OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical characteristics of the patients with B-cell chronic lymphoproliferative disease（B-CLPD） in the new drug era and the effect of new drug treatment on efficacy and survival. METHODS: The clinical and laboratory data of 200 cases B-CLPD patients diagnosed between April 2015 and August 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical efficacy and survival of the patients under different treatments including Bruton tyrosine kinase（BTK） inhibitors， rituximab， and chemotherapy alone were analyzed. The prognostic factors affecting the survival of patients were analyzed by univarite analysis and multivariate analysis. RESULTS: There were 119 male（59.5％） and 81 female（40.5%） in 200 cases B-CLPD patients， the sex ratio(male/female) was 1.5∶1 with median age of 61（30- 91） years old. The distribution of subtypes were as fallows: 51 cases (25.5%) of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma（CLL/SLL）， 64（32.0%） cases of follicular lymphoma（FL）， 40（20.0%） cases mantle cell lymphoma（MCL）， 30（15.0%） cases of marginal zone lymphoma（MZL）， 10（5%） cases of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/waldenstrom macroglobulinemia（LPL/WM）， 5（2.5%） cases of B cell chronic lymphoproliferative disorders unclassified（B-CLPD-U） . The main clinical manifestation of 102 patients was lymph node enlargement, 32 cases were complicated with B symptoms. Among CLL/SLL patients， there were 12（23.5%） cases in Binet A and 39（76.5%） cases in Binet B/C. There were 29 patients（20.9%） in Ann Arbor or Lugano stage I-II and 110 cases（79.1%） in stage III-IV of other subtypes. The complete remission（CR） rate was 43.1%（25/58）， 40.2%（39/97）， 7.1%（1/14）， and overaIl response rate（ORR） was 87.9%（51/58）， 62.9%（61/97）， 28.6%（4/14） in the groups of BTK inhibitors， rituximab-based therapy， and chemotherapy alone. The 3-year OS rate and PFS rate in all patients was 79.2% and 72.4% respectively. The 3-year OS rate of patient with MZL, CLL/SLL, FL,WM was 94.7%, 87.7%, 86.8% and 83.3% respectively, while the 3-year OS rate of MCL was only 40.6%, which was significantly lower than other subtypes. The median OS of patients treated with BTK inhibitors and rituximab-based therapy was 20.5 and 18.5 months respectively， and the 3-year OS rate was 97.4% and 90.7%. However， the median PFS of patients receiving chemotherapy alone was 4 months， and the 1-year OS rate was 52.7%， which was statistically significant compared with the other two groups（P<0.05）. Univarite analysis showed that anemia， elevated lactate dehydrogenase， elevated β2-microglobulin， and splenomegaly were the poor prognostic factors for OS（P<0.05）， elevated lactate dehydrogenase was also poor prognostic factors for PFS（P<0.05）. Multifactor analysis showed that anemia and elevated lactate dehydrogenase were the independent poor prognostic factors for survival（P<0.05）. CONCLUSION The clinical features of B-CLPD was various， anemia and elevated lactate dehydrogenase are the prognostic factors for poor survival. BTK inhibitors and new immunotherapy can improve the survival and prognosis of patients in the new drug era.

