OBJECTIVE: Patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection have been associated with development of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), yet its impact on several clinical aspects, including phenotypic characteristics and treatment-related toxicities as well as survival outcome after rituximab-based immunochemotherapy, remains controversial.
METHODS: To elucidate the characteristics of HCV-positive DLBCL in the context of a new prognostic model, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network International Prognostic Index (NCCN-IPI), we retrospectively analyzed DLBCL patients diagnosed and treated with immunochemotherapy at our institute during the last decade.
RESULTS: In all, HCV infection was identified in 22 (17.7%) of 124 DLBCL patients. Except for being more likely to present with an advanced stage of disease, patients with HCV infection were phenotypically indistinguishable from HCV-negative cases. Multivariate analysis showed 3 factors independently predicted a dismal overall survival (OS) outcome: lower albumin level (<3 g/dL vs. ≥3 g/dL, p<0.001; HR=13.21, 95% CI=2.69-64.98, p=0.001), presence of HCV infection (vs. HCV-negative; HR=9.75, 95% CI=1.97-48.34, p=0.005), and poor NCCN-IPI risk (high-intermediate or high vs. low-intermediate or low; HR=5.56, 95% CI=1.17-26.55, p=0.031).
CONCLUSIONS: Our study has demonstrated that HCV infection status and low serum albumin level add important prognostic values to the newly proposed NCCN-IPI model for patients with DLBCL.
