Objective:
To explore and analyze the clinical features and prognostic factors of secondary intestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (SI-DLBCL), in order to provide reference for the basic research and clinical diagnosis and treatment of secondary lymphoma of rare sites in the field of hematology.
Methods:
The clinical data of 138 patients with SI-DLBCL admitted to Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from June 2011 to June 2022 were collected and sorted, the clinical and pathological features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis were analyzed. Cox regression risk model was used to conduct univariate and multivariate analysis on the prognostic risk factors.
Results:
Among the 138 patients with SI-DLBCL included in this study, 85 (61.59%) were male, 53 (38.41%) were female, the median age of onset was 59.5 (16-84) years, the clinical manifestations lacked specificity, the first-line treatment regimen was mainly chemotherapy (67.39%), 94 cases (68.12%) received chemotherapy alone, 40 cases (28.98%) were treated with chemotherapy combined with surgery, and 4 cases (2.90%) were treated with surgery alone. The median follow-up time was 72 (1-148) months. Among the 138 patients with SI-DLBCL, 79 (57.25%) survived, 34 (24.64%) died, 25 cases (18.12%) lost to follow-up, the PFS rates of 1-year, 3-year and 5-year were 57.97%, 49.28% and 32.61%, and the OS rates of 1-year, 3-year and 5-year were 60.14%, 54.35% and 34.06%, respectively. The results of univariate Cox regression analysis showed that age, Lugano stage and IPI score were the influencing factors of OS in SI-DLBCL patients, and age, Lugano stage and IPI score were the influencing factors of PFS in SI-DLBCL patients. The results of multivariate Cox analysis showed that Lugano stage was an independent prognostic factor affecting OS and PFS in SI-DLBCL patients.
Conclusion:
Patients with SI-DLBCL are more common in middle-aged and elderly men, and the early clinical manifestations lack specificity, and the first-line treatment regimen is mainly R-CHOP chemotherapy, and Lugano stage is an independent prognostic factor affecting OS and PFS in SI-DLBCL patients.

01:30Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is classified into subtypes based on the predominant bowel habits as determined by the Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS). The subtypes are:
01:27Histology of the Small Intestine
The intestinal lining features transverse folds called circular folds, each housing fingerlike projections known as intestinal villi. These villi are covered by a layer of simple columnar epithelium, also referred to as...
01:17Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...
01:15Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
01:27Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
