Q

What is the Pathophysiology of Non-Hodgkins?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Malignant B or T Lymphocytes that proliferate and replace nomral cells in the lymph nodes or bone marrow
  • 85% B & 15% T
19
Q

What are some of the Risk factors for Non-Hodgkins?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Epstein-Barr Virus: change B cell DNA
  • H. Pylori
  • Herpes virus 8
20
Q

How is Non-Hodgkins presented?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Depends on location: B-cell [lymph node, spllen, bone marrow] & T-cell [skin or lungs]
  • Leads to organ destruction [Lymphadenopathy]
21
Q

What are some of the B Symtpoms?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Fever
  • Sweat
  • Weight Loss
22
Q

What is the way that we are able to dianosis Non-Hodgkins?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Excisional Biopsy: remove lymph
  • CT/PET scan
  • Bone Marrow Biopsy
  • LUMBER PUNCTURE: not in CNS
22
Q

What are some of the main differences between Hodgkins and Non-Hodgkins?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Hodgkins: Single group, Waldeyer ring rarely involved, Extranodal RARE
  • Non-Hodgkins: Multiple groups, Waldeyer ring common, Extranodal common
22
Q

What are some of the B-Cell Lymphomas in Non-Hodgkins?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Indolent [25-40%]: Long survival & Incurable
  • Aggressive [60-75%]: Rapid growth, short survival, CURABLE
  • Highly Aggressive: Doubling Time 18hr, Curable [Burkitt’s]
22
What is the way that we stage Non-Hodgkins?
- Ann Arbor & International Prognostic Index - IPI: Age > 60, Abnormal LDH, Performace > 2, Ann Arbor III or IV, Extranodal > 2
23
What are some of the treatments that we can use in Non-Hodgkins?
- Rads, Chemo, Immunotherapy, Autotransplant, CAR-T, BiTE
24
What is Follicular Lymphoma in Non-Hodgkins?
- 2nd most common: 22% [incurable = slow growth] - Treat is symptomatic [organ failures, bone marrow failures...]
25
What are some of the treatments for Follicular Lymphoma in Non-Hodgkins?
- 1st line: Bendamustine + Rituximab, R-CHOP
26
What is Richter's Transformation in Non-Hodgkins?
- When Non-Hodgkins becomes Diffuce Large B-Cell Lymphoma [AGGRESIVE] - Will still have follicular & DLBCL
27
What is Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma?
- Genetic abnormalities with MYC, BCL2, BCL6 [two = double-hit; three = triple-hit]
28
What are the multi-agents chemotherapy agents that are used in DLBCL in Non-Hodgkins?
- R-CHOP - Pola + R + CHP
29
What is R-CHOP in DLBCL in Non-Hogkins?
- Rituximab [CD20], Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, Prednisone
30
What is in Pola + R + CHP in DLBCL in Non-Hodgkins?
- Polatuzamab Vedotin, Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Doxoubicin, Prednisone - $400,000!!
31
What is the treatment for DLBCL in Non-Hodgkins?
- Stage I-II: R-CHOP 3 cycles or 6 cycles - Stage III-IV: R-CHOP 6 cycles or Pola+R+CHP 6 cycles
32
What is important to know about Hepatitis B in Non-Hodgkins?
- Reactivation that can cause liver failure and death - Test HBsAg & HBcAb before Rituximab - PRETREAT with entecavir [if +]
33
What is important to know about relapsed DLBCL/Aggressive Non-Hodgkins?
- CURE: salvage chemo [prove chemo works] then autologous stem cell transplant - Palliative: Bendamustine + Rituximab + Polatuzumab - BiTE: Epcoritamab or Glofitamab
34
What are some of the BiTE that are used in Non-Hodgkins?
- Epocoritamab & Glofitamab - Helps move T-cells closer to B-cells [CD3 to CD19] causing b-cell lysis
35
What is Burkitts Lymphoma?
- HIGHLY AGGRESSIVE [DLBCL] - Always MYC translocation - Starty Sky Apperance
36
What is the Pathophysiology of Multiple Myeloma?
- Abnormal clonal plasma cells that go into the bone marrow causing MM cells to NOT DIE - Releases Immunoglobulins [IgG 60%]
37
What is Presentation of Multiple Myeloma?
- C: hyperCalcemia - R: Renal dysfunction - A: Anemia - B: Bone - one or more lesion
38
What is the treatment strategies for Multiple Myeloma?
- Transplant? - NO: 3 drugs - YES: 3 drugs --> Stem Cell
39
Breif summary of Multiple Myeloma?
- INCURABLE - 3 DRUGS BOI - High dose chemo then stem cell [Induction-->consolidation-->maintenance]
40
Brief summary of Lymphoma?
- Hodgkins and Non-Hodgkins - Hodgkins = ABVD - Non-Hodgkins = R-CHOP
