Marginal zone lymphomas: factors that affect the final outcome Mazloom A; Medeiros LJ; McLaughlin PW; Reed V; Cabanillas FF; Fayad LE; Pro B; Gonzalez G; Iyengar P; Urbauer DL; Dabaja BSCancer 2010[Sep]; 116 (18): 4291-8BACKGROUND: A retrospective review and analysis of 275 patients with marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) was performed to determine prognostic factors. An effort was also made to establish a specific prognostic score for patients with extranodal MZL. METHODS: Patients were divided into 3 groups according to the type of MZL: extranodal, nodal, and splenic. Factors analyzed included age; gender; presence of B symptoms; Zubrod performance score; clinical stage; serum beta(2)-microglobulin, lactate dehydrogenase, albumin, and hemoglobin levels; and presence of autoimmune disorder. RESULTS: The 5-year overall survival rates of patients with extranodal, nodal, and splenic MZL were 87%, 89%, and 93%, respectively (P = .95). On multivariate analysis, splenic MZL patients had the best prognosis (hazard ratio, 0.18; P = .018). An elevated serum beta(2)-microglobulin level (P = .010), B symptoms (P = .021), and male gender (P = .036) were found to be correlated with decreased recurrence-free survival (RFS) on multivariate analysis. Using these 3 variables, a 3-tier prognostic scoring system was created for patients with extranodal MZL: low-risk with no adverse factors, intermediate-risk with 1 adverse factor, and high-risk with >/= 2 adverse factors. The 5-year RFS rates for the low-risk, intermediate-risk, and high-risk groups were 80%, 71%, and 44%, respectively (P = .01). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with extranodal and nodal MZL have a similar prognosis, whereas patients with splenic MZL have a better prognosis despite the increased prevalence of negative prognostic indicators. With the use of 3 readily available factors, a prognostic scoring system was identified for patients with extranodal MZL.|Age Factors[MESH]|Aged[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Lymph Nodes/pathology[MESH]|Lymphoma, B-Cell, Marginal Zone/mortality/*pathology[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Prognosis[MESH]|Sex Factors[MESH]|Splenic Neoplasms/*mortality/*pathology[MESH] |
