Abstract

There is lack of data on outcome of limited stage pediatric non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) from south Asia. In view of this lacuna, authors evaluated patients of early stage (stage 1 and 2) non-lymphoblastic pediatric NHL patients treated with uniform short course, reduced-intensity protocol from Jan 2003 through Dec 2016. Of the total 280 subjects with pediatric NHL, 50 were of early stage of which 42 received uniform protocol. B-cell subtype was observed in 83% patients. Event-free-survival (EFS) and overall-survival (OS) were 85% and 90% respectively at 5 y (median-not reached). Age > 13 y emerged as the only poor risk factor for EFS (p = 0.05) on univariate analysis and same had a trend toward inferior prognosis in OS (p = 0.09). Vincristine-induced neuropathy occurred in five patients. Febrile neutropenia was observed in 16% subjects with one patient requiring hospitalization. There was no treatment-related death. This largest data of limited stage pediatric non-lymphoblastic NHL from south Asia highlights that good outcomes may be achieved with less intense short course therapy without hospitalization, and that adolescent age is the only poor prognostic factor for outcome.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 February 2018.
All research outputs
#18,587,406
of 23,023,224 outputs
Outputs from Indian Journal of Pediatrics
#1,130
of 1,553 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#329,481
of 439,449 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Indian Journal of Pediatrics
#20
of 29 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,023,224 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,553 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.1. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 439,449 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 29 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
