Extranodal Extension

This study is a prospective, single center, phase II clinical study involving 108 patients with primary and late stage Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma complicated by large masses and extranodal involvement. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of radiotherapy targeting large masses and extranodal involvement in treatment-naïve advanced DLBCL patients with large mass lesions and/or extranodal involvement after they had initially been treated with standard immunochemotherapy and received complete remission as assessed by PET-CT.
After completing the standard immunochemotherapy, subjects will be randomly divided into the radiotherapy group or the non-radiotherapy group, and the curative effects will be evaluated every three months after the end of the treatment or after their leaving the group, so as to obtain the relevant data and data of the 2-year Progression Free Survival, survival of the subjects and Treatment-related side effects.

Patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma with extranodal (esp. central nervous system) involvement treated with Low-Dose Decitabine plus anti-PD-1 regimen. 3 weeks for a cycle, with a total of 2 years or until the disease progress esor unacceptable toxicity occurs, or the patient decides to withdraw from the trial.

Tumor deposits (TD), nodules in the peritumoral adipose tissue with no architectural residue of lymph node, which is a definition often being confusing to the extranodal extension (ENE), have been described in several malignancies and linked to a worse prognosis. In gastric cancer and colon cancer, TD and ENE should be distinguished and collected separately in 8th AJCC manual. However, in thyroid cancer, TD as a collection variable was absence in both the 8th AJCC manual and the 2015 ATA guideline. This is a study that revealed the presence of TD by reviewing a large number of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) specimens and explored its prognostic value by constructing a nomogram to accurately predict disease-free survival in PTC patients.
