The primary objective of a retrospective clinical study led by Charit\u00e9-Universit\u00e4tsmedizin Berlin was to compare systemic and skin-directed therapies in primary cutaneous lymphoma (CBCL) with regard to survival and recurrence rates as well as time to the next line of therapy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<!--more-->\n\n<p>There are few research findings to date regarding the effectiveness of systemic and skin-directed therapies (SDT) in primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma (CBCL), as well as the respective survival and recurrence rates. The &#8220;time to next treatment&#8221; (ZZNT) is defined as the time from the start of treatment to the start of the next line of therapy and serves as a surrogate marker for efficacy, toxicity and patient compliance when evaluating treatment options. To date, ZZNT has been evaluated in clinical trials primarily for primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"methodology\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Methodology <\/h3>\n\n<p>Clinical data from patients of the Central Registry for Cutaneous Lymphoma of the Charit\u00e9 were extracted and analyzed using descriptive statistics. A total of 98 patients with CBCL were identified: 44 with follicular center lymphoma (FCL), 43 with marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) and 11 with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma\/leg type (DLBCL-LT). The average age at first diagnosis was 53, 48 and 76 years respectively. The SDT evaluated in this study included excision, radiotherapy, triamcinolone intralesional (i.l.) and topical steroids; systemic therapies included interferon-\u03b1 (IFN-\u03b1), (R)-CHOP chemotherapy and rituximab.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"results\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Results <\/h3>\n\n<p>On average, patients received 2 treatments. In patients with FCL, triamcinolone (i.l.), radiotherapy and excision were associated with the longest CNT, averaging 29, 24 and 24 months, respectively <strong>(Table 1) <\/strong>. In MCL, excision, IFN-\u03b1 and radiotherapy were associated with the longest CNT, averaging 23, 15 and 13 months, respectively. In DLBCL-LT, CHOP, excision and rituximab had the largest ZZNT with an average of 38, 32 and 18 months, respectively. Within 5 years of initial diagnosis, 36% and 35% of patients with FCL and MZL respectively relapsed. In patients with DLBCL-LT, the survival rate 5 years after initial diagnosis was 27%.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1160\" height=\"1175\" src=\"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/tab1_DP6_s25-1160x1175.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-371806\" srcset=\"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/tab1_DP6_s25-1160x1175.png 1160w, https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/tab1_DP6_s25-800x810.png 800w, https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/tab1_DP6_s25-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/tab1_DP6_s25-120x122.png 120w, https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/tab1_DP6_s25-90x90.png 90w, https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/tab1_DP6_s25-320x324.png 320w, https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/tab1_DP6_s25-560x567.png 560w, https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/tab1_DP6_s25-240x243.png 240w, https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/tab1_DP6_s25-180x182.png 180w, https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/tab1_DP6_s25-640x648.png 640w, https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/tab1_DP6_s25-1120x1134.png 1120w, https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/tab1_DP6_s25.png 1488w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 id=\"conclusion\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion <\/h3>\n\n<p>This retrospective study represents the first investigation of ZZNT in patients with CBCL. In this cohort, FCL and MZL patients relapsed with similar frequency. Aggressive courses of DLBCL-LT have been confirmed in the literature. Compared to systemic therapies, SDT showed superiority in FCL and MZL by an average of 4-16 months. In view of the rarity of CBCL and the nevertheless high number of cases in the present cohort, the results can support clinical treatment decisions.<\/p>\n\n<p><em>Source: Cankaya R, et al.: Hautgerichtete oder systemische Therapien bei prim\u00e4r kutanem B-Zell-Lymphom?
