Abstract:
Objective To analyze the clinical features and prognostic factors of lymphoma.Methods The clinical data,pathologic data and survival state of 253 patients with lymphoma in Qinghai were retrospectively studied.The survival differences of patients with different clinical characteristics and laboratory tests were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier method.The prognostic factors of lymphoma were analyzed by Cox proportional hazards regression model.Results Among all of 253 cases of lymphoma,males were in the majority (male∶female =1.56∶1).The median age of patients was 48 years old.There were two peaks of about 40 years old and 60 years old in age of onset.The nodal lymphoma (56.13 ％) was more commonly than the extranodal lymphoma (43.87 ％).The more common extranodal lymphomas were found in the nasopharynx and gastrointestinal tract.Among all cases,40 cases (15.81％) were confirmed to be Hodgkin lymphoma (HL),of which,the commonest subtype was nodular sclerosis (72.5 ％).While 213 of 253 cases (84.19 ％) belonged to non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL),of which,B-cell lymphoma was 148 cases (69.48 ％).Overall,three subtypes including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (39.91％),follicular lymphoma (12.21％) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (9.39 ％) were the commonest subtypes among all cases.Univariate analysis showed that the clinical stage,B symptoms,Hb concentration,serum LDH level,international prognostic score (IPI) and treatment programs were related to the prognosis of NHL (P ＜ 0.05).However,the Cox regression multivariate analysis showed that only the clinical stage,IPI and treatment programs,not B symptoms,Hb concentration and serum LDH level,were closely related to the prognosis of NHL (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions In Qinghai area,there are two peaks of about 40 and 60 years old in the age of onset of lymphoma.The nodal lymphoma is more than extranodal lymphoma.B-cell lymphoma is more common.IPI could be as an independent prognostic factor and might be used to estimate the prognosis of NHL.
