ABSTRACT
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.
