98 22 Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma Summary For the period 1992–1997, relative survival one year after diagnosis of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma was 73.4% for males and 74.5% for females. Five-year relative survival was 54.6% for males and 55.8% for females (Table 22.1). Survival ten years after diagnosis was 44.0% for males and 45.0% for females in 1987–1991, the most recent period for which ten- year relative survival data are available (Figure 22.2; Tables 22.2 and 22.3). No significant changes were detected in one-year relative survival proportions between 1987–1991 and 1992–1997. However, there was a significant increase of 5.0 percentage points in five-year relative survival for males, and a significant increase of 5.9 percentage points in five-year relative survival for females (Figure 22.2; Tables 22.2 and 22.3). Five-year relative survival was higher for those diagnosed in the younger age groups. ...

Lymphomas are cancers that originate in a lymphocyte, which is a cell found principally in lymph nodes and other lymphatic tissue sites, such as the skin, spleen and the wall of the intestines. The transformation of a lymphocyte to a malignant cell gives it a growth and survival advantage over normal cells. The malignant cell multiplies and enlarges the lymph node so that it may be felt or observed if it is in a location near the surface of the body. The malignant lymphocytes may travel to other lymph nodes and those nodes may enlarge from uncontrolled malignant cell multiplication.

1 800.955.4572 www.leukemia- lymphoma .org Formerly Leukemia Society of America COMPLEMENTARY & ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES FOR LEUKEMIA, LYMPHOMA , HODGKIN’S DISEASE, & MYELOMA Standard medical treatment for leukemia, lymphoma , Hodgkin’s disease, or myeloma usually involves either chemotherapy, radiation therapy or both. This treatment has been proven through scientific studies to be effective against these cancers and safe for the patient. There is no evidence that anything but current medically approved standard therapy can stem the progression of or cure these cancers. Therefore, standard therapy should not be replaced by any unproven remedy. Although standard treatment has greatly improved survival for individuals with these cancers, the side effects can be difficult. Some persons will wish to seek out other remedies or techniques, sometimes ...

CAMARA-LOPES Laboratory of Surgical and Molecular Pathology, Syrian Lebanese Hospital, São Paulo, SP, Brazil ABSTRACT Primary lymphomas of bladder are rare, have a good prognosis and present good response to chemotherapy. We report a case of primary lymphoma affecting the bladder of an 89-year old female patient who, despite full response to chemotherapy, presented recurrence and death 1 year after con- cluding the treatment. The authors emphasize the differential diagnosis due to the great differences concerning prognosis and therapeutic approach.

Die adäquate Behandlung hängt von der genauen Diagnose ab und ist in den meisten Fällen eine relativ milde Behandlung mit dem Ziel der Tumorpalliation. In Früh- stadien sind lokale Ansätze wie die Bestrahlung mit UV- oder Röntgenstrahlen sinnvoll. In fortgeschrittenen Sta- dien werden systemische Therapien wie Interferon- a oder Bexarotene empfohlen.

A bone mar- row examination is performed and is negative for lymphoma . The patient’s chance of a cure will be greatest if which of the following types of lym- phoma is present? A) Large B -cell lymphoma (large transformed cell lymphoma ) B) Mantle cell lymphoma C) Peripheral T-cell lymphoma D) Small cleaved cell lymphoma E) Small noncleaved cell lymphoma (Burkitt’s lymphoma ) 2.

Asymptomatic lymphoma associated with elevation of immunoglobulin E Angelos Koutsonikolis, MD*; Noorbibi Day, PhD*; Wilfredo Chamizo, MD†; Robert A Good, PhD, MD, DSc*; and Stephen J Kornfeld, MD* Background: Elevation of immunoglobulin E (IgE) is rarely detected in patients with underlying malignancy. There has been only one report of such a finding in a patient with a T cell lymphoma and none to our knowledge in association with a B-cell lymphoma . Objective: To report a patient with elevation of IgE associated with a B-cell lineage lymphoma . Material and Methods: Case report and review of literature. Results: A 73-year-old woman was found to have elevated IgE (11,766 IU/mL) in a routine evaluation for rhinitis. No underlying allergic diathesis or disease associated with IgE elevation was noted. Because of an abnormal lymphocyte profile, an extensive malignancy evaluation ...
