Pierwotny skórny chłoniak z komórek b
Rokowania, prognozy i postęp choroby

Pierwotne skórne chłoniaki z komórek B (PCBCL) to heterogenna grupa nowotworów dojrzałych limfocytów B z tropizmem do skóry, różniąca się od chłoniaków węzłowych pod względem biologii i przebiegu klinicznego. Wyróżnia się trzy główne podtypy: indolentne PCFCL i PCMZL oraz agresywny PCDLBCL-LT. Indolentne podtypy cechują się doskonałym rokowaniem, z 5-letnim wskaźnikiem przeżycia powyżej 90% (PCFCL do 95%, PCMZL do 99%), natomiast PCDLBCL-LT wykazuje gorsze rokowanie z 5-letnim przeżyciem około 50%, szczególnie w lokalizacji kończynowej (41%). Rokowanie zależy od podtypu histologicznego, lokalizacji zmian (gorsze na nodze), liczby zmian (lepsze przy pojedynczych) oraz obecności rozsiewu pozaskórnego. Opracowany indeks prognostyczny CBCL-PI klasyfikuje pacjentów w cztery grupy ryzyka, z 5-letnim przeżyciem względnym od 94% w grupie IA do 34% w grupie III, co pozwala na lepsze dostosowanie strategii leczenia i monitorowania.

Pierwotny skórny chłoniak z komórek B – rokowanie (ocena przewidywanych wyników)

Pierwotne skórne chłoniaki z komórek B (PCBCL) stanowią heterogeniczną grupę nowotworów dojrzałych komórek B wykazujących tropizm do skóry. Biologia i przebieg kliniczny tych chłoniaków znacząco różnią się od ich odpowiedników węzłowych. Przebieg kliniczny PCBCL jest zazwyczaj bardziej indolentny, a rokowanie korzystniejsze niż w przypadku chłoniaków węzłowych, pomimo wysokiego odsetka nawrotów skórnych.1

Rokowanie w zależności od podtypu

Rokowanie w pierwotnych skórnych chłoniakach z komórek B zależy od kilku czynników, w szczególności od podtypu histologicznego oraz stadium zaawansowania.2 Wyróżnia się trzy główne typy PCBCL:

Indolentne podtypy PCBCL, czyli PCMZL i PCFCL, charakteryzują się doskonałym rokowaniem, z 5-letnim wskaźnikiem przeżycia przekraczającym 90% w obu przypadkach. W przeciwieństwie do nich, PCDLBCL, szczególnie typ kończynowy, ma bardziej poważne rokowanie, z 5-letnim wskaźnikiem przeżycia poniżej 60%.4

Bardziej szczegółowo, 5-letnie wskaźniki przeżycia wynoszą około 95% dla PCFCL pojedynczego lub wieloogniskowego, do 99% dla PCMZL i około 50% dla PCDLBCL-LT.56 Należy jednak zauważyć, że PCFCL zlokalizowany na nodze ma gorsze rokowanie, z 41% wskaźnikiem przeżycia w ciągu 5 lat.7

Indeks prognostyczny PCBCL

Opracowano indeks prognostyczny pierwotnego skórnego chłoniaka z komórek B (CBCL-PI), który identyfikuje niekorzystne kombinacje histologii i lokalizacji skórnej. Wyróżniono cztery grupy prognostyczne:

  • Grupa IA: histologie indolentne obejmujące dowolną lokalizację skórną
  • Grupa IB: histologia rozlanego chłoniaka z dużych komórek B obejmująca korzystne miejsca skórne (głowa/szyja, ramię)
  • Grupa II: histologia rozlanego chłoniaka z dużych komórek B obejmująca niekorzystne miejsca skórne (tułów, nogi, rozsiew) lub histologia immunoblastycznego chłoniaka z dużych komórek B obejmująca korzystne miejsca skórne
  • Grupa III: histologia immunoblastycznego chłoniaka z dużych komórek B obejmująca niekorzystne miejsca skórne

8

Skorygowane współczynniki ryzyka zgonu wynosiły odpowiednio 1,0, 1,3 (95% CI, 0,99-1,7), 2,1 (95% CI, 1,6-2,7) i 4,5 (95% CI, 2,8-7,2) dla grup od IA/B do III. Odpowiadające im 5-letnie przeżycia względne wynosiły 94%, 86%, 60% i 34%.9

