    Abstract Background: Staging and treatment of rectal cancer have evolved over several decades with considerably fewer locoregional recurrences but no marked improved survival since systemic recurrence risks remain virtually unchanged. This development will briefly be summarised followed by a thorough discussion of two recent developments.
    Methods: A systematic approach towards the literature is aimed at focusing on organ preservation and the delivery of all non-surgical treatments prior to surgery or total neoadjuvant treatment (TNT).
    Results: Organ preservation, that is to defer surgery if the tumour happens to disappear completely after any pre-treatment given to locally advanced tumours to decrease recurrence risks has increased in popularity and is, if not universally, widely accepted. To give neo-adjuvant treatment to intentionally obtain a clinically complete remission to avoid surgery is practised in some environments but is mostly still experimental. TNT, that is to provide both radiotherapy and chemotherapy aimed at killing microscopic disease in the pelvis or elsewhere has been subject to several trials. Collectively, they show that the chance of achieving a complete response, pathologically or clinically, has approximately doubled, increasing the chance for organ preservation, and the risk of distant metastasis has decreased at least in some trials. The best schedule remains to be established.
    Conclusions: To obtain substantial progress and also improve survival, the systemic treatments need to be improved even if preoperative delivery is more effective and better tolerated than postoperative. The locoregional treatment may be further optimised through better risk prediction.

    Abstract Inherited loci have been found to be associated with risk of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). A combined polygenic risk score (PRS) of representative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from these loci may improve risk prediction over individual SNPs. Herein, we evaluated the association of a PRS with CLL risk and its precursor, monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL). We assessed its validity and discriminative ability in an independent sample and evaluated effect modification and confounding by family history (FH) of hematological cancers. For discovery, we pooled genotype data on 41 representative SNPs from 1499 CLL and 2459 controls from the InterLymph Consortium. For validation, we used data from 1267 controls from Mayo Clinic and 201 CLL, 95 MBL, and 144 controls with a FH of CLL from the Genetic Epidemiology of CLL Consortium. We used odds ratios (ORs) to estimate disease associations with PRS and c-statistics to assess discriminatory accuracy. In InterLymph, the continuous PRS was strongly associated with CLL risk (OR, 2.49;

    Abstract For most patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), R-CHOP immunochemotherapy leads to complete remission and 60-70% of patients remain progression-free after 5 years. Given a median age of 65, it is relevant to disentangle how DLBCL and DLBCL therapy influence health care use among the survivors. In this nationwide study, the health care use among Danish DLBCL patients diagnosed in 2007-2015, who achieved complete remission after R-CHOP(-like) therapy, was explored and compared to matched comparators from the Danish general population. The post-remission 5-year risk of hospitalization was significantly higher among DLBCL survivors (55%) compared to matched comparators (49%, P < 0.001). DLBCL survivors had on average 10.3 (9.3-11.3) inpatient bed days within 5 years of response evaluation, whereas matched comparators had 8.4 (7.9-8.8). The rate of outpatient visits was also significantly higher(excluding routine follow-up visits, incidence rate ratio, 1.3, P < 0.001), but translated into only a very small absolute difference of <1 outpatient visits within 5 years between DLBCL survivors (4.2 visits, 95% CI, 4.0-4.4) and matched comparators (3.8 visits, 95% CI, 3.7-3.9). In conclusion, DLBCL survivors have an increased incidence of hospital visits due to a wide range of conditions, but in absolute terms the excess use of health care services in DLBCL survivors was small.

    Abstract Routine follow-up for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma have been shortened to 2 years when event-free survival at 24 months (EFS24) emerged as a new milestone. In the present study, we aimed to determine whether the achievement of this milestone affected overall survival (OS). We compared OS to that of an age- and sex-matched population, analysed other factors governing OS, and reviewed the causes of death. Data were collected from the Swedish Cancer Registry and from individual patient's records. We included 1169 adult patients from five counties between the years 2001 and 2014. The median (range) age was 64·6 (18-91) years, 56·6% were men and the median follow-up was 82·3 months. For early stages, the achievement of EFS12 did not improve OS. More than two-thirds of the patients (n = 837, 71·6%) achieved EFS24, of which 190 (22·7%) died during follow-up. Lymphoma (20%), cardiovascular disease (22·4%) and malignancies (16%) contributed to causes of death. Patients aged <60 years had an OS that matched the standard population. In multivariate analysis, only age >60 years significantly affected OS after EFS24 compared with the standard population. We concluded that follow-up beyond EFS24 should be considered for patients aged >60 years.

