
Growth signals provided by infiltrating H. pylori-specific T cells activation of
the B-cell receptor (BCR) and nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) signaling pathways
gastric MALT lymphoma development.
6. Molecular Alterations
Several recurrent chromosomal translocations are associated with MALT lymphomas. They are
mutually exclusive, and their relative frequencies vary with the primary site of involvement.
The most frequent in the GI tract is the t(11;18)(q21;q21)/BIRC3–MALT1 translocation, found
in approximately 25% of gastric and 10-50% of intestinal MALT LYMPHOMAS
Overexpression of MALT1, which is an important mediator of activation of the canonical and
non-canonical NF-kB pathways.
• Other infrequent translocations
t(14;18)(q32;q21)/IGHMALT1,
t(1;14)(p22;q32)/IGH–BCL10, and
t(3;14) (p14.1;q32)/IGH–FOXP1
• In gastric MALT lymphomas, the t(11;18)(q21;q21) translocation is more prevalent in H. pylori-
negative cases, correlates with higher-stage disease, and is a factor in the poor response to
alkylating agents.
• Conversely, t(11;18)-positive MALT lymphomas are less prone to transformation to DLBCL.
7. • Small study suggested that cases with t(1;14) or strong nuclear expression of bcl-
10 most likely do not respond to H. pylori eradication.
• Other aberrations variably reported in gastric MALT lymphoma deletions of
TNFAIP3/A20 (6q23), which encodes an inhibitor of NF-kB, and trisomies/gains of
chromosomes 3, 8, and 18
• Recurrent mutations in genes involved in activation of NF-kB signalling pathways,
such as TRAF3 (33%) and TNFAIP3 (25%), were identified, and were mutually
exclusive with the BIRC3–MALT1 translocation.
• MALT lymphoma essentially lacks mutations in MYD88, CD79A,o r CARD11, which
are frequently found in other B-cell lymphomas characterised by constitutive NF-kB
activation.
• Mutations in GPR34 and PIK3CD, which are frequently found in MALT lymphomas of
the salivary glands and thyroid, have not been detected in gastric MALT
lymphomas.
• Mutations are also found in
genes related to B-cell differentiation, notably NOTCH1 (11–25%)
epigenetic modifications (CIITA, TBL1XR1, and TET2
in tumour suppressor genes.
8. The lymphoma cells are positive for pan-B-cell antigens (CD19, CD20, CD79a, and
PAX5), negative for germinal center markers; aberrant expression of CD43.
Immune receptor translocation-associated protein 1 (IRTA1) – a
useful biomarker for MALT lymphomas and distinguish them from other small
B-cell lymphomas.
IRTA1 expression has been reported in 40% to >90% of MALT lymphomas,
Other small B-cell lymphomas are usually IRTA1-negative
IRTA1 belongs to a family of immunoglobulin-like proteins that mediate B-cell
immune responses,
It is normally expressed in benign monocytoid B cells, some marginal zone
cells, and intraepithelial B cells.
Newer IHC
10. Preneoplastic lesions (intestinal metaplasia, atrophic gastritis, and dysplasia) are
quite common.
A six-fold increased risk for gastric adenocarcinoma have been reported in
patients with gastric MALT lymphoma,
Follow- up biopsies, not only
to assess the lymphoid infiltrates
to screen for (pre)neoplastic epithelial lesions.
Irrespective of stage, H. pylori eradication is the initial treatment of choice
It is recommended that follow- up biopsies 2–3 months after treatment and
subsequently twice yearly for 2 years.
11. Follicular Lymphoma [FL]
DUODENAL TYPE
Low grade
Always Gr I or II
Indolent course
Good prognosis
PRIMARY GIT LYMPHOMA
FL developing elsewhere along the GI tract
12. Primary intestinal FL Duodenal-type FL
Localization Small and large
Intestine. Rare in the stomach.
Duodenum (D2);
involvement of the jejunum or
ileum may occur.
Macroscopy Infiltrative, usually transmural regional
LN involvement
Lymphomatous polyposis
Polypoid lesions, mucosa
and submucosa, no LN
involvement
Presenting features Middle-aged (50 years) Abdominal
discomfort, obstruction, bleeding
Slightly older (60 years)
Asymptomatic (incidental
endoscopic finding) or
abdominal discomfort
Pathology Centrocytes and centroblasts CD20+ CD10+ bcl-2+ bcl-6+ Most cases
t(14;18)+ (IGH–BCL2)
Grade 1–2 > grade 3 bcl-6 and CD10
can be down-regulated
All cases grade 1–2
CD21+ FDCs at the
periphery of the
nodules, preferential IgA
expression
13. Molecular Alterations
Comparison of the mutational landscapes of duodenal-type FL and
nodal FL showed no significant differences in the mutation rates of the
most recurrently altered genes CREBBP, TNFRSF14/HVEM,
and EZH2.
