Genetic Stability of Driver Alterations in Primary Cutaneous Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, Leg Type and Their Relapses: A Rationale for the Use of Molecular-Based Methods for More Effective Disease Monitoring
Primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type (PCDLBCL-LT) is a rare, aggressive cutaneous lymphoma with a 5-year disease-specific survival of only ~55%. Despite high response rates to initial immune-polychemotherapy, most patients experience a disease relapse. The genetic evolution of p...

description | Primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type (PCDLBCL-LT) is a rare, aggressive cutaneous lymphoma with a 5-year disease-specific survival of only ~55%. Despite high response rates to initial immune-polychemotherapy, most patients experience a disease relapse. The genetic evolution of primary and relapsed/refractory disease has only scarcely been studied in PCDLBCL-LT patients. Therefore, in this retrospective cohort study, 73 primary/pre-treatment and relapsed/refractory biopsies of 57 patients with PCDLBCL-LT were molecularly characterized with triple FISH and targeted next-generation sequencing for 52 B-cell-lymphoma-relevant genes, including paired analysis in 16 patients. In this cohort, 95% of patients harboured at least one of the three main driver alterations (mutations in <i>MYD88</i>/<i>CD79B</i> and/or <i>CDKN2A</i>-loss). In relapsed/refractory PCDLBCL-LT, these oncogenic aberrations were persistently present, demonstrating genetic stability over time. Novel alterations in relapsed disease affected mostly <i>CDKN2A</i>, <i>MYC</i>, and <i>PIM1</i>. Regarding survival, only <i>MYC</i> rearrangements and <i>HIST1H1E</i> mutations were statistically significantly associated with an inferior outcome. The stable presence of one or more of the three main driver alterations (mutated <i>MYD88</i>/<i>CD79B</i> and/or <i>CDKN2A</i>-loss) is promising for targeted therapies addressing these alterations and serves as a rationale for molecular-based disease monitoring, improving response evaluation and early identification and intervention of disease relapses in these poor-prognostic PCDLBCL-LT patients. |