    Abstract Objective: Determinants of the increased risk of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in SLE are unclear. Using data from a recent lymphoma genome-wide association study (GWAS), we assessed whether certain lupus-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were also associated with DLBCL.
    Methods: GWAS data on European Caucasians from the International Lymphoma Epidemiology Consortium (InterLymph) provided a total of 3857 DLBCL cases and 7666 general-population controls. Data were pooled in a random-effects meta-analysis.
    Results: Among the 28 SLE-related SNPs investigated, the two most convincingly associated with risk of DLBCL included the CD40 SLE risk allele rs4810485 on chromosome 20q13 (OR per risk allele=1.09, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.16, p=0.0134), and the HLA SLE risk allele rs1270942 on chromosome 6p21.33 (OR per risk allele=1.17, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.36, p=0.0362). Of additional possible interest were rs2205960 and rs12537284. The rs2205960 SNP, related to a cytokine of the tumour necrosis factor superfamily TNFSF4, was associated with an OR per risk allele of 1.07, 95% CI 1.00 to 1.16, p=0.0549. The OR for the rs12537284 (chromosome 7q32, IRF5 gene) risk allele was 1.08, 95% CI 0.99 to 1.18, p=0.0765.
    Conclusions: These data suggest several plausible genetic links between DLBCL and SLE.

    Abstract Plasma cells are important prognostic actors in different malignancies. The tumour microenvironmental composition in classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is a major prognostic key element; however, clinicopathological studies regarding plasma cells in cHL are lacking. The aim of this study was to investigate CD138+ (also termed SDC1+) plasma cell and IgG4 producing (IgG4+) plasma cells infiltration in the microenvironment of cHL. Immunohistochemistry with anti-CD138 and IgG4 antibodies was performed on diagnostic tumour biopsies from 124 patients with cHL, on tissue micro array (TMA). In 120 cases, CD138+ plasma cell-infiltration was associated with the presence of B-symptoms (P = 0·028) and advanced stage, IIB-IVB (P = 0·009). In multivariate analysis, CD138+ plasma cells correlated with eosinophil infiltration (P = 0·013). The subgroup of IgG4+ plasma cells was analysed in 122 cases and only correlated to CD138+ plasma cells (P = 0·004). Patients with high proportion of tumour infiltrating CD138+ plasma cells (defined as ≥10%), had a more inferior event-free survival (P = 0·007) and overall survival (P = 0·004) than patients with a low proportion of infiltrating CD138+ plasma cells (<10%), although significance was not maintained in multivariate analysis. In summary, a high proportion of tumour-associated plasma cells in cHL reflect an important component in the microenvironment of cHL.

    Abstract Evidence from a small number of studies suggests that longer telomere length measured in peripheral leukocytes is associated with an increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). However, these studies may be biased by reverse causation, confounded by unmeasured environmental exposures and might miss time points for which prospective telomere measurement would best reveal a relationship between telomere length and NHL risk. We performed an analysis of genetically inferred telomere length and NHL risk in a study of 10 102 NHL cases of the four most common B-cell histologic types and 9562 controls using a genetic risk score (GRS) comprising nine telomere length-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms. This approach uses existing genotype data and estimates telomere length by weighing the number of telomere length-associated variant alleles an individual carries with the published change in kb of telomere length. The analysis of the telomere length GRS resulted in an association between longer telomere length and increased NHL risk [four B-cell histologic types combined; odds ratio (OR) = 1.49, 95% CI 1.22-1.82,P-value = 8.5 × 10(-5)]. Subtype-specific analyses indicated that chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) was the principal NHL subtype contributing to this association (OR = 2.60, 95% CI 1.93-3.51,P-value = 4.0 × 10(-10)). Significant interactions were observed across strata of sex for CLL/SLL and marginal zone lymphoma subtypes as well as age for the follicular lymphoma subtype. Our results indicate that a genetic background that favors longer telomere length may increase NHL risk, particularly risk of CLL/SLL, and are consistent with earlier studies relating longer telomere length with increased NHL risk.

    Abstract Background: Comorbidity impacts overall survival amongst patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, associations of comorbidity with lymphoma characteristics, treatment selection and lymphoma-specific mortality are less well known.
    Objective: To examine the impact of comorbidity on DLBCL characteristics, treatment intent and cause of death.
    Methods: We identified 3905 adult patients diagnosed with DLBCL 2007-2013 through the Swedish Lymphoma Register. We assessed comorbid disease history according to the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI). Comorbidity data and causes of death were collected through register linkage. Associations were estimated using multinomial regression and flexible parametric survival models.
    Results: Overall, 45% of the patients (n = 1737) had a history of at least one comorbidity at DLBCL diagnosis (cardiovascular disease, diabetes and solid cancer were most frequent), and 997 (26%) had a CCI score of ≥2. The relative probability of presenting with poor performance status (PS > 2) was higher amongst comorbid patients [Relative Risk Ratio (RRR)
    Conclusion: Comorbidity is associated with inferior DLBCL outcome, mainly due to a lower likelihood of receiving treatment with curative intent. Possibly, more comorbid DLBCL patients could be treated with curative intent if comorbid conditions were optimized in parallel.
