ABSTRACT

Background. Primary bone lymphoma (PBL) is a rare malignant tumor. Initial examination aimed at detecting all primary lesions is an indispensable prerequisite for the choice of optimal antitumor treatment. Standard methods of diagnosis (X-ray, CT, and MRI) are not always adequate to measure the real tumor mass. Another well-known characteristic feature of PBL is a challenge in evaluating the effect of its treatment because of residual changes in the bones of most patients. However, the data on using 18F-FDG PET, another method of metabolic imaging, in PBL are rather rare in accessible literature.

Aim. To study the specific use of PET with 18F-FDG at initial examination and efficacy estimation of PBL treatment.

Materials & Methods. The trial included 21 PBL patients who received PET with 18F-FDG at initial examination and a month after the end of treatment. The results of 18F-FDG PET imaging were compared with the data obtained by means of structural diagnostic methods (CT and MRI) and the analysis of biopsy samples with pathologic lesions.

Results. Intensive uptake of 18F-FDG (SUVmax 8.6–40.1, mean SUVmax 23.5), according to PET data, was reported in all patients in those tumor lesions which were identified by the structural diagnostic methods and confirmed by biopsies. Besides, each of 21 cases showed pathologic infiltration of adjacent soft tissues with high metabolic activity. In PET-CT with 18F-FDG 13 further tumor localizations were revealed in 8 (38 %) patients. On completing the therapy, according to CT and MRI data, residual changes were observed in all (n = 21, 100 %) patients. The residual metabolic activity in the involved bones was identified in 13 (62 %) patients (SUVmax 2.91–8.7, mean SUVmax 4.2). In 4 of them the residual lesions were subjected to biopsy. None of 4 cases was reported to show tumors. Only in 1 out of 13 patients with residual metabolic changes a tumor relapse was detected. Overall 10-year survival in the groups of patients with and without FDG+ residual changes was 91 % and 100 %, respectively, with insignificant differences (= 0.39).

Conclusion. PET-CT with 18F-FDG is a highly sensitive technique for evaluating the primary lesion volumes in PBL patients. In 100 % of bone and soft tissue lesions an intensive uptake of 18F-FDG was observed. At the same time our study showed persistent metabolic activity on completing antitumor treatment in more than a half of patients, and in most of them it was not caused by tumor. Therefore, in our view, ongoing residual metabolic activity in PBL cannot always be regarded as an indication for continued treatment or consolidation radiotherapy.

Keywords: primary bone lymphoma, survival, positron emission tomography, diagnosis, efficacy estimation of antitumor treatment.

ABSTRACT

Background. Primary bone lymphomas (PBL) are rare extranodal lymphomas. In more than 90 % of cases they are reported as diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL). At local (IE) stage of PBL the standard R-CHOP immunotherapy demonstrates efficacy over 90 %. If, however, such poor prognostic factors (PPF) as multiple bone lesions (IVЕ stage), increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, B-symptoms, and large tumor mass are identified, R-CHOP efficacy tends to decrease. There is currently no optimal regimen for treatment of PBL patients with PPF. We suggest intensified multi-agent chemotherapy for this category of patients.

Aim. To assess long-term results of prospective single-center trial on the use of high-dose mNHL-BFM-90 program in patients with primary bone DLBCL and PPF.

Materials & Methods. The trial included 33 patients with primary bone DLBCL followed-up at the National Medical Hematology Research Center from 2006 to 2018. The median age of patients was 44 years (range 16–78 years). The spectrum of assessed data included main clinical, laboratory, X-ray and MRI tumor characteristics as well as survival rates and prognostic factors.

Results. PPF were identified in 29 (88 %) patients, out of them 20 (61 %) patients had an advanced stage (˃ IE), 20 (59 %) patients showed an increased LDH activity, B-symptoms were identified in 15 (45 %) patients, and large tumor mass was reported in 23 (71 %) patients. High-dose antitumor treatment (mNHL-BFM-90) was administered in 27 out of 33 patients. Overall and progression-free survival within the period of 5 years was 92 %. None of PPF significantly influenced survival rates.

Conclusion. The use of high-dose mNHL-BFM-90 program in PBL with poor prognosis achieves long-term remissions in 92 % patients. We recommend mNHL-BFM-90 as a therapy of choice for PBL patients with poor prognosis.

Keywords: primary bone lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, high-dose intensified multi-agent mNHL-BFM-90 program.
