BFM-Studie 1981/83 zur Behandlung hochmaligner Non-Hodgkin-Lymphome bei Kindern: Ergebnisse einer nach histologisch-immunologischem Typ und Ausbreitungsstadium stratefizierten Therapie

Abstract: 99 children with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma entered the prospective, multicenter BFM study 81/83. They were treated with a four-fold stratified therapy according to clinical stage and origin of the lymphoma from B- or non-B-lymphocytes. In the BFM study 75/81, these criteria had been proven to be most relevant for prognosis. Therapy of non-B-NHL was very similar to the therapeutic concept as applied in acute lymphoblastic leukemias by the BFM group. For the NHL of B-type, a new therapeutic regimen was developed.

“…Moreover, patients with B-ALL fared as good as those with stage III in our study, and this phenomenon can be explained by the drug intensification given to this subgroup of patients. In our study the dose of Methotrexate was 2 g/m 2 in patients who received the intensified arm. This dose is lower than that used in the original BFM report (5 g/m 2 ) and was apparently not associated to a substantial increased risk of systemic or CNS relapse.…”

“…In the early eighties, it was recognized that patients with advanced stage B-NHL should be treated with a different drug combination from that used in patients with non-B-NHL in order to achieve better results [1]. In 1981, the Berlin Frankfurt Münster (BFM) group introduced a new drug combination consisting of two different 5-day blocks of chemotherapy based on fractionated cyclophosphamide and methotrexate for patients with B-NHL with promising results [2]. In the succeeding BFM trials for B-NHL, the treatment duration was shortened and the dose-intensity was increased for patients with advanced stage B-NHL [3].…”

“…Ein wesentlicher Schritt zur Verbesserung der Langzeitprognose von Kindern und Jugendlichen mit NHL war die Einführung der Kombinationspolychemotherapie -zunächst mit einer Kombination von Cyclophosphamid, Vincristin, Methotrexat und Prednison (COMP; [28]), dem LSA2-L2-Protokoll [25] und in Deutschland mit dem Westberliner Therapieprotokoll zur Behandlung der akuten lymphoblastischen Leukämie [10] [19]. Der nächste entscheidende Fortschritt der Therapieentwicklung von NHL bei Kindern und Jugendlichen war die Erkenntnis, dass die Behandlung von lymphoblastischen und nichtlymphoblastischen Lymphomen unterschiedliche Strategien erfordert [1,9,10].…”

“…Bei lymphoblastischen NHL vom Vorläufer-B-und -T-Zell-Typ sind Therapiestrategien wie bei der ALL -basierend auf dem Prinzip einer kontinuierlichen Zytostatikaexposition über längere Zeiträume -Grundlage einer adäquaten Behandlung [9,10,16]. Dagegen verlangen Lymphome vom Burkitt-Typ einschließ-lich der B-ALL sowie die sich biologisch gleich verhaltenden diffusen großzel-ligen B-Zell-Lymphome (DLBCL) eine andere Therapiestrategie: kurze, intensive Chemotherapiekurse mit hoher Dosisintensität, basierend auf Steroiden, Cyclophosphamid und Methotrexat [9,16,13].…”

“…Lebensjahr wird in Statistiken aus den USA und der Bundesrepublik Deutschland mit 0,6-1 Erkrankung/100000 Individuen der Gesamtbevölkerung angegeben und liegt somit in der Größen ordnung der Neuroblastome und Wilmstumoren [1,9]. Es besteht eine deutliche Knabenwendigkeit von 2-3:1 -etwas stärker ausgeprägt beim B-NHL [3,4]. Der Altersgipfel liegt bei ca.…”