Fewer biallelic or multiple mutations in the histone methyltransferase
KMT2D/MLL2 gene.
High frequency of mutations in HVCN1 and EEF1A1,
HVCN1 mutation were reported to correlate with longer progression
free survival in patients with systemic FL.
14. Tumor microenvironment
Selective usage of the IGHV4 gene segment in most cases indicates
an antigen-driven mechanism of lymphomagenesis.
Furthermore, gene expression analyses have shown a distinct
immune microenvironment profile in duodenal-type FL,
characterized by –
Chronic inflammation gene signature
Overexpression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines CXCL6,
TNFSF15, CCL11, CXCL1, CCL21, and CCL20 with its ligand CCR6
recruitment of Th17 and activated CD4+ T-helper cells.
15. MCL and SLL
The genomic landscape of MCL is heterogeneous, and comprises
mutations in genes involved in DNA damage response (ATM and TP53)
Notch signaling (NOTCH1 and NOTCH2)
Genes affecting RNA metabolism and splicing (EWSR1, DAZAP1, and HNRNPH1).
Mutations in TP53, SMARCA4, CELSR3, CCND1 and KMT2D have been found to
negatively affect the response to venetoclax-based therapies.
The lymphoma cells in SLL are CD20+ (often with heterogeneous or weak expression),
CD5+, CD23+, CD43+, cyclin D1, and lymphoid enhancer binding factor 1 (LEF1)+ and
CD200+
Secondary lymphoid follicles or lymphoepithelial lesions typical of MALT lymphoma are
usually not seen.
17. The diagnostic approach to high-grade B-cell lymphomas. ABC, activated B-cell-like; GCB, germinal centre B-cell-like;
HGBCL-DH/TH, high-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements (double-hit/triple-hit).
HGBCL, NOS, high-grade B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified.
*Demonstration of a MYC rearrangement may not be mandatory in cases with typical morphology and
immunophenotype.
18. In the stomach, the non-GCB/activated cases are more common.
intestinal DLBCLs are more often of the GCB type.
Those transformed from MALT lymphomas are more often CD10– and bcl-2–, but
usually express bcl-6.
19. It is mandatory, according to WHO recommendations, that DLBCL, NOS be
classified into ‘germinal centre B-cell-like (GCB)’ and ‘non-GCB’ or ‘activated B-
cell like (ABC)’ subtypes.
Methods based on mRNA expression profiling that are applicable to routinely
processed samples are also available, e.g. The Lymph2Cx assay or multiplex
ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) assay
Recently, two seminal studies using a multiplatform genomic approach,
identified a genetic subgroup defined by
the association of structural alterations of BCL6 and NOTCH2 mutations,
encompassing both non-GCB and GCB gene expression signatures, which may be
related to marginal zone lymphomas.
In a recent retrospective study from China, it was found that a positive H. pylori
status in gastric DLBCL was associated with
a higher proportion of stage I – II disease
a predictor of less aggressive behavior
better outcome.
22. Markedly less frequent than B-cell lymphomas.
Majority develop in the intestine, a small proportion of the cases may arise in or disseminate to the
stomach, duodenum or, uncommonly oesophagus.
Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL), types I and II, have been reclassified as
I. EATL, [formerly type I EATL]
II. Monomorphic Epitheliotropic Intestinal T-cell lymphoma (MEITL), [formerly type II EATL]
Intestinal T-cell lymphoma, NOS cases of primary intestinal T-cell lymphoma not meeting the
criteria for either EATL or MEITL.
Indolent T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder of the GI tract (ITLDP) – a newly recognised group
of clonal monomorphic proliferations of small T cells showing a superficial/mucosal distribution
along the GI tract.
NK-cell enteropathy (NKCE) – a rare indolent disorder derived from NK cells.
Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTCL), can also primarily or secondarily involve
the GI tract.
23. Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma EATL
Most common form of primary intestinal T-cell lymphoma,
Derived from intraepithelial T cells
Occurs in individuals with coeliac disease – gluten-sensitive
enteropathy.
The prevalence is highest in Europe, and especially northern
Europe
Extremely rare in Asia.
The median age at presentation is >60 years – typically have a
history of CD or refractory CD (RCD)
May arise de novo – better outcome.
24. Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL)
Presents as ulcerative lesions or tumour
masses.
composed of pleomorphic, medium-
sized to large, occasionally anaplastic,
lymphoid cells with a high mitotic rate.
