PMBCL化疗后增强CT显示肿块消失的下一步治疗

对于原发纵隔大B细胞淋巴瘤(PMBCL)在初始化疗后增强CT显示肿块消失的患者,应立即进行PET-CT评估以确定是否需要巩固放疗,而不是仅凭CT结果决定治疗方案。1

关键的下一步评估

  • 必须进行治疗结束时(EOT)的PET-CT扫描,因为CT显示肿块消失并不等同于完全代谢缓解,PET扫描对于指导是否需要巩固放疗至关重要1
  • 使用Deauville评分系统评估PET结果:D1-D3或DX被认为是PET阴性,预后良好1
  • PET阴性患者(Deauville 1-3)的5年无进展生存率可达90-91%,而PET阳性患者仅为71%1

基于PET结果的治疗决策算法

如果PET扫描阴性(Deauville 1-3或DX):

  • 不需要巩固放疗,可以直接进入观察随访1, 2
  • 这种PET指导的策略可以使大多数患者(约72%)避免放疗及其长期毒性1
  • 5年总生存率可达97%1

如果PET扫描阳性(Deauville 4-5):

  • Deauville 4的患者:考虑纵隔受累野放疗(ISRT),5年无进展生存率约87%1
  • Deauville 5的患者:强烈建议活检确认,因为5年无进展生存率仅33%1
    • 如果活检阳性,应按难治性疾病处理,考虑挽救化疗方案3, 4
    • 如果活检阴性但PET持续阳性,可考虑巩固放疗1

随访监测方案

  • 前2年:每3个月进行病史、体格检查、血常规、生化全套和LDH检查5
  • 第3-5年:每4-6个月随访一次5
  • 5年后:每6-12个月随访一次5
  • 在6、12和24个月时进行CT扫描5
  • 不推荐常规监测性PET扫描用于完全缓解的患者5

关键注意事项

  • 约10-30%的PMBCL患者会出现难治或复发3, 4
  • 单纯依靠CT评估可能低估残留病变,因为纤维化组织在CT上可能表现为肿块消失,但PET可能仍显示代谢活性1
  • 如果初始治疗使用的是R-CHOP方案,PET指导的放疗策略尤为重要1
  • 如果使用DA-EPOCH-R方案且PET阴性,通常不需要放疗,5年无事件生存率可达93%2

难治或复发情况的处理

如果后续出现疾病进展:

  • 适合的患者应接受挽救化疗(如R-DHAP或R-ICE)联合利妥昔单抗5, 3
  • 对化疗有反应的患者应进行大剂量化疗联合自体干细胞移植5, 3, 6
  • 新兴治疗选择包括PD-1抑制剂(pembrolizumab)、CAR-T细胞治疗等4, 2
