I am an 83 yr male- I had DLBCL when I was 61yrs old , had my spleen out and CHOP chem. -it was back 12 yrs later and I had RCHOP - back 7 yrs later more RCHOP - back again 3yrs and I am still fighting!
keep fighting!! I am going into radiation oncology in a few years. My dad is a Hodgkins survivor. Cancer patients are some of the strongest and best patients to look after.
This is a very good explanation! Thank you! My mother is 93 and was just diagnosed with DLBCL. Her left foot was swelling up. Numerous doctors visits and then 1 night her entire left swelled up. I took her to the ER and they found a mass encasing her iliac arteries and urterer. Biopsy took 1 week to get results. She had Rituxan and 2 days later chemo. She was sent home. Swelling is starting to go down finally. She also had a nephrostomy to help her left kidney drain into a bag. At 1st doctors were very grim. When they asked me her activity level and I told them she walks 4 miles a day, runs and dances twice a week, they decided try treatments to see if her body would tolerate them. So far so good!

Hi, Loving your videos! I find them very helpful. But at 4:02 you say that a performance status less or equal than 2 is a unfavourbale prognostic factor. Should't it be the opposite?
of course, I had diagnosed DLBCL, stage-2 at my 18. treatment with 3 R-CHOP and a total of 6 CHOP. I am 30 years old now with 2 children. Giving birth at my 23 yo & 26 yo.
A patient diagnosed with Peripheral T cell NHL in the year 2014. Location of the infected lymph node was Right Gorin, which enlarged to lower abdomen. Peripheral T cell NHL digonosed after excision biopsy. She got 7 Cycle CHOP and Radiotherapy. In September 2020 a PET-CT Scan done after she notice sever itching problem. PET scan showed an 70x51x70mm sized Anterior Mediastinal Mass with SUV max 11. Thoracic surgeon refused to operate the mass. A core biopsy and histochemestry done few days ago. Which shows an Intermediate grade Diffuse large B cell Lymphoma. CD20, BCL6 & MUM1 are positive. BCL2, CD3, CD5 & CD10 Negative. Bone marrow aspiration suggesting "Reactive marrow with myeloid hyperplasia and excess of lymphocytes". Before all these diagnosis the patient only faced itching problem. First symptom noticed on the beginning of August 2020. Last 24-26th October the patient suddenly faced swallowing face. An echocardiogram of the heart on 27th October showing small amount of fluid buildup around her heart. LDH lifted to 366. Her oncologists immediately suggest chemotherapy. The new chemo protocol is R-GCEOP. 1st Cycle started on 27th October and splited into 3 days. Rithuximab, Cyclophosphamide, Gemcitabine, Etopside, Vincristine, prednisone given. After 1st cycle chemo, face swallowing and itching removed significantly. Do you think the new protocol of chemotherapy is good for the patient? And is it possible that, a patient treated previously with T cell Lymphoma will affected newly by DLBCL? Is chemotherapy alone is good option to remove the DLBCL? If remove with chemo further Stem cell transplantation is necessary? Her current age 32 years.
I AM 73 AND HAVEN'T BEEN TO AN ONCOLOGIST SINCE 2010 AFTER HAVING R-CHOP AND IN REMISSION. I STOPPED GOING TO THE DR. THINKING I DIDN'T NEED TO. SHOULD I SEE AN ONCOLOGIST AFTER THIS LONG? I REALIZE NOW THAT IT CAN COME BACK.

Ok I'm just going to throw this out there. Wrt large B cell lymphoma. The normal function of B cells is to proliferate during an infection. Swollen lymph nodes are normal in infection. There is nothing that stands out in the definition of 'cancerous lymphoma' B cells that is functionally different from the repertoire of normal B cells. It seems diagnosis is by biopsying cell size. Well guess what, b cells can grow in size. Macrophages are good at taking up iron, making them larger, and iron is also a growth factor. Coincidentally, blood transfusions - a main cause of iron overload - are associated with lymphoma, something I feel is being downplayed. So in my mind, it's possible that 'large b cell lymphoma' is nothing more than a temporary expansion of b cells because of being inundated in iron (and say some infection). Temporary because eventually the iron would be deposited in the liver.

High grade B-cell lymphoma has a worse prognosis than normal DLBCL. I think 40% are alive within 2 years. It's great unmet medical need for high grade. Regular DLBCL 60% respond to RCHOP but high grade is refractory to RCHOP. Unsure if your father is HGBCL with Myc/bcl2/blc6 (DH/TH) or HGBCL-NOS but he might be treated with DA-EPOCH-R instead of R-CHOP. Definitely consider finding a clinical trial for your dad. There are quite a few in the DLBCL and also high grade BCL disease with more hope. Some of the CAR-T's are curative but I'm not sure if any are tested in high grade. I will also add FDA allows expanded or emergency use of drugs not even approved for emergency situations, if it is especially urgent. I'm sorry to hear of your dad's diagnosis but do some research, read a lot, on available trials and current therapies and get a good doctor, there's hope out there, wish him well.

For there was both side lymphadenopathy of diaphragm, but not involving extranodal area, stage III was indicated.
Exactly...You nailed it!

Both sides of the diaphragm

Both side off diaphram one lymph node from mediastinum and other from inguinal and illiac lymph node involment stage 3
Stage 3a : more than one group of lymph node is affected and it is below and above the diaphragm
How are now bro
stage IV because the mass is in the mediastinum, and you have multiple l.n in the inguinal and iliac (so we supose it's disseminated).

is it not performance status score >2 instead of below at 4:00
I think it will be stage (lll b)

Between 3,4 stage
Case answer: stage IIIa
Stage III because they are all above and below the diaphragm and is one side only which is involved.
On your slide for unfavorable prognosticators, I think you meant to include PS >= 2, not
It’s meant to be hypocalcemia
Why we use the diaphram ? Do we have any specific reasons?
upper and lower abdomen
