Van Cleave MSN, ACNP-CS, CS, AOCN Acute Care Nurse Practitioner The Mount Sinai Medical Center of New York City Doctoral Student, Yale University School of Nursing Mr. L. is a 65 year old gentleman Has enlarged cervical lymph node Surgeons remove lymph node Pathology shows small lymphocytic lymphoma Doctor recommends to watch and wait Non-Hodgkin s Lymphoma Mr. D is a 65 year old Has enlarged cervical lymph node Surgeons remove lymph node Shows Diffuse Large B-cell B Lymphoma Oncologist recommends R-CHOP R Non-Hodgkin s Lymphomas Why are these two patients treated differently? Normal Maturation of Lymphocytes Differentiation of healthy lymphocytes Stem cells in bone marrow Rearrangement of genes to form immunoglobulin or T-T cell receptors Exposure to antigen Large proliferating cells Hypermutation improves antigen specificity Hennessy et al., Lancet Oncology, 2004 Non-Hodgkin s Lymphoma Differentiation of healthy lymphocytes Lymphocyte differentiation and maturation Antigen profile determines B or T cell B Cell: CD19, CD20, CD22, CD40, CD45, CD 79a T Cell: CD3, CD4, CD5, CD8, CD 45 Hennessy et al., Lancet Oncology,