A mixed inflammatory infiltrate is
typically present, usually rich in
histiocytes and eosinophils, and may
sometimes obscure the lymphoma cells.
Angiocentricity and angioinvasion can
lead to extensive necrosis.
Enteropathic features [villous atrophy,
crypt hyperplasia, and increased
intraepithelial lymphocytosis (IEL)] may
be seen in the adjacent or distant
mucosa.
Monomorphic Epitheliotropic Intestinal T-
cell lymphoma (MEITL)
Presents as an ulcerated, sometimes bulky, mass.
Monotonous, small to medium-sized lymphoid cells
with pale cytoplasm, dispersed chromatin, and
inconspicuous nucleoli. Some cases show some
pleomorphism
No prominent inflammatory infiltrate, and
necrosis is limited to the surface.
The peritumoral mucosa shows prominent
epitheliotropism lesser involvement of the
submucosa and muscularis propria.
The distant mucosa may contain patchy foci with
increased IEL without villous atrophy
25. INDOLENT T - CELL LYMPHOPROLIFERATIVE
DISORDER ( I T L P D ) OF THE GI TRACT
26. New provisional entity defined as a clonal T-cell lympho-proliferation involving the GI
mucosa, usually following a chronic and indolent course.
Macroscopically – nodules, mucosal polyps, fissures, and erosions. Some cases have
mucosal anomalies.
Histologically, ITLPD features a non-destructive proliferation of small, monomorphic
lymphocytes, which may infiltrate the muscularis mucosae or submucosa, and is
associated with crypt hyperplasia.
Mitoses and apoptosis are both inconspicuous
Vascular invasion and necrosis are absent
Villous atrophy is infrequent
ITLPD is positive for CD3, CD2, and TCRβF1.
A recent study investigating the cell of origin found that
The CD4+ and double-positive cases featured Th1 (T-bet+), Th2 (GATA3+) or
hybrid Th1/Th2 (T-bet+ GATA3+) profiles
Whereas the majority of CD8+ cases and the double-negative cases showed a
Th2-polarised (GATA3+) phenotype.
27. The neoplastic cells are CD2+ CD3+ CD4
CD5 CD7+ CD8/+ CD56- with an
activated cytotoxic phenotype and a high
Ki67 index.
CD30 is usually expressed by a large
proportion of cells.
The majority of the cases are negative for
T-cell receptor (TCR) expression (‘TCR-
silent’);
Expression of CD103 (human mucosal
lymphocyte antigen 1, integrin aEb7),
which is found in normal intraepithelial
lymphocytes, is often at least partially
preserved.
Overexpression of p53 is seen in many
cases.
The tumor cells are typically CD2+, CD3+, CD7+,
CD4, and CD5.
Most cases are positive for CD8, CD56, and TIA1.
Granzyme B is detected in two-thirds of the cases.
Aberrant expression of CD20 or other B-cell
antigens in 20% of the cases
CD30 is mostly negative.
Either TCRαβ or TCRγδ is usually expressed,
whereas a small subset are TCR silent.
MATK and SETD2-disruptive mutations or
deletions, - reported as a characteristic marker in
the majority of the cases.
A recent study identified spleen tyrosine kinase
(SYK) as a distinctive marker for MEITL (95%
versus 0% in EATL).
EBER may be seen in scattered B cells, but absent
in the neoplastic T cells.
Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma
(EATL)
Monomorphic Epitheliotropic Intestinal T-cell
lymphoma (MEITL)
28. NKCE (N K - C E L L E N T E R O P A T H Y)
Introduced in 2011 to designate indolent GI mucosal lymphoproliferations derived
from NK cells, with a benign course and no clinicopathological evidence to
substantiate NK-cell lymphoma.
an atypical diffuse lymphoid infiltrate composed of medium-sized to large cells,
with moderate clear or slightly eosinophilic cytoplasm, fine nuclear chromatin, and
inconspicuous nucleoli. The infiltrate expands the lamina propria, with occasional
epitheliotropism and glandular destruction, but lacks angiocentricity and necrosis.
The atypical cells feature a CD2+/- CD3+ CD4- CD5- CD7+ CD8-/+ CD56+
The Ki67 proliferation index is variable, and is sometimes elevated.
EBV–, which is a major feature distinguishing it from ENKTCL.
All cases lack clonal TR gene rearrangements, consistent with an NK-lineage
derivation.
Recently, a somatic JAK3 mutation consisting of a small inframe deletion in exon 12
was identified in three of 10 NKCE cases.
Other non-recurrent mutations – PTPRS, AURKB, AXL, ERBB4, IGF1R, IK3CB, CUL3,
