    Abstract:
    CD5+ diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), NOS represents a distinct subset of DLBCL associated with poorer outcomes and extranodal disease. We analyzed characteristics and outcomes for 102 CD5+ DLBCL patients diagnosed between 2001-2016. The majority had poor-risk disease based on R-IPI scores; 80% had extranodal disease at diagnosis. CNS relapse occurred 23% of the time. Median PFS and OS was 18.9 months and 112 months, respectively. Four-year PFS rates were 100%, 53%, and 41% for patients with R-IPI scores of very good, good, and poor, respectively. CD5+ DLBCL represents a subset of patients with poor outcomes despite rituximab and anthracycline-based regimens. There is a need for novel therapies and clinical trials for this high-risk group of patients. Given high rates of CNS relapse, better CNS prophylaxis with frontline therapy requires more study.