Czynniki wpływające na rokowanie

Istnieje kilka kluczowych czynników, które wpływają na rokowanie w PCBCL:

  • Lokalizacja zmian: Zmiany mnogościowe na nodze mają złe rokowanie. 3-letnie przeżycie specyficzne dla choroby u pacjentów z mnogimi zmianami skórnymi wyniosło 39% w porównaniu z 77% u osób z pojedynczymi zmianami10
  • Liczba zmian: Pojedyncze zmiany mają lepsze rokowanie niż zmiany mnogie11
  • Wiek i ogólny stan zdrowia pacjenta12
  • Rozsiew pozaskórny: PCDLBCL-LT często rozprzestrzenia się do miejsc pozaskórnych, co wiąże się z gorszym rokowaniem pomimo agresywnej terapii13

Nawroty choroby

Chłoniaki skórne często nawracają po leczeniu. Zmiany mogą pojawić się w tej samej okolicy lub w nowej lokalizacji. Zazwyczaj są to te same podtypy co wcześniej, ale rzadko nawracający PCBCL może manifestować się jako choroba układowa lub inny typ chłoniaka.14

Pomimo doskonałego rokowania, pacjenci z indolentnymi PCMZL i PCFCL bardzo często doświadczają nawrotów skórnych.15 Rzadko dochodzi do transformacji chłoniaków indolentnych w typy o szybszym wzroście.16

Monitorowanie pacjentów

Ze względu na dobre rokowanie, pacjentów z indolentnymi PCMZL i PCFCL należy obserwować klinicznie co 6 miesięcy. Analizy i badania radiologiczne są uzasadnione tylko w przypadku dowodów na progresję choroby. Natomiast pacjenci z PCLBCL powinni być ściśle monitorowani (tj. co miesiąc lub kwartał).17

Ważne jest, aby regularnie przeprowadzać kontrole skóry i często odwiedzać dermatologa lub innego specjalistę w celu okresowych kontroli.18

Rzadkie podtypy o złym rokowaniu

Niektóre rzadkie podtypy PCBCL charakteryzują się szczególnie złym rokowaniem:

  • Neoplazja blastycznych plazmacytoidnych komórek dendrytycznych
  • Wewnątrznaczyniowy chłoniak z dużych komórek B

1920

Podsumowując, rokowanie w pierwotnych skórnych chłoniakach z komórek B zależy głównie od podtypu histologicznego, lokalizacji i liczby zmian. Indolentne podtypy (PCMZL i PCFCL) mają doskonałe rokowanie z 5-letnim wskaźnikiem przeżycia przekraczającym 90%, podczas gdy agresywne podtypy (PCDLBCL-LT) mają gorsze rokowanie z 5-letnim wskaźnikiem przeżycia około 50%. Indeks prognostyczny CBCL-PI może pomóc w identyfikacji pacjentów z niekorzystnym rokowaniem i może być przydatny w dostosowywaniu intensywności leczenia i harmonogramu obserwacji.

    Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of mature B-cells neoplasms with tropism for the skin, whose biology and clinical course differ significantly from the equivalent nodal lymphomas. […] The most indolent forms comprise the primary cutaneous marginal zone and follicle center B-cell lymphomas that despite the excellent prognosis have cutaneous recurrences very commonly. […] The most aggressive forms include the primary cutaneous large B-cell lymphomas, consisting in two major groups: the leg type, with poor prognosis, and others, the latter representing a heterogeneous group of lymphomas from which specific entities are supposed to be individualized over time, such as intravascular large B-cell lymphomas. […] The clinical course of PCBCL is generally more indolent and the prognosis is usually more favorable than that of their nodal counterparts, despite the high rate of cutaneous recurrences.

    Four primary CBCL prognostic index (CBCL-PI) groups were identified. Group IA included indolent histologies involving any skin site. Group IB included diffuse large B-cell histology involving favorable skin sites (head/neck, arm). Group II included diffuse large B-cell histology involving unfavorable skin sites (trunk, legs, disseminated) or immunoblastic large B-cell histology involving favorable skin sites.

The adjusted mortality hazards ratios were 1.0, 1.3 (95% CI, 0.99 to 1.7), 2.1 (95% CI, 1.6 to 2.7), and 4.5 (95% CI, 2.8 to 7.2) for groups IA/B to III, respectively.

[…] Your outlook (prognosis) depends on lots of factors, including your age and general health and the exact type of skin lymphoma you have.
