The evidence is very uncertain about the effect of negative (= good prognosis) or positive (= bad prognosis) interim PET scan results for patients with a Hodgkin's lymphoma on the progression-free survival. Negative interim PET scan results may result in an increase in progression-free survival compared if the adjusted result was measured.
Cutaneous lymphoma, also known as lymphoma cutis, is when lymphoma involves the skin. [1] It is characterized by a proliferation of lymphoid tissue. [2] There are two main classes of lymphomas that affect the skin: [citation needed] Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma; Cutaneous B-cell lymphoma
Occurs in older adults, usually involves lymph nodes, bone marrow and spleen, associated with t(14;18) translocation overexpressing Bcl-2, indolent. Primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma; Mantle cell lymphoma; About 3–4% of lymphomas in adults Lymphocytes of small to intermediate size growing in diffuse pattern CD5 About 50 [35] to 70% [35]
Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma is a rare type of lymphoma that infiltrates the subcutaneous fat but does not involve the skin. There are two subtypes – alpha-beta and gamma-delta. Patients with the gamma-delta subtype have a more aggressive clinical course. [3] It is described as CD3+/CD4-/CD8+, with CD30 and CD56 usually ...
The use of rituximab has been established for the treatment of B-cell–derived hematologic malignancies, including follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). [ 7 ] In addition to cure-directed treatment, people can benefit from self-care to manage symptoms.
Cancer of T cells is termed T-cell lymphoma, and accounts for perhaps one in ten cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. [59] The main forms of T cell lymphoma are: Extranodal T cell lymphoma; Cutaneous T cell lymphomas: Sézary syndrome and Mycosis fungoides; Anaplastic large cell lymphoma; Angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma
Leukemia cutis is the infiltration of neoplastic leukocytes or their precursors into the skin resulting in clinically identifiable cutaneous lesions. [1] This condition may be contrasted with leukemids, which are skin lesions that occur with leukemia, but which are not related to leukemic cell infiltration.
Burkitt lymphoma is a very aggressive cancer, which can quickly metastasize and spread throughout the body if the cancer is not treated quickly. If the patient is left untreated, or if treatment is initiated too late, Burkitt lymphoma can be fatal. [4] Burkitt lymphoma in children often has a better prognosis than the same cancer in an adult.
