Epidemiologic Characteristics, Treatment Patterns, and Survival Analysis of Plasmablastic Lymphoma in the United States : A SEER and NCDB Analysis

BACKGROUND: Plasmablastic Lymphoma (PBL) is a rare aggressive B-cell lymphoma that primarily affects immunocompromised individuals, including those living with HIV. Historically, survival estimates are dismal and range from 8 to 15 months. We aimed to evaluate epidemiologic characteristics, treatment patterns and survival trends on a national scale.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients diagnosed with PBL from 2010 to 2020 were identified in the National Cancer Database (NCDB) and in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program. Incidence rates were calculated using SEER. Demographic features, treatment characteristics, and overall survival (OS) were identified using the NCDB.

RESULTS: We identified 1153 patients in the SEER database and 1822 patients in the NCDB. The incidence of PBL is 0.07 cases per 100,000 US population per year. PBL is more common in males (77%), and white patients (77%), with 50% of cases in patients with HIV. Patients who were treated with multiagent chemotherapy had a median OS of 58.6 months. On multivariate Cox regression, we found that HIV status did not have a significant impact on OS. Factors associated with worse OS included advancing age and stage.

CONCLUSION: We present the largest study to date on PBL. Among treated patients, we described a median OS of 58.6 months, greatly improved from previously reported estimates. We found that HIV status did not have a significant impact on OS. While OS remains poor, therapeutic advances over the last decade are promising and highlight the need for continued clinical advances aimed at improving therapeutic options for this rare lymphoma.