Objective: To examine the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of elderly patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and the impact of nutrition and underlying diseases on the prognosis of elderly patients with MCL. Methods: retrospectively analyzed 255 elderly patients with MCL from 11 medical centers, including Peking University Third Hospital between January 2000 and February 2021. We analyzed clinical data, such as age, gender, Mantle Cell Lymphoma International Prognostic Index score, and treatment options, and performed univariate and multivariate prognostic analysis. We performed a comprehensive geriatric assessment on elderly MCL patients with medical records that included retraceable underlying disease and albumin levels, and we investigated the impact of basic nutrition and underlying disorders on MCL prognosis in the elderly. Results: There were 255 senior individuals among the 795 MCL patients. Elderly MCL was more common in males (78.4%), with a median age of 69 yr (ages 65-88), and the majority (88.6%) were identified at a late stage. The 3-yr overall survival (OS) rate was 42.0%, with a 21.2% progression-free survival (PFS) rate. The overall response rate (ORR) was 77.3%, with a 33.3% total remission rate. Elderly patients were more likely than younger patients to have persistent underlying illnesses, such as hypertension. Multivariate analysis revealed that variables related with poor PFS included age of ≥80 (P=0.021), Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ (P=0.003), high LDH level (P=0.003), involvement of bone marrow (P=0.014). Age of ≥80 (P=0.001) and a high LDH level (P=0.003) were risk factors for OS. The complete geriatric assessment revealed that renal deficiency was associated with poorer OS (P=0.047) . Conclusions: Elderly MCL patients had greater comorbidities. Age, LDH, renal function, bone marrow involvement, and Ann Arbor stage are all independent risk factors for MCL in the elderly.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical characteristics, prognostic factors, and treatment outcomes of patients with limited-stage (Ann Arbor stage I or II) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). METHODS: Examining consecutive the clinical characteristics, treatment outcomes and prognostic factors of 47 patients with stage I or II MCL diagnosed in Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from January 2005 to June 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: The median age of patients was 62(37-78) years old. 36 patients were male, accounting for 76.6% of the whole. Among these, 74.5% (n=35) of the diagnoses were estimated at II stage. According to Mantle cell lymphoma International Prognostic Index (MIPI), 28 patients (59.6%) were classified as low risk. Patients who received first-line treatment and could be evaluated received rituximab combined chemotherapy, chemotherapy alone, cytarabine containing chemotherapy or chemotherapy combined with local radiotherapy, the different first-line therapies did not affect the complete response (CR) rate of patients (P＞0.05). The median follow-up time was 81.5 months, the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 37.4% and the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 80.6%. Multivariate analysis showed that Ki-67＞30% (P＜0.05) the independent adverse prognostic factor for PFS and OS. CONCLUSION Limited-stage MCL is rare. Patients with limited-stage MCL had a better outcome than those with III-IV stage MCL. Patients with limited-stage MCL whose Ki-67≤30% had better PFS and OS.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation between different body mass index (BMI) and prognosis of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). METHODS: The clinical characteristics and biological indices of 108 patients with MCL treated in Fujian Medical University Union Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, and the effects of different BMI on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed. The correlation between BMI and B symptoms, LDH and Ki-67 was further observed. Furthermore，the differences of BMI between Autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation(Auto-PBSCT) and conventional chemotherapy groups were explored. RESULTS: Among 108 patients, the median age at diagnosis was 59（25-79） years old, and the male to female ratio was 4.4∶1. 88.89% of patients with Ann Arbor staging III-IV, 63.89% with bone marrow involvement, and 49.07% with splenic infiltration. Patients with BMI ≥ 24 kg/m² were divided into two groups: the high BMI group and the low BMI group. The 5-year PFS and OS of patients in the low BMI group were 31.9% and 47.0%, respectively, while those in the high BMI group were 64.6% and 68.7%, respectively. The incidence of death in the high BMI group was lower than that of the low BMI group (P＜0.01). In multivariate analysis, BMI was an independent predictor of PFS (HR=0.282; 95% CI: 0.122-0.651; P=0.003) and an independent predictor of OS (HR=0.299; 95% CI: 0.129-0.693; P=0.005). Also, patients with B symptoms had a lower BMI than those without B symptoms (P=0.01), but BMI had no effect on patients' LDH and Ki-67. The prognosis of 16 patients treated with Auto-PBSCT was significantly better than that of the conventional chemotherapy group. There was no significant difference in BMI between Auto-PBSCT group and conventional chemotherapy group. CONCLUSION BMI is an independent prognostic factor for PFS and OS in MCL, and may be influenced by the effect of B symptoms on BMI.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a distinct histological type of B-cell lymphoma with a poor prognosis. Several agents, such as proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs, and inhibitors of B cell lymphoma-2 and Bruton's tyrosine kinase have shown efficacy for relapsed or refractory (r/r) MCL but often have short-term responses. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has emerged as a novel treatment modality for r/r non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, long-term safety and tolerability associated with CAR T-cell therapy are not defined well, especially in MCL. In this report, we described a 70-year-old patient with r/r MCL with 48-month duration of follow-up who achieved long-term remission after CAR T-cell therapy. CAR T-cell-related toxicities were also mild and tolerated well even in this elderly patient. This report suggested that CAR T-cell therapy is a promising treatment modality for patients with MCL, who are generally elderly and have comorbid conditions.

Objective: To investigate whether high-dose methylprednisolone with Rituximab and fresh frozen plasma (HDMP+RTX+FFP) is an effective therapy for patients with B-cell chronic lymphoproliferative disorders (B-CLPD) with TP53 abnormalities. Methods: Six B-CLPD patients with TP53 abnormalities from May 2008 to May 2012 were prospectively enrolled in the study. The patients were treated with HDMP+RTX+FFP for up to 6 cycles. Results: Of the six B-CLPD patients, there were 4 cases of chronic B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders-unclassified (B-CLPD-U) , 1 B-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (B-PLL) and 1 mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) . After a median 3 courses of treatment, 4 patients achieved complete remission (CR) including 3 with undetectable minimal residual disease (MRD(-)) . One patient was evaluated as stable disease (SD) and another one patient was in disease progression (PD) . After a median follow-up of 30 (4-56) months, 2 non-responders progressed quickly and died. All of CR patients survived and no one succumbed to disease progression at the last follow-up. The hematopoietic function was significantly improved after the treatment whereas there was also significant decrease in serum IgA, IgG and IgM levels. All patients showed well tolerance to this regimen. The incidence of myelosuppression was low and adverse events (AE) were mainly neutropenia which did not exceed grade 3 and infection. All AE were controllable. Conclusion: HDMP+RTX+FFP is an effective and relatively tolerable therapy for patients with B-CLPD accompanying with TP53 abnormalities.

PURPOSE: Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is known to have systemic dissemination with poor prognosis, but very few cases have been reported in Korea. Therefore, we analyzed clinical features and prognosis of MCL by comparing 3 cases of ocular adnexal MCL and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. METHODS: The medical records of patients with ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma and MCL from Chungnam National University Hospital and Pusan National University Hospital from January 1999 to April 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Immunohistochemical examination was selectively used to diagnose lymphoma subtypes. Systemic dissemination, treatment response, and recurrence were identified using radiological testing and bone marrow aspiration. RESULTS: This study included 39 patients with ocular and ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma and 1 patient with MCL from Chungnam National University Hospital and 53 patients with MALT lymphoma and 2 patients with MCL from Pusan National University Hospital. All 3 (100%) patients diagnosed with ocular adnexal MCL were over 60 years of age. However, 28 of 92 (30.4%) patients diagnosed with MALT lymphoma were over 60 years of age. In MALT lymphoma, 3 of 92 patients presented with systemic dissemination and most patients recovered with radiotherapy. Conversely, all 3 patients with MCL showed systemic dissemination and recurrence after radiotherapy or chemotherapy, therefore, additional chemotherapy was required. CONCLUSIONS: Contrary to MALT lymphoma, ocular and ocular adnexal MCL usually presented with systemic dissemination and complete remission was difficult even though many regimens of chemotherapy were attempted. Because MCL can be misdiagnosed as MALT lymphoma, careful evaluation should be performed.
