DiagnosisAccurate diagnosis of lymphoma depends on
Adequate tissue biopsy.
Immunohistochemistry Flow cytometry
Molecular and Genetic studies electrophoresis, Southern Blot, microarray PCRFISH
FNAC?
Immuno phenotyping
Lymph Node Biopsy
•Lymphoma
Lymph node biopsy
Biopsy of easily accessible largest node.
A complete node is best. And more than one node
Axilla and groin are avoided.
To be delivered immediately without fixation to path lab.
Cell suspensions of fresh tissue for flow cytometry immunotyping, cell kinetics analysis and molecular analysis.
Touch imprint cytology is for comparing bone marrow and nodal cytology. A portion is snap frozen for molecular genetics and for immunohistochemistry.
A portion is fixed and processed for morphological study.
Diagnosis of NHL lymphoma depends on findingabnormal numbers of lymphocytes that are destroying normal architecture of lymphoid tissue or invading non lymphoid tissue or both.

Lymph node structure
The cells are examined to determine what antigens are expressed on the surface of the cells by using antibodies that bind to those antigens.
Helps determine the type of lymphoma with far greater accuracy than just examining the biopsy under the microscope.
A chart of which antigens are typically positive or negative is on CD chart.( Cluster Differentiation )
Immunohistochemistry
Individual cells are separated and examined.
Flow cytometry
identifies types of lymphoma from FNAC specimens
Flow Cytometry
FNAC
• To diagnose relapse
• Flow cytometry possible with FNAC
• Inaccessible nodes like abdominal and retroperitoneal nodes can be targeted under CT guidance for FNAC
Why Immuno phenotyping
• To differentiate a lymphoma from poorly differentiated carcinoma
• To differentiate a lymphoma from a reactive lesion (monoclonal)
• Classification of lymphoma
Treatment of lymphoma
• Staging work Up
• Treatment
X-ray chest, CT chest and CT abdomen
•Bone marrow biopsy.
•PET scan
•MRI
•CSF analysis
Staging Work Up
Ann Arbor Staging
•A/B•A/B•A/B •A/B
Cotswold modifications
X Massive mediastinal disease has been defined by the Cotswold meeting as a thoracic ratio of maximum transverse mass diameter greater than or equal to 33% of the internal transverse thoracic diameter measured at the T5/6 intervertebral disc level on chest radiography .or 10 cmThe number of anatomic regions involved should be indicated by a
subscript (eg, II3) Stage III1
Stage III2
Stage III may be subdivided into: III1, with or without splenic, hilar,
celiac, or portal nodes;III2, with para-aortic, iliac, mesenteric nodes
CS \ PS CR
Staging should be identified as clinical stage (CS) or pathologic stage (PS)
A new category of response to therapy, unconfirmed/uncertain complete remission (CR) can be introduced because of the persistent radiologic abnormalities of uncertain significance
The treatment and prognosis depends on stage patient performance status
the characteristic of lymphoma.
International Prognostic Indexfor Hodgkin’s lymphoma
• 1- Serum albumin < 4 gm/dl
• 2- Hemoglobin level below 10.5 gm/dl
• 3- Male gender
• 4- Stage IV disease
• 5- Age ≥ 45 years
• 6- WBC of ≥ 15,000/mm²7- Lymphocyte count ≤ 600/mm² or ≤ 8% of WBC
International Prognostic Indexfor Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma
• Age> 60 years
• Performance status>2
• LDH> than normal

Treatment
Hodgkin’s lymphoma usually arises in lymph nodes and spreads to contiguous groups. Extranodal presentation are rare.
Treatment is by
stage of disease and prognostic factors
Treatment of lymphoma
• Treatment modality
radiotherapy
chemotherapy
combination therapy
high dose chemotherapy with bone marrow transplant
monoclonal antibody RITUXIMAB
Treatment of Hodgkin’s lymphoma
• With appropriate treatment about 85% of patients with Hodgkin disease are cured
Treatment of Hodgkin Lymphoma
• Radiation therapy alone in special circumstances
• Chemoradiotherapy
• ABVD for two to four cycles plus involved field radiotherapy(20 Gy or 30 Gy).
• Chemotherapy alone
• ABVD for four to six to eight cycles. (ABVD: doxorubicin plus bleomycin plus vinblastine plus dacarbazine
• BEACOPP (increased dose). (bleomycin plus etoposide plus doxorubicin plus cyclophosphamide plus vincristine plus procarbazine plus prednisone
Radiation therapy• Extended field
• mantle field
• paraaortic field
• pelvic field
• CURRENT TREND
• Involved field radiotherapy
• Neck
• Mediastinum
• Axilla
• Paraaortic
• inguinal
Complications of treatment
• Second malignancy
• Cardiac dysfunction
• Lung fibrosis
• sterility
•In Hodgkin’s disease current trend is
less aggressive treatment to minimise
complications
•Chemotherapy, radiotherapy and combined modality for Hodgkin's disease, with emphasis on second cancer risk
Cochrane Reviews
• For early-stage patients chemoradiotherapy
resulted in longer survival and longer HD-free survival than either RT or CT alone
• Second malignancy (SM) risk was lower with CRT than with RT
• For advanced stages
no difference in survival between CRT and CT alone was established
Treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) depends on the histologic type and stage.
Treatment of Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma
• Watchful waiting
• Chemotherapy with radiation therapy.
• Rituximab, an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, either alone or in combination with chemotherapy .
• R-CHOP (four to eight cycles).
• R-CHOP (three to eight cycles) plus IF-XRT.
• Autologous BMT or peripheral stem cell transplantation or allogeneic BMT for patients at high risk of relapse is under clinical evaluation
Cochrane Summary
• improved survival of follicular and in mantle cell lymphoma when treated with R-chemo compared to chemotherapy alone.
• no benefit for high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplantation as a first line treatment in patients with aggressive NHL.
• IFN as maintenance therapy for FL improves progression-free survival. A net benefit for overall survival is less evident
HIV associated lymphoma
•HIV-associated, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma occurs in 5-10% of individuals with HIV infection •virtually all of B-cell origin. Most are intermediate- or high-grade lymphomas• Complete response occurs in 33-62% of patients•. Relapse occurs in 25% of complete responders within 6 months.• Median survival is 4-8 months, with about half dying of lymphoma and half of opportunistic infection.
•Lymphoma is the most common small bowel malignancy in the pediatric age•50-93% of patients have intestinal lymphomas located in the ileocecal region.• a history of nonspecific chronic abdominal pain common• can present acutely as appendicitis or intussusception
Man’s mind once stretched by a new idea never regains it’s original dimensions
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr
Summary• Management of lymphoma needs a multidisciplinary
approach with a need to keep abreast of evidence based medicine.
• Lymphoma is associated with immuno compromised states
•
• Surgeon ‘s role
• in diagnosis of lymphoma.
• In treatment of lymphoma in extranodal sites (GI
tract emergencies).
