LYMPHOMA
Dr Bruce Covell
Each year in the UK about about 1500 people
develop Hodgkin's disease, usually between 15-25
years of age. It can also develop later in life in
people over 60. In younger people the numbers of
men to women are about the same but overall
Hodgkin's affects more men.
Between 7000 and 7500 people develop nonHodgkin's lymphoma each year. It is more
common over the age of 60 and affects slightly
more men than women.
At present the cause of most lymphomas is
unknown.
Thomas Hodgkin
English physcian and pathologist,
born August 17, 1798, in
Pentonville, St. James Parish,
Middlesex; died April 5, 1866,

Defence against Infection
The castle walls-first line of defence is the skin
and the mucosa
The foot soldiers -macrophages Complement,
and other immune cells send out chemical
messengers to call for reinforcements.
The cavalry-neutrophils -small, short-lived
immune cells ,swallow the invaders and kill
them
The SAS-Antibodies recognise and stick to
foreign material.B lymphocytes exist to produce
antibodies. infection is over, most of the B cells
die, but some live on as memory cells.
The generals-T lymphocytes major
histocompatibility complex (MHC), Helper T
cells Cytotoxic T cells recognise cells with
foreign proteins attached to MHC on their
surface and destroy them directly.

Location
The disease occurs most often in lymph nodes above the
collar bone. In Hodgkin's it is also more likely to appear in the
chest cavity between the lungs (the mediastinum), particularly
in younger patients.
In NHL it is more likely to appear in the nodes in the
abdomen (called the mesenteric nodes).
Only about 15% to 20% of cases are found in areas below the
diaphragm.
The disease occurs in the chest cavity in less than 40%
of patients. (An exception, lymphoblastic lymphoma,
which is seen most often in young people, is likely to
first appear in the chest.)
Disease occurs outside the nodes in about 4% of cases.
Disease occurs outside the nodes in about 23% of
patients. Slow-growing lymphomas are common in the
liver and bone marrow.
Affected Lymph Cells
B-Lymphocytes
characterized by the Reed-Sternberg Cell
B-Lymphocytes, T-Lymphocytes or Natural Killer (NK)
Cells depending on the subtype
Symptoms
More likely than NHL (40%) to have systemic ("B") symptoms
(such as fever and night sweats) at the time of diagnosis.
Less likely than HL to have systemic ("B") symptoms
(27%) at the time of diagnosis.
Progression
Less likely than NHL to be diagnosed in stage IV (10%).
Hodgkin's disease usually progresses in an orderly way from
one lymph node region to the next. This process may be slow,
particularly in younger people, or very aggressive. The
disease typically spreads downward from the initial site. If it
spreads below the diaphragm, it usually reaches the spleen
first; the disease then may spread to the liver and bone
marrow. If the disease starts in the nodes in the middle of the
chest, it may spread outward to the chest wall and areas
around the heart and lungs.
More likely than HD to be diagnosed in stage IV (36%)
but this will vary by NHL subtype.
The Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are less predictable in
their course than Hodgkin's and they are more apt to
spread.
Lymphoma Symptoms
(Hodgkin's Disease = HL, or a form of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma = NHL):
•Lymph node swelling, often in the upper body area but it can be in almost any node or
related organ. The node is usually NOT painful as opposed to infected lymph nodes which
are common and can be painful
(HL, NHL)
•A lack of energy, general fatigue. (HL, NHL)
•Weight loss - usually at least 10% over a short time (HL, NHL)
•Fevers which can come and go. This can be accompanied by chills or a feeling of
temperature swings (HL, NHL)
•Night sweats - unexplained sweating at night, often drenching (more often HL than NHL)
•Itching - itching without an apparent cause or rash, sometimes deep in the skin rather than
on the surface, sometimes on different parts of the body (more often HL than NHL)
Less Often:
•Some people have lower back pain that is unexplained (may be caused by expanding lymph
nodes pressing on nerves). (HL, NHL)
•Lymph nodes are possibly painful after alcohol consumption. (HL)
What now?
A good percentage of diagnoses are made during routine tests, x-rays, or even while
pregnant. This is how difficult it is to diagnose lymphoma based on external symptoms alone
Staging defines how widespread the
disease is and the locations of the
disease in the body.
Anne Arbor staging for Hodgkin's disease - Virginia.edu
Stage I - disease in single lymph node or lymph node region.
Stage II - disease in two or more lymph node regions on same
side of diaphragm.
Stage III - disease in lymph node regions on both sides of the
diaphragm are affected.
Stage IV - disease is wide spread, including multiple involvement at
one or more extranodal (beyond the lymph node) sites, such as the bone marrow
Extranodal notations
Extranodal means 'beyond nodal' - sites are
identified by the following notation:
ANN ARBOR notations
Ann Arbor staging further classifies patients with lymphoma into A or
B categories:
A = without symptoms
B = with symptoms including unexplained weight loss (10% in 6
months prior to diagnosis, unexplained fever, and drenching night
sweats.
Disease Staging may also be accompanied by local involvement of
an extranodal organ or site.
Example involving spleen and Ann Arbor notation: Stage IIIS A
Treatment
Lymphomas are usually treated by a
combination of chemotherapy,
radiation, surgery, and/or bone
marrow transplants. The cure rate
varies greatly depending on the type
of lymphoma and the progression of
the disease.

Additional experimental therapies for B-cell lymphomas:
-CD20-specific antibodies (Rituximab, Bexxarr, Zevalin):
target a tetraspanin on the surface of all B-cells and ablates
the entire B-cell compartment for over 6 months. Mechanism
of action is unknown. Rarely used as up-front therapy.
-Clonotypic antibodies to individual lymphomas: pioneered
by Ron Levy and his colleagues at Stanford. Current success
rate is 1 patient in 15 years.
Evidence for a possible role of outside agent in lymphomagenesis:
-pristane-induced plasmacytomas in mice and rats (Andreson and Potter, 1969)
-Retroviral infection of mice elicits T-cell lymphomas only in those strains that could
mount an immune response to the virus (McGrath and Weissman, 1979, Lee and
Ihle, 1981)
-Infection with Helicobacter pylori correlates well with MALT lymphoma - antibiotic
treatment leads to remission in these patients (Casella et al, 2001).
-Long-term untreated chronic GVHD after transplantation (Gleichmann
and Gleichmann, 1971)
-Large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL, FLL, BL) have been shown to express Ig
molecules on their surface, which bear the scars of affinity maturation; an
antigen-driven process (Klein et al, 1995, Chapman et al, 1995, Kuppers et al, 1997)
-The gene expression profiles of DLBCL cells resemble those of B-cells that
have mounted a response to antigen (Alizadeh et al, 2000).
These findings prompt the hypothesis that an antigenic stimulus may cooperate
with other tumorigenic influences in the genesis of lymphoid tumors
Autoimmunity and lymphoid neoplasia may represent different
parts of a single disease-spectrum:
-Patients who suffer from several autoimmune syndromes are
50-200 fold more likely to develop B-cell lymphomas
(Sjörgen’s syndrome, autoimmune thyroditis, autoimmune hemolytic
anemia, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis)
-Patients who develop the HTLV-1 associated tropical spastic parapesis
are also highly prone to develop T-cell lymphomas.
-Patients with NHL have been found to have high titers of
autoantibodies in their sera, and accompanying symptoms, such
as autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
-EBV infection correlates with some autoimmune diseases,
such as Hashimoto’s thyroditis.
Key differences: clonality of expanded population, disease grade, site of
anatomical presentation, FACS pattern, histopathology
