impact of consolidative radiation therapy in stage iii-iv diffuse large b-cell lymphoma

Results: Median follow-up was 2.9 years. 64% presented with a breast mass. Histological subtypes were indolent (32%) and aggressive (68%). Of those with indolent lymphoma, 81% were Stage 1 and 19% were Stage 2. 12% received no treatment, 75% received radiotherapy (RT) alone, 6% received surgery alone, and 6% received surgery plus another treatment. Of those with aggressive lymphoma, 62% were Stage 1 and 38% were Stage 2. 3% received no treatment, 6% received RT, 38% received chemotherapy, 41% received chemotherapy plus RT, 9% received surgery alone, and 3% received surgery plus an- other treatment. 1 patient with aggressive histology had CNS prophylaxis. In patients with indolent vs. aggressive disease, 3-year Kaplan-Meier local control were 92.9% vs. 87.3% (p = 0.537), overall survival were 75.4% vs. 66.7% (p = 0.257), and lymphoma-specific survival were 90.9% vs. 70.3% (p = 0.114). Stage was the only significant factor for overall survival in indolent cases. In aggressive cases, RT was significantly associated with local control (p = 0.045) and overall survival (p = 0.007), with a trend toward significance for lymphoma-specific survival (p = 0.051); chemotherapy was signif- icantly associated with local control (p \ 0.001); and chemotherapy plus RT was significantly associated with overall survival (p = 0.029). Conclusions: Patients with indolent breast lymphoma were most frequently treated with RT alone, whereas aggressive cases usually had chemotherapy alone or with RT. Outcomes were similar to that of patients with lymphoma involving other an- atomic sites. Author Disclosure: J.D. Caon, None; E. Wai, None; J. Hart, None; C. Alexander, None; J. Christie, None; P.

Kelsey Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC Purpose/Objective(s): Consolidation radiation therapy (RT) decreases the risk of relapse in early-stage diffuse large B-cell lym- phoma (DLBCL). The role of consolidation RT in stage III-IV DLBCL is controversial, prompting the following analysis. Materials/Methods: This IRB-approved retrospective study reviewed all patients with stage III-IV DLBCL treated between 1996 and 2007 at Duke University. All patients had a negative post-chemotherapy PET or gallium scan. Patients with CNS involvement (n = 26), refractory disease (n = 36), a positive PET/gallium after chemotherapy (n = 25), or lack of functional imaging (n = 14) were excluded. Medical records and pertinent radiographic studies were reviewed. Actuarial in-field control, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Categorical variables were compared using the Chi-square test and continuous variables using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Fifty-six patients were identified (stage III: 15 patients; stage IV: 41 patients). Median age was 61 years (range, 22-85). Median follow-up was 3.6 years in all patients (range, 1-13 years) and 4.5 years in patients alive at last follow-up. Chemotherapy (median 6 cycles, range 3-8) was R-CHOP in 63%, CHOP 23%, other 14%. Post-chemotherapy imaging consisted of PET in 87% and gallium in 13% of patients. Consolidation RT was given at physician preference to involved sites of disease in 33 (59%) of the identified patients. Patients who received RT had lower IPI scores compared with patients not receiving RT (median 2 vs. 3, p = 0.02) and were less likely to have bone marrow involvement (9% vs. 35%, p = 0.03). There were no other significant differences between the two groups. Median RT dose was 24 Gy (range, 18 - 31). Four-year in-field control, PFS, and OS for all patients was 83%, 77%, and 76%, respectively. Patients who received consolidation RT had improved in-field control (91% vs. 71%, p = 0.07), PFS (83% vs. 68%, p = 0.06), and overall survival (82% vs. 64%, p = 0.1), though none of the differences reached statistical significance. Conclusions: Patients with stage III-IV DLBCL who achieve a negative post-chemotherapy PET or gallium scan have relatively favorable outcomes. We observed a trend toward improved clinical outcomes after consolidation RT. Author Disclosure: J.A. Dorth, None; G. Broadwater, None; L.R. Prosnitz, None; C.R.
