3 (includes Grade 3b Follicular Lymphoma) Pathological Diagnosis Review by member of regional lymphoma pathology group Immunophenotyping / Immunohistochemistry MYC re-arrangement testing (by FISH) FISH for relevant cytogenetic/molecular abnormalities Initial Evaluation Physical examination Performance status B symptoms FBC, U&E, LFT, Ca, urate LDH, B2 - microglobulin Hepatitis B, C and HIV ECG if indicated CXR if pulmonary involvement at diagnosis CT scan of neck, chest, abdomen & pelvis Depending on site of disease imaging of head and neck or MRI may be appropriate Bone marrow aspirate & trephine (could omit if baseline PET undertaken) Cardiac echo or MUGA scan (consider if >60 years, history of cardiac disease, hypertension, diabetes, heavy smoker) Lumbar puncture (LP) only if symptoms of CNS disease Management All patients should be discussed at an MDT Special consideration for those patients <18y Effective treatment of DLBCL and Burkitt /Burkitt-like lymphoma in this age group is available with a paediatric approach. Consideration for following a paediatric treatment protocol (FAB/LMB96 type approach using low dose anthracycline, ref 1) should be given to those <18y. Page 3 of 11

4 Stage I II III IV Localised, one nodal area Two or more nodal areas on the same side of the diaphragm Nodal disease on both sides of diaphragm (including spleen) Extranodal disease (including bone marrow involvement) Stage is suffixed with A or B depending on the absence or presence of B symptoms (fevers, drenching night sweats, weight loss of 10% body mass) International Prognostic Index (IPI) and Revised IPI (R-IPI) This should be recorded for all patients. Risk factors Age > 60 years Raised LDH Performance status 2 Ann Arbor stage 3 Two or more extranodal sites of disease IPI Risk factors (n) Risk category DLBCL 3yr OS 0-1 Low 91% 2 Low-intermediate 81% 3 High-intermediate 65% 4-5 High 59% R-IPI Risk factors Prognostic group 4 year PFS (%) 0 Good 94 1 or 2 Intermediate 80 3, 4 or 5 Poor 53 Page 4 of 11

5 Induction therapy Clinical Management Guideline for CNS prophylaxis recommended if: raised LDH + > 1 extranodal site involvement of following sites: testes, breast, epidural space, paraspinal mass, paranasal sinuses (see ref 2) intravascular B cell lymphoma (see ref 3) MYC +ve (ref 4) HIV +ve (Refer to separate CNS prophylaxis policy) Consider primary PEG GCSF prophylaxis (day 2) for patients >70yrs Stage 1A, no risk factors Stage 1A with risk factors (bulk 10cm, high LDH, extranodal site), IB, II-IV R-CHOP x 3 then IF radiotherapy R-CHOP x 6 Consider reduced dose doxorubicin or R-CEOP if impaired cardiac function (ref 5) If dose reduction being considered in elderly patients, consider R-miniCHOP (ref 6) MYC +ve patients Consider R CODOX-M/IVAC regimen in view of poor outcome with R-CHOP and high risk of CNS relapse (ref 4). If concerns re tolerability of this regimen, due to age/comorbidity Dose adjusted R-EPOCH is a reasonable alternative (ref 8). Radiotherapy In patients undergoing RT, this may be with either involved site or involved field RT In patients with stage IA disease receiving 6 cycles of chemotherapy, local radiotherapy may be considered in >60s with prior bulk disease, patients in whom salvage chemotherapy may not be feasible, patients receiving attenuated systemic chemotherapy Page 5 of 11

6 Interim restaging (post 3rd or 4th cycle) CT imaging Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) No Response (NR) or Progressive Disease (PD) Continue R-CHOP to total of 6 cycles (8 cycles no longer recommended, RICOVER study, ref 7) Change to salvage regimen (see below) Restaging at completion of treatment CT imaging Repeat other positive baseline studies Consider PET-CT if residual mass CR (including residual PET neg mass) PR with single PET positive mass NR, PD or PR with multiple PET positive masses Follow up as per separate policy Consider radiotherapy Salvage therapy or palliation In patients with a single PET +ve lesion, biopsy may be considered Page 6 of 11

7 Relapsed/refractory disease Fit patient Unfit patient R-IVE* x 3 or R-ESHAP* x 3 (if low albumin) Consider palliative chemotherapy (PECC or CEPP), radiotherapy or steroids Chemosensitive? Yes No BEAM autopbsct Consider palliative chemotherapy (PECC or CEPP), radiotherapy or steroids In patients with a single site of disease at relapse, radiotherapy may used as consolidation treatment after autologous stem cell transplant. *Rituximab should be omitted if primary refractory disease or progression within 6 months of Rituximab containing regimen. In selected cases there may still be a place for a GIANNI type approach in patients with true primary refractory disease. Page 7 of 11
