    Abstract Background and purpose: The role of radiotherapy (RT) in lymphoma is constantly refined with the advent of novel treatments. However, RT is still an effective treatment and tolerability is high. Therefore, we aimed to describe the use of RT in primary treatment of lymphoma over calendar time, with a specific focus on older patients (age ≥ 70 years) with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) subtypes.
    Materials & methods: All adult patients diagnosed with lymphoma from 2007 to 2018 in Sweden were included and followed for survival until end of 2020. Patient characteristics and relative survival (RS) were described for patients with NHL by subtype and RT use.
    Results: In the cohort of lymphoma patients aged ≥ 70 years (n = 12,698) 11 % received RT as part of primary treatment. No decline in use of RT over calendar period was seen. Use of RT as monotherapy was associated with stage I-II disease and older age among patients with stage III-IV disease. Patients with indolent lymphomas aged ≥ 70 years who were selected for treatment with RT as monotherapy with a dose of ≥ 20 Gy had 2-year RS rate of 100 % which remained similar at five years. For patients with DLBCL, RT as monotherapy with a dose of ≥ 20 Gy was mostly administered to patients aged ≥ 85 years with a 2-year RS rate of 68 %.
    Conclusion: The use of RT in first-line lymphoma treatment was stable over calendar time. RT monotherapy is associated with encouraging outcomes among patients with NHL aged ≥ 70 years who were selected to receive this.

    Abstract Background & purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic posed a large challenge for healthcare systems across the world. Comprehensive data on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on incidence and mortality in lymphoma are lacking.
    Patients/methods: Using data from the Swedish lymphoma register, we compare incidence and 1-year survival of lymphoma patients in Sweden before (2017-2019) and during the pandemic (2020 and 2021).
    Results: Fewer patients were diagnosed with lymphomas during March-June 2020, but the annual incidence rates for 2020 and 2021 were similar to those of 2017-2019. A larger proportion of patients presented with stage IV disease during 2021. There were no differences in other base-line characteristics nor application of active treatment in pre-pandemic and pandemic years. One-year overall survival was not inferior among lymphoma patients during the pandemic years compared to pre-pandemic years i.e., 2017-2019.
    Interpretation: The COVID-19 pandemic had limited impact on the incidence and mortality of lymphoma in Sweden.

    Abstract Background: Achieving lasting remission for at least 2 years is a good indicator for favourable prognosis long term after Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The aim of this study was to provide real-world probabilities, useful in risk communication and clinical decision-making, of the chance for lasting remissions by clinical characteristics.
    Methods: DLBCL patients in remission after primary treatment recorded in the Swedish Lymphoma register 2007-2014 (n = 2941) were followed for relapse and death using multistate models to study patient trajectories. Flexible parametric models were used to estimate transition rates.
    Results: At 2 years, 80.7% (95% CI: 79.0-82.2) of the patients were predicted to remain in remission and 13.2% (95% CI: 11.9-14.6) to have relapsed. The relapse risk peaked at 7 months, and the annual decline of patients in remission stabilised after 2 years. The majority of patients in the second remission transitioned into a new relapse. The probability of a lasting remission was reduced by 20.4% units for patients with IPI 4-5 compared to patients with IPI 0-1, and time in remission was shortened by 3.5 months.
    Conclusion: The long-term prognosis was overall favourable with 80% achieving durable first remissions. However, prognosis varied by clinical subgroups and relapsing patients seldom achieved durable second remissions.

    Abstract Studies on late effects in patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) are becoming increasingly important as survival is improving, and novel targeted drugs are being introduced. However, knowledge about late effects is limited. The aim of this population-based study was to describe the magnitude and panorama of late effects among patients treated with or without high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation (HD-ASCT). The study cohort included all patients with MCL, recorded in the Swedish Lymphoma Register, aged 18 to 69 years, diagnosed between 2000 and 2014 (N = 620; treated with HD-ASCT, n = 247) and 1:10 matched healthy comparators. Patients and comparators were followed up via the National Patient Register and Cause of Death Register, from 12 months after diagnosis or matching to December 2017. Incidence rate ratios of the numbers of outpatient visits, hospitalizations, and bed days were estimated using negative binomial regression models. In relation to the matched comparators, the rate of specialist and hospital visits was significantly higher among patients with MCL. Patients with MCL had especially high relative risks of infectious, respiratory, and blood disorders. Within this observation period, no difference in the rate of these complications, including secondary neoplasms, was observed between patients treated with and without HD-ASCT. Most of the patients died from their lymphoma and not from another cause or treatment complication. Taken together, our results imply that most of the posttreatment health care needs are related to the lymphoma disease itself, thus, indicating the need for more efficient treatment options.

