• Type of indolent NHL • In addition to high lymphocytes in blood may also cause: – Lymphadenopathy – Hepatomegaly and/or splenomegaly – Cytopenias • Due to massive bone marrow involvement OR • Hemolytic anemia and/or immune-mediated thrombocytopenia – B symptoms – Recurrent infections • Not curable • Treatment when symptomatic – Choice of chemotherapy agent(s) depends on age/frailty as well as disease characteristics Issue #1
• Infection: WBC increase! Double/triple/5x higher!
• Just watch and wait, monitor weekly
• Doubling time only counts if baseline > 30 initially!! Issue #2
• Watch the other counts!
• Autoimmune cytopenias: ITP or hemolytic anemia.
• Call if hemolysis seen/suspected: • Coombs +, haptoglobin absent, LDH/retic/Bili Issue #3
• New medicines: • Venetoclax: Tumour lysis syndrome
• Ibrutinib: causes BLEEDING/BRUISING – Avoid antiplatelet agents unless needed (ie cardiac stents) – Anticoagulants better (likely) Ibrutinib
• Highly effective • “empties” lymph nodes/marrow blood • Causes lymphocytosis for a few weeks after start
• Rash • Myalgias Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
• No live vaccines (Shingles): Shingrix • Give: prevnar then pneumovax; yearly Flu
• Avoid vaccine if rituximab 6 months prior Lymphoproliferative diseases: Objectives Lymphoma update
