Primary thyroid lymphomas

Current Treatment Options in Oncology
Sandy Widder, J L Pasieka

Abstract

Primary thyroid lymphoma is a rare disease that continues to produce diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas. There was great difficulty in distinguishing thyroid lymphoma from anaplastic thyroid carcinoma but, because of new immunocytochemical staining techniques and increased cytopathologic knowledge, our ability to diagnose thyroid lymphoma has improved drastically over the past decade. Surgery that was once the mainstay of treatment for this disease, now plays a minimal role. Current treatment regimens for primary thyroid lymphoma consist of chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) and external beam radiation. The overall and distant relapse rates have been shown to be significantly lower in those patients receiving combined modality therapy compared to chemotherapy or radiation alone. Although the role of surgery has changed over time, it continues to play an important role, especially in confirming diagnoses through open biopsies, potentially providing local control in the more indolent subtypes, and may play a role in the palliation of symptoms for large obstructive lymphomas. The evolving classification of extranodal lymphomas has brought about a better understanding of the biologic behavior...Continue Reading