    Abstract Among female rats, some individuals show estrus cycle-dependent irritability/aggressive behaviors, and these individual rats may be used as a model for premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). We wanted to investigate if these behaviors are related to the estrus cycle phase containing moderately increased levels of positive GABA-A receptor-modulating steroids (steroid-PAM), especially allopregnanolone (ALLO), and if the adverse behavior can be antagonized. The electrophysiology studies in this paper show that isoallopregnanolone (ISO) is a GABA-A-modulating steroid antagonist (GAMSA), meaning that ISO can antagonize the agonistic effects of positive GABA-A receptor-modulating steroids in both α1β2γ2L and α4β3δ GABA-A receptor subtypes. In this study, we also investigated whether ISO could antagonize the estrus cycle-dependent aggressive behaviors in female Wistar rats using a resident-intruder test. Our results confirmed previous reports of estrus cycle-dependent behaviors in that 42% of the tested rats showed higher levels of irritability/aggression at diestrus compared to those at estrus. Furthermore, we found that, during the treatment with ISO, the aggressive behavior at diestrus was alleviated to a level comparable to that of estrus. We noticed an 89% reduction in the increase in aggressive behavior at diestrus compared to that at estrus. Vehicle treatment in the same animals showed a minimal effect on the diestrus-related aggressive behavior. In conclusion, we showed that ISO can antagonize Steroid-PAM both in α1β2γ2L and α4β3δ GABA-A receptor subtypes and inhibit estrus cycle-dependent aggressive behavior.

    Abstract Purpose: With modern treatments, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients more frequently experience long-lasting remission resulting in a growing population of long-term survivors. Follow-up care includes identification and management of treatment-related late-effects, such as secondary malignancies (SM). We conducted a population-based study to describe the burden of SM in MCL patients.
    Methods: All patients with a primary diagnosis of MCL, aged ≥ 18 years and diagnosed between 2000 and 2017 in Sweden were included along with up to 10 individually matched population comparators. Follow-up was from twelve months after diagnosis/matching until death, emigration, or December 2019, whichever occurred first. Rates of SM among patients and comparators were estimated using the Anderson-Gill method (accounting for repeated events) and presented as hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) adjusted for age at diagnosis, calendar year, sex, and the number of previous events.
    Results: Overall, 1 452 patients and 13 992 comparators were followed for 6.6 years on average. Among patients, 230 (16%) developed at least one SM, and 264 SM were observed. Relative to comparators, patients had a higher rate of SM, HR
    Conclusions: MCL survivors have an increased risk of SM, particularly if treated with R-bendamustine. The intensive treatments needed for long-term remissions are a concern, and transition to treatment protocols with sustained efficacy but with a lower risk of SM is needed.

    Title translation Paraganglioma (glomus tumour) of the head and neck, a rare and demanding diagnosis.
    Abstract Paragangliomas of the head and neck are rare tumours arising from extraadrenal ganglia. They are highly vascular lesions and are normally benign and not hormone secreting. Symptoms are usually discreet and the tumours often present as a lump in the neck or are diagnosed incidentally. Evaluation of paragangliomas of the head and neck, and surgery when indicated, is highly specialized care to be performed at two hospitals nationwide (in Region Uppsala and Region Skåne). Historically, treatment has mainly been surgical. However, with a multidisciplinary evaluation of each case recommendations can be individualized and treatment options may include surgery, radiotherapy or watchful waiting (wait-and-scan). When surgery is recommended for paragangliomas of the neck, it is best performed in collaboration between head-neck surgeons and vascular surgeons. Follow up in benign cases is mainly done through imaging.
