Zusammenfassung
Grundlagen: Primäre gastrointestinale Non-Hodgkin-Lymphome (NHL) treten in fallender Häufigkeit im Magen, Dünndarm, Kolorektum, Waldeyerschen Rachenring und Ösophagus auf. Die geringe Gesamtinzidenz und die Tatsache, daß bisher meist die Behandlung außerhalb klinischer Studien erfolgte, machen die Bewertung einzelner Therapiemodalitäten und ihrer Kombinationen für Remissionsinduktion, relapsfreies und Gesamtüberleben schwierig. Diese Problematik wird durch die meist gemeinsame Behandlung niedrig- und hochmaligner Entitäten in den zudem kleinen und retrospektiven Berichten verstärkt.
Methodik: Dies ist eine kritische Übersicht über den Stellenwert chemotherapeutischer Verfahren als alleiniger oder neoadjuvanter Therapie von gastrointestinalen NHL, allenfalls in Kombination mit tumorverkleinernder Operation oder Strahlentherapie. Zudem werden die Bedeutung der Chemotherapie im adjuvanten und palliativen Einsatz sowie die Rolle verschiedener Chemotherapeutikaregime und die Modifikationen der Behandlung in verschiedenen klinischen Situationen und bei differenten Tumorlokalisationen beschrieben, wie sie aus dem Stand der Literatur ableitbar sind.
Ergebnisse: In vielen Lokalisationen wird bei Stadien I mit Restriktion des Tumorbefalls auf Mukosa und Submukosa mittels Operation allein bereits eine hohe CR- und Kurationsrate erreicht, die in vielen Stadien durch adjuvante Radio- oder Chemotherapie erhöht werden kann. Die adjuvante Therapie ist aber jedenfalls bei transmuraler Tumorausbreitung in die Serosa oder Lymphknoten bzw. R1-Resektion und hochmaligner (Teil-)Komponente indiziert. Sie wird in Stadien II aufgrund der deutlich geringeren kompletten Resektabilität meist eo ipso postoperativ erforderlich. In einigen Studien konnte mittels alleiniger Chemo- ± Radiotherapie eine hohe Organpräservations-, CR- oder Heilungsrate erzielt werden, wobei der Stellenwert einer zusätzlichen primären „Debulking“-Operation ungeklärt blieb. Zumindest bei Tumoren im Waldeyerschen Rachenring waren die besten Erfolge mit Radiotherapie und anschließender CHOP-Chemotherapie zu erzielen. Hochmaligne Erkrankungen erfordern bei etablierter Chemotherapieindikation den Einsatz eines anthrazyklinhaltigen Regimes, mit Ausnahme lymphoblastischer Lymphome kann keine Überlegenheit besonders aggressiver Chemotherapien angenommen werden.
Schlußfolgerungen: Die Feststellung des wahren Stellenwertes der einzelnen therapeutischen Maßnahmen für eine erfolgreiche Therapie und eine Weiterentwicklung der derzeitigen Behandlungsqualität mit dem Ziel optimierter medizinischer Kosten-/Nutzenrelation bedarf hinkünftig konsequenter Durchführung prospektiv randomisierter klinischer Studien.
Summary
Background: Primary gastrointestinal Non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas most frequently occur in the stomach, and with a lower incidence in the intestine, colorectum, Waldeyer’s ring and esophagus. The exact value of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy or the combination of these treatment modalities for the achievement of remission, relapse-free and overall survival of patients with these diseases remains ill-defined at present. This is mainly due to the fact that most series are retrospective and small, patients with high and low grade malignancies were often included in these series and patients were treated on an individualized basis outside of clinical trials.
Methods: This is a critical survey concerning the role of cytotoxic chemotherapy used alone or in combination with tumor debulking surgery or radiotherapy in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant or palliative setting. Based on the currently available literature, the usefulness of various cytotoxic regimens and the adaptation of treatment modalities to individual clinical situations and to the localization of the neoplasma are discussed.
Results: In many organ sites surgical resection of localized stage disease restricted to the mucosa and submucosa alone may be sufficient for a long-term disease free survival, and the relapse rate may be reduced and the cure rate increased by adjuvant radio- and/or chemotherapy. Both treatment modalities are mostly considered necessary in situations of tumor spread through the serosa, lymph node involvement, R1-resection or a high grade malignant component of the resected tissue. In most cases, adjuvant therapy is necessary in stage II disease, since the tumor may not be resected completely and the likelihood of dissemination may be increased. In some series on localized stages of disease, a high rate of organ conservation, CR rate and overall survival could be achieved by chemo ± radiotherapy alone, while the role of primary surgical debulkment in conjunction with combined treatment modality remains widely undefined. At least in tumors of the Waldeyer ring, radiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy with CHOP proved superior to any other treatment modality. High-grade NHL definitely require anthracyclin-containing regimes, but with the exception of lymphoblastic NHL the role of more aggressive treatment regimes remains open.
Conclusions: The contribution of individual modalities to the successful treatment of gastrointestinal lymphomas as well as an improvement in the therapeutical cost/benefit ratio urgently call for the future performance of large controlled prospective clinical trials.
