Prognostic impact of CD5 expression in diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma in patients treated with rituximab‐EPOCH

Objectives CD5‐positive (CD5+) diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) represents 5%‐10% of all DLBCL cases, which has been associated with a poorer prognosis in patients treated with R‐CHOP. Prognostic impact of CD5 expression in patients with DLBCL treated with R‐EPOCH has not been evaluated. Method...

Description
Summary:Objectives CD5‐positive (CD5+) diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) represents 5%‐10% of all DLBCL cases, which has been associated with a poorer prognosis in patients treated with R‐CHOP. Prognostic impact of CD5 expression in patients with DLBCL treated with R‐EPOCH has not been evaluated. Methods We studied 130 patients with de novo DLBCL who received frontline R‐EPOCH therapy. The clinicopathologic features and overall survival (OS) were compared between patients with CD5+ and CD5‐ DLBCL. MYC, BCL2, and BCL6 rearrangements were examined by fluorescent in situ hybridization. Results Sixteen (12.3%) of 130 DLBCLs were CD5+. Most clinicopathologic features including cell of origin and frequency of MYC, BCL2, and BCL6 rearrangements were similar between CD5+ and CD5− groups. Patients with CD5+ DLBCL, however, showed higher rate of central nervous system relapse (33.3% vs 15.6%; P
