Canine nodal marginal zone lymphoma (nMZL) is infrequent and is typically diagnosed at an advanced disease stage. However, it is currently unknown whether different levels of peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) infiltration may provide prognostic stratification in dogs with nMZL. The aims of the present prospective study were to assess the influence of PB and BM infiltration detected by flow cytometry (FC) on time to progression (TTP) and lymphoma-specific survival (LSS) in dogs with newly-diagnosed multicentric nMZL, and to establish a cut-off value of prognostic significance. Forty-five completely staged and treatment-naïf dogs with histologically-confirmed nMZL were enrolled. After staging, dogs received chemo-immunotherapy or chemotherapy. PB infiltration was significantly associated with TTP (p = 0.001): dogs with PB infiltration <30% had a median TTP of 186 days, whereas dogs with PB infiltration ≥30% had a median TTP of 43 days. Additionally, vaccinated dogs had a significantly (p = 0.012) longer TTP (399 days) compared with dogs receiving chemotherapy only (211 days). BM infiltration was significantly associated with LSS (p < 0.001): dogs with BM infiltration <1% had a median LSS of 1403 days, those with BM infiltration 1–20% of 337 days, and those with BM infiltration ≥20% of 188 days. Normal LDH levels and the administration of chemo-immunotherapy also significantly improved LSS (560 vs 211 days, and 399 vs 211 days, respectively; p < 0.001). PB and BM flow cytometric evaluation is an integral part of staging work-up in dogs with nMZL and has prognostic relevance.

Abstract
Canine nodal marginal zone lymphoma (nMZL) is infrequent and is typically diagnosed at an advanced disease stage. However, it is currently unknown whether different levels of peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) infiltration may provide prognostic stratification in dogs with nMZL. The aims of the present prospective study were to assess the influence of PB and BM infiltration detected by flow cytometry (FC) on time to progression (TTP) and lymphoma-specific survival (LSS) in dogs with newly-diagnosed multicentric nMZL, and to establish a cut-off value of prognostic significance. Forty-five completely staged and treatment-naïf dogs with histologically-confirmed nMZL were enrolled. After staging, dogs received chemo-immunotherapy or chemotherapy. PB infiltration was significantly associated with TTP (p = 0.001): dogs with PB infiltration <30% had a median TTP of 186 days, whereas dogs with PB infiltration ≥30% had a median TTP of 43 days. Additionally, vaccinated dogs had a significantly (p = 0.012) longer TTP (399 days) compared with dogs receiving chemotherapy only (211 days). BM infiltration was significantly associated with LSS (p < 0.001): dogs with BM infiltration <1% had a median LSS of 1403 days, those with BM infiltration 1–20% of 337 days, and those with BM infiltration ≥20% of 188 days. Normal LDH levels and the administration of chemo-immunotherapy also significantly improved LSS (560 vs 211 days, and 399 vs 211 days, respectively; p < 0.001). PB and BM flow cytometric evaluation is an integral part of staging work-up in dogs with nMZL and has prognostic relevance.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
