Study Notes
Lymphoma Overview
- Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer arising from lymphocytes (B, T, NK cells).
- It's characterized by uncontrolled proliferation and malignancy.
- Systemic enlargement of lymph nodes is common.
- Hodgkin lymphoma is distinguished by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells.
- Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is more common and lacks Reed-Sternberg cells.
Hodgkin Lymphoma
- Malignant lymphoma.
- Caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).
- Characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells within the affected lymphoid tissues (B cells).
- Typically affects early adulthood and older individuals.
- Presents with painless, firm, and discrete enlargement of superficial lymph nodes, splenomegaly, fever, night sweats, and loss of weight.
- Enlargement of cervical, axillary, inguinal, abdominal, and chest nodes is common.
- Subtypes include nodular lymphocyte predominant, classical Hodgkin, nodular sclerosis, lymphocyte-rich, mixed cellularity, and lymphocyte-depleted.
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL)
- Malignant lymphomas without Reed-Sternberg cells.
- 5 times more common than Hodgkin lymphoma.
- Common in children.
- Etiology is multifactorial, often involving viral infections (EBV, HTLV-1) and gene mutations (c-myc, Bcl-2).
- Clinical features include superficial lymphadenopathy, fever, night sweats, weight loss, anemia, neutropenia, and hepatomegaly/splenomegaly.
- Staging is similar to Hodgkin lymphoma.
- Classification uses various systems such as Rappaport, Kiel, Lukes-Collins, working formulation, and WHO (Revised American European Lymphoma).
- A classification of NHL subtypes exists, categorizing lymphoma based on microscopic appearance of the lymphoid cells.
- Several subtypes exist: B-cell (85%), T-cell (15%). Many more specific types exist.
Classification and Staging
- Staging systems, like Ann Arbor, are crucial.
- These systems identify lymph node involvement and extranodal sites.
- Both Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma use similar staging systems.
- Staging involves examining lymph node involvement across the diaphragm and extralymphatic sites (e.g., bone marrow, liver, skin, etc.).
Diagnosis
- Hematological findings (CBC, bone marrow biopsy, etc.) are essential.
- Biochemical findings (ESR, CRP, transaminases, LDH) provide additional information.
- Cytogenetic studies analyze chromosomes.
- Immunophenotyping using flow cytometry or immunohistochemistry identifies cell surface markers (CDs) for accurate classification.
Treatment
- Treatment strategies for both Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma frequently involve chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and stem cell transplantation.
Diagnostic Techniques
- Various tests (e.g., karyotyping, FISH, DNA sequencing) help identify specific chromosomal abnormalities, DNA rearrangements, and identify other genomic alterations associated with specific lymphomas.
Key Points for Prognosis and Classification
- Based on the presence or absence of cleaved cells, cell size, and cell distribution.
- A high proliferative capacity is associated with poor prognosis.
- Proliferative capacity, cell morphology, cell size and distribution are important factors for classifying lymphomas and determining prognosis.
