Objective To investigate the differences in clinical features and prognosis between patients with stage Ⅰ E-Ⅱ E nasal cavity natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (NC-NKTL) and Waldeyer's ring NK/T-cell lymphoma (WR-NKTL).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 273patients with NK/T lymphoma who were initially treated in our hospital from January 1991 to December 2011.Of these patients,184 had Ann Arbor stage Ⅰ E disease,and 89 had stage Ⅱ E disease;209 had NCNKTL,and 64 had WR-NKTL.A total of 258 patients (94.5%) were first treated with chemotherapy.The majority of patients received CHOP or CHOP-like chemotherapy.The median dose of radiotherapy was 54Gy.Results Compared with NC-NKTL patients,WR-NKTL patients had significantly higher percentages of individuals in stage Ⅱ E and individuals with B symptoms (P <0.05 for both).The overall response rates of the two groups after treatment were similar (88.7% vs 87.9%,P =0.869).The follow-up rate was 96.3%.196 patients were followed up for at least 5 years.The 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 52.6% and 41.4%,respectively.The 5-year OS of NC-NKTL patients was nonsignificantly higher than that of WR-NKTL patients (57.0% vs 39.0%,P =0.062),while the 5-year PFS of NC-NKTL patients was significantly higher than that of WR-NKTL patients (46.7% vs 25.8%,P =0.019).Conclusions Patients with early-stage WR-NKTL are more prone to systemic symptoms and cervical lymph node metastasis and have poorer prognosis,as compared with patients with early-stage NC-NKTL,so radiotherapy and prophylactic irradiation should be considered in early stage.

Objective To analyze the clinical features,treatment methods,and prognostic factors for early primary pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data,treatment outcomes,and survival of 32 patients with early pulmonary MALT lymphoma from March 2001 to September 2013.The median age of those patients was 56 years.Twenty-three patients had stage ⅠE disease and nine had stage Ⅱ E disease.According to the marginal zone B-cell lymphoma prognostic index (MZLPI),twenty-three patients were scored as 0 and nine as 1.Nine patients received radiotherapy,eight patients underwent surgery alone,three patients underwent surgery plus chemotherapy,and twelve patients received chemotherapy alone.The Kaplan-Meier method was adapted for calculating the OS,PFS and the log-rank test was used for survival difference analysis and univariate prognostic analysis.Results The 5-year sample size was 22.The 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 84.5% and 73.2%,respectively.Radiotherapy yielded an overall response rate of 100%,including a complete response rate of 66.7% and a partial response rate of 33.3%.The univariate analysis showed that non-radiotherapy treatment was a prognostic factor for poor PFS.The patients treated with radiotherapy had significantly higher 5-year PFS rates than those treated without radiotherapy (100% vs.63.0%,P=0.029),while there was no significant difference in 5-year OS rate between these two groups (100% vs.78.8%,P=0.129).Age older than 60 years,an ECOG score of 2,and an MZLPI score of 1 were prognostic factors for poor PFS (P=0.041,0.018,and 0.044) and OS (P=0.001,0.001,and 0.003).Conclusions The prognostic factors for early pulmonary MALT lymphoma include age,ECOG score,and MZLPI score.Low-dose involved-field radiotherapy (24-30 Gy) can improve local control and survival.

Objective To explore the predictive value of primary tumor site for loco?regional recurrence ( LRR) in early breast cancer patients with one to three positive axillary lymph nodes after radical surgery. Methods The clinical data of 656 patients pathologically diagnosed with pT1?2 N1 M0 breast cancer who received radical surgery without postoperative radiotherapy in our hospital from 1998 to 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. In those patients, 156 had primary tumor located in the inner quadrant, 45 in the central quadrant, and 455 in the outer quadrant. LRR and local recurrence?free survival ( LRFS) were end points. The Kaplan?Meier method was used to estimate LRR and LRFS rates. The log?rank test was used for survival difference analysis and univariate prognostic analysis. Multivariate analysis was performed using the Cox regression model. Results The 5?and 10?year sample sizes were 416 and 191, respectively. The 5?and 10?year LRR rates were 8?6% and 12?9%, respectively, while the 5?and 10?year LRFS rates were 86?2%and 76?4%, respectively. The univariate analysis indicated that age, pT stage, Ki67 level, molecular classification, and primary tumor in the inner quadrant were significant influencing factors for LRR ( P=0?000,0?006,0?017,0?004,0?000). The multivariate analysis showed that age no greater than 35 years, primary tumor in the inner quadrant, and non?luminal subtype in molecular classification were independent prognostic factors for LRR and LRFS ( P=0?0012,0?012,0?005) . With an increasing number of risk factors ( ≥ 2 ) , patients with primary tumor in the inner quadrant had a dramatically increased LRR rate and a reduced LRFS rate, while patients with primary tumor in the outer or central quadrant kept the same LRR and LRFS rates. Conclusions The primary tumor site holds promise for prediction of LRR and LRFS in patients with pT1?2N1M0 breast cancer after radical surgery. Patients with primary tumor located in the inner quadrant have a high LRR rate and a low LRFS rate, which provides an excellent predictor for the risk of recurrence in patients with high?risk breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of the scheme of target volume delineation with extended involved?field intensity?modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for patients with early?stage nasal NK/ T?cell lymphoma (NC?NKTL). Methods Twenty?one patients with stage IE?IIE NC?NKTL were treated with short?course chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy from 2011 to 2013. The majority of patients received the GELOX regimen. All patients received extended involved?field IMRT with a dose of 54?? 6 Gy in 26 fractions for gross tumor volume, 50?? 7 Gy in 26 fractions for high?risk clinical target volume (CTV), and 45?? 5 Gy in 26 fractions for low?risk CTV. The dose distribution, short?term treatment outcomes, and adverse reactions were analyzed. Results The 2?year sample size was 12. The 2?year follow?up rate was 100%. The 2?year local control rate ( LRC) was 100%. The 2?year overall and progression?free survival rates were 90?? 5% and 90?? 5%, respectively. The median coverage rates of planning target volumes with 90% of the prescribed doses of 54?? 6 Gy, 50?? 7 Gy, and 45?? 5 Gy were 99?? 8%, 99?? 6%, and 99?? 7%, respectively. No grade 3 or 4 adverse reactions were observed in patients. Conclusions The scheme of target volume delineation and dose configuration in our study not only achieves excellent target volume coverage, but also reduces adverse reactions in patients, which achieves a 2?year LRC ideal for patients with early?stage NC?NKTL.
