On Sunday 17th June an oral abstract session took place at the 23rd Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA). Abstract S1547 was presented by Yucai Wang, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, US, on the impact of concurrent follicular lymphoma (FL) or other low-grade lymphoma on the clinical outcomes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The study aimed to compare clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with concurrent lymphoma or de novo DLBCL.
Dr Wang concluded that patients with DLBCL+FL at diagnosis mainly had Germinal center B-cell like (GCB) subtype, lower IPI scores and improved EFS and OS compared with de novo DLBCL patients. He added that DLBCL+FL is likely to behave similar to GCB DLBCL and that this should be taken into consideration when including these patients in DLBCL clinical trials.
