Abstract
Interstitial pneumonia (IP) is a significant adverse effect of chemotherapy in B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) patients. This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics, risk factors, and treatment outcomes associated with IP in these patients. A retrospective review of 615 NHL patients treated at the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from 2016 to 2021 identified 50 patients with IP post-chemotherapy as the case group. A propensity score matched control group of 55 patients without pneumonia was established. Clinical profiles, risk factors, and treatment outcomes were evaluated. The IP incidence was 8.13% (50/615) in B-cell NHL patients. Multivariate analysis revealed liposomes, elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) as independent risk factors for IP. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analyses suggested that alterations in LDH and ESR could predict IP risk. The conclusion suggests that IP is associated with liposomal doxorubicin-induced lung injury and other cytotoxic chemotherapy, possibly due to Rituximab (RTX)-induced immune imbalance. Given the potential of IP with pulmonary infections, high-risk patients may need prophylactic antibiotics and appropriate corticosteroid therapy.
间质性肺炎(IP)是B细胞非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)患者化疗的一个重要不良反应。本研究旨在确定与这些患者间质性肺炎相关的临床特征、风险因素和治疗结果。通过对河北医科大学第四医院2016年至2021年收治的615例NHL患者进行回顾性研究,发现50例化疗后IP患者为病例组。建立了一个倾向评分匹配对照组,由55名未患肺炎的患者组成。对临床概况、风险因素和治疗效果进行了评估。B 细胞 NHL 患者的 IP 发生率为 8.13%(50/615)。多变量分析显示,脂质体、乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)升高和红细胞沉降率(ESR)是IP的独立风险因素。接收者操作特征曲线(ROC)分析表明,乳酸脱氢酶和血沉的变化可预测 IP 风险。结论表明,IP与脂质体多柔比星诱导的肺损伤和其他细胞毒性化疗有关,可能是由于利妥昔单抗(RTX)诱导的免疫失衡所致。鉴于 IP 有可能引发肺部感染,高危患者可能需要预防性使用抗生素和适当的皮质类固醇治疗。
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Cancer Research (AJCR) (ISSN 2156-6976), is an independent open access, online only journal to facilitate rapid dissemination of novel discoveries in basic science and treatment of cancer. It was founded by a group of scientists for cancer research and clinical academic oncologists from around the world, who are devoted to the promotion and advancement of our understanding of the cancer and its treatment. The scope of AJCR is intended to encompass that of multi-disciplinary researchers from any scientific discipline where the primary focus of the research is to increase and integrate knowledge about etiology and molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis with the ultimate aim of advancing the cure and prevention of this increasingly devastating disease. To achieve these aims AJCR will publish review articles, original articles and new techniques in cancer research and therapy. It will also publish hypothesis, case reports and letter to the editor. Unlike most other open access online journals, AJCR will keep most of the traditional features of paper print that we are all familiar with, such as continuous volume, issue numbers, as well as continuous page numbers to retain our comfortable familiarity towards an academic journal.
