Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinicopathological features, mutation profile and prognostic influencing factors of primary bone diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PB-DLBCL).
Methods Patients newly diagnosed with PB-DLBCL in Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from May 2006 to September 2021 were enrolled in this study. Lymphoma related 55 gene targeted sequencing was used to describe the mutation landscape of patients. Univariate Cox regression model was used to evaluate the relationship between clinical factors and gene mutation status and progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
Results A total of 37 patients newly diagnosed with PB-DLBCL were enrolled, among which 21 cases were male (56.8%) and 21 patients (56.8%) aged > 60 years old. 22 patients (59.5%) were diagnosed at a stage of Ⅳ, 22 cases (59.5%) were non-germinal center B cell (non-GCB) subtypes, and 18 patients (48.6%) had international prognostic index (IPI) scores of 3-5. The results of targeted sequencing showed that MYD88, PIM1, CCND3, CD79B, CIITA, HIST1H1E, KMT2C, PRDM1, TNFAIP3 and ZFP36L1 were common mutation genes, with the mutation frequency higher than 20%. Univariate analysis showed that BTG2 gene mutation (P=0.015), MYD88 gene mutation (P=0.049) and double expressor lymphoma (DEL, P=0.009) were significantly associated with low PFS rate in PB-DLBCL patient.
Conclusions Non-GCB subtype is more common in PB-DLBCL patients, and DEL, BTG2 and MYD88 gene mutations are adverse influencing factors for PFS in PB-DLBCL patients.
