Abstract

The pathological and clinical features were reviewed of all primary non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) of the thyroid gland diagnosed between 1973 and 1992 in the population (1.1 million) served by the Nottingham and North Nottinghamshire Health Authorities. Of the 43 patients with histologically proven NHL, three had low grade mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas (Stage IEA, 2; Stage IIEA, 1), 35 had intermediate or high grade lymphomas, Stage IEA or IIEA (intermediate MALT, 2; high grade MALT, 14; B-cell diffuse centroblastic, 17; anaplastic large cell (Ki-1) of null cell type, 1; high grade unclassifiable, 1), and one had unclassifiable NHL Stage IIEA. One patient had Stage IIIEA disease (high grade MALT) and three had stage IVA disease (high grade MALT, 2; B-cell diffuse centroblastic, 1). The median age was 68 years (range 45-86) with a female: male ratio of 6:1. For the 35 patients with intermediate or high grade thyroid NHL (Stages IEA and IIEA) the 5- and 10-year cause specific survival was 60%. The 21 patients treated between 1985 and 1992 initially with chemotherapy (except stage IEA (< 5 cm diameter) had a 5-year cause specific survival of 69% (95% CI 48-90) compared with 46% (95% CI 19-73) for the 14 patien...Continue Reading

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.
