Clinical Features and Prognosis of Patients with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma of the Breast
Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL)of the breast.Methods:The clinical data of 28 DLBCL patients admitted to Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital from January 2013 to January 2023 were retrospectively analysed,including 13 cases of primary breast DLBCL(PB-DLBCL)and 15 cases of secondary breast DLBCL(SB-DLBCL),and the data of their clinical manifestations,laboratory tests,pathological examinations,treatment protocols,and follow-up were statistically analyzed.Results:There were significant differences in IPI score,LDH level and β2-microglobulin between PB-DLBCL and SB-DLBCL patients(P<0.05).Among the 23 patients with breast DLBCL who received regular treatment,13 patients achieved complete remission(9 patients with PB-DLBCL and 4 patients with SB-DLBCL)after initial treatment.By the end of follow-up,11 patients relapsed or progressed(5 patients with PB-DLBCL and 6 patients with SB-DLBCL)and 9 patients died(3 patients with PB-DLBCL and 6 patients with SB-DLBCL).The 5-year OS rate was(75.0±15.3)%in PB-DLBCL group and(32.3±17.1)%in SB-DLBCL group.The 5-year PFS rate was(59.1±19.8)%in PB-DLBCL and 0%in SB-DLBCL group.The 5-year OS rate and PFS rate of PB-DLBCL patients were higher than those of SB-DLBCL patients(P<0.05);the 5-year OS rate of the combined central preventive treatment group was higher than that of the chemotherapy group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Breast DLBCL is divided into two categories:PB-DLBCL and SB-DLBCL.Compared with SB-DLBCL,PB-DLBCL has the characteristics of lower IPI score,LDH,and β2-microglobulin levels.PB-DLBCL patients have a longer survival period.In addition,the prognosis of patients receiving central preventive treatment is more optimistic.
