Bacteria-eradicating therapy with doxycycline in ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma: a multicenter prospective trial.
BACKGROUND An association between ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma (OAL) and Chlamydia psittaci (Cp) infection has been proposed, and recent reports suggest that doxycycline treatment causes tumor regression in patients with Cp-related OAL. The effectiveness of doxycycline treatment in Cp-negative OAL has not been tested. METHODS In a prospective trial, 27 OAL patients (15 newly diagnosed and 12 ...
متن کاملBacteria-eradicating therapy for ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma: questions for an open international prospective trial.
We read with great interest the article by Grünberger et al. on the ‘blind’ administration of doxycycline in a retrospective series of 11 patients with ocular adnexal lymphoma of MALTtype (OAL) [1]. Authors used this therapy on the basis that, in the Italian experience [2], most cases of OAL were shown to be related to chlamydial infection. However, a centralized molecular assessment of chlamyd...
متن کاملChlamydia-psittaci-eradicating antibiotic therapy in patients with advanced-stage ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma.
Twenty-five percent of ocular adnexal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma (OAML) patients have disseminated disease (distant nodal and/or extranodal lesions) [1]. These patients are usually treated with chemotherapy, which is active though, sometimes, too toxic, or with rituximab, which is better tolerated but has only transient activity. Generally, these patients experience multi...
متن کاملA20 inactivation in ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma.
Recent studies showed A20 inactivation by deletion, mutation and promoter methylation in ocular adnexal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. However, the incidences of A20 abnormalities and their clinical impact remain for the most part unknown. It is also unknown whether ABIN-1 and ABIN-2, the components of the A20 NF-κB inhibitor complex, are inactivated by genetic changes in ocular ad...
متن کاملOcular adnexal MALT lymphoma: an intriguing model for antigen-driven lymphomagenesis and microbial-targeted therapy.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas constitute one half of malignancies arising in the orbit and the ocular adnexae. Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT)-type lymphoma is the most common histological category in this anatomic region. The incidence of ocular adnexal lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue-type (OAML) is increasing and recent studies offered new relevant insights in molecular, path...
