Abstract
- Systemic anaplastic lymphoma kinase positive (ALK+) anaplastic large cell lymphoma with extranodal involvement (ALCL-E) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. No large study in the literature has compared the survival outcomes among different primary extranodal sites of involvement in ALK+ ALCL-E. We identified 1306 patients with ALK+ ALCL-E diagnosed between 2004 and 2014 in the US National Cancer Database, among whom 387 had primary extranodal site in the chest/abdomen/pelvis, 103 in the bone, 62 in the central nervous system, 134 in the head and neck and 620 in the cutaneous/soft tissue. Younger age, lower Charlson-Deyo score, lower clinical stage, receipt of chemotherapy and receipt of radiotherapy were predictors of longer overall survival. Patients with extranodal involvement of central nervous system and chest/abdomen/pelvis had shorter overall survival than those with involvement of head and neck, bone, and cutaneous/subcutaneous tissue after adjusting for confounding variables. We recommend treating these patients upfront with more aggressive therapy.
