Russia; 6-8 L'va Tolstogo St., 197022 Saint Petersburg, Russia; 4 Leningrad Regional Clinical Hospital; 45-49 Lunacharskogo Prospect, 197022 Saint Petersburg, Russia In the retrospective multicenter study during [2007][2008][2009][2010][2011][2012][2013][2014][2015][2016][2017] we included 59 oncohematological patients with mucormycosis and 541 patients with invasive aspergillosis. Our study showed that mucomorhycosis more often developed in children and adolescents (p = 0.001), and after «graft versus host» disease development (p = 0.0001). Patients with mucormycosis were more immunosuppressed: severe neutropenia was in 88 % vs. 82 %, median duration of neutropenia -30 days vs. 14 days, p = 0.0001, lymphocytopenia -77 % vs. 65 %, median duration of lymphocytopenia -25 days vs. 14 days, p = 0.001. The main sites of infection were lungs, nevertheless in patients with mucormycosis it was less frequent (73 % vs. 97 %, p = 0.02), but more frequent were ≥2 organs involvement (42 % vs. 8 %, p = 0.001) and paranasal sinuses involvement (15 % vs. 6 %, p = 0.04
Aim: To identify incidence and prognostic impact of different IHC and molecular genetic markers in Diffuse Large B-cell lymphoma. Methods: We analyzed 215 patients with DLBCL who received treatment from 2008 to 2016. We assess expression of different IHC markers, defined DLBCL to GCB and non-GCB subtypes by Hans-algorithm and performed FISH to evaluate MyC, BcL2 and BCL6 translocations. Results: Median follow-up was 29 months. Non-GCB DLBCL were identified in 44 pts (62,9%), GCB-subtype in 26 pts (37,1%). Median PFS in non-GCB DlBCL was 46,0 months, in GCB DLBCL median PFS and 75% quartile was not reached (p=0,171). Traslocations of MYC, BCL2 and BCL6 were found in 10/48 pts (20,8%). Double expression of c-myc and bcl-2 was identified in 21 of 71 пациентов (29,6%). СD5-expression were determined in 19/55 (34,5%), CD30+ DLBCL - in 24/66 pts (36,4%). In pts with DLBCL without CD-10 expression PFS was 6,0 months, in group with CD 10 expression median of PFS was not reached (р=0,122). Pts with CD 10 expression had lower risk of relapse compared to those without expression (р=0,049). Absence of CD 10 expression was negative prognostic factor for PFS in multivariate analysis (р=0,015). Conclusion: Patients with DLBCL and GCB subtype have tendency to better prognosis in PFS rates and lower risk of relapse compared to non-GCB subtype. Dividing to GCB or non-GCB subtypes in DLBCL and assessment of different IHC markers can potentially determine DLBCL with worse prognosis.
High dose chemotherapy (HDCT) with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is suggested as the standard of treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) providing long-term disease-free survival in over 50 % of patients. The insufficient number of Russian medical centers, which can provide HDCT with ASCT, result into a broken chain of treatment. The main goal of this thesis is the evaluation of a timely mannered qualified medical help as potential independent prognosis factor. Our study included data of patients with refractory or relapsed HL who underwent treatment between 2013 and 2017 in our Center. Due to our data the negative prognostic factors affecting progression-free survival are: primary refractory disease (60 % vs 94 %; HR 2,1 [95 % CI 1.20-3.56], p=0.041); response for the 1st line of salvage therapy less than complete remission (CR) (35 % vs 91 %; HR 2,4 [95 % CI 1.81-3.24], p=0.022), presence of chain treatment disruption (41 % vs 90 %; HR 2,9 [95 % CI 2.43-4.2], p=0.029), disease status less than CR prior ASCT (29 % vs 87 %; HR 4,3 [95 % CI 2.9-6.1], p=0.009). Our results demonstrate that timely mannered qualified medical care is a key component that improves the survival of patients with relapses and refractory forms of Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
