Zusammenfassung: | Objective: Although the therapeutic outcome of aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) has been considerably improved by the introduction of combination chemotherapy, many patients still fail to achieve complete response(CR) and/or long-term survival. Because the outcome appears to depend on certain prognostic factors, long term prognosis can be predicted by identification of risk group. And also, the patients in high risk group may benefit from new therapeutic modality. In 1993, the international prognostic index model for aggressive NHL as developed far the purpose of predicting outcome and designing of therapeutic trial. Thus, analysis of prognostic factors was performed to identify independent factors for the end points of CR, overall survival, and disease-free survival. Methods : From 1989 to 1994, total 340 patients were treated with combination chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy for NHL in Korea Cancer Center Hospital. Among 340, informations on eleven prognostic factors(sex, age, performance status, Ann Arbor stage, serum LDH level, tumor size, number of extranodal disease sites, bone marrow involvement, presence of B symptom, sex, time to CR, and histologic grade) were avaliable for 273 patients. Among these, 221 patients with aggressive NHL(NCI clinical schema) were eligible for the prognostic factor analysis for the response and survival. Also, 186 patients were eligible to determine whether International Prognostic Index Model could be applicable for Korean NHL. Results: One hundred fifty patients(68%, 95% CI 62-74%) achieved a complete remission, 43 patients (20%) a partial remission. With a median follow-up of 3,5 years, overall 3 year survival rate was 6396, and 3 year DFS for the 150 CRs was 72%. In a univariate analysis for the CR and survival, Ann Arbor stage, number of extranadal disease, performance status, presence of B symptoms, presence of BM involvement, serum LDH level and histologic grade were found to be statistically significant prognostic factors. Among them, by multivariate analysis, number of extranodal disease(RR 0.2, 95% CI 0.1-0.7), B Symptoms (RR 0.4, 95% CI 0.2-0.9), and histologic grade(RR 0.2, 95% CI 0.08-0.7) showed to be independent adverse prognostic factors for CR. For disease-free survival, Ann Arbor stage(RR 2.6, 95% CI 1.1-6.4) was independent risk factor. For overall survival, number of extranodal involvement(RR 2, 95% CI 1.3-4) and histologic grade(RR 2, 95% CI 1.2-3.7) were independently significant prognostic |
