On Friday 15th June an oral abstract session took place at the 23rd Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA). Abstract S103 was presented by Francesca Guidetti, Institute of Oncology Research, Bellinzona, Switzerland, provided an interim analysis of the IELSG46 study. This study aimed to investigate the impact of different biological aspects of splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) on disease survival.
Dr Guidetti explained that there are 133 genes that are recurrently mutated in SMZL and lymphomas. Molecular genetics have improved the knowledge of MZL pathogenesis and although the disease is indolent, the disease is still incurable. It has been found that molecular features of SMZL associated with prognosis are; immunoglobulin gene mutations, 7q deletion, NOTCH2 mutations, KLF2 mutation and TP53 disruption.
Dr Guidetti concluded that patients with the TP53 mutation (10%) had a lower probability of OS. Patients with NOTCH2/KLF2 mutations have a lower relative survival compared to the matched general population.
