INTRODUCTION: Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) is a rare and indolent form of NHL with no standard treatment due to scarcity of clinical trials. Watch and wait approach, single agent rituximab or with chemotherapy and splenectomy are valid treatment approaches. No population-based studies examining the impact of chemotherapy and splenectomy on survival of SMZL patients are available. Thus, we decided to compare survival outcomes by clinical factors in SMZL patients deposited in the SEER database, emphasizing in the role of splenectomy on survival outcomes. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of SMZL cases in the SEER database from 1997 to 2016.SEER collects cancer incidence and survival data from population-based cancer registries covering 34% of the U.S. population. PATIENTS: SEER database was queried for SMZL patients at all ages from 1997 to 2016. Cases without histologic confirmation or no survival data were excluded. Demographic and clinical variables (age, sex, race, ethnicity, B-symptoms, Ann-Arbor stage, DLBCL transformation, first malignancy, chemotherapy with or without rituximab, splenectomy and radiotherapy) were summarized by descriptive statistics. Logistic regression used to determine variables associated with splenectomy. Overall survival (OS) and Cancer-specific survival (CSS) were the major end-points, estimated by Kaplan-Meier method. Cox regression used to calculate Hazard Ratios. RESULTS: 2212 patients met inclusion criteria, with a median age of 68yo (25-96). Patient characteristics were a follows: males (n=1152, 52.1%); whites (n=1991, 90.0%), blacks (112, 5.1%); Non-Hispanics (n=2049, 92.6%); B-symptoms (n=461, 20.8%); first malignancy (n=1754, 79.3%); Ann-Arbor Stage I (429, 19.4%), Stage IV (n=1351, 61.1%); DLBCL transformation (n=84, 3.8%). Adjusted Odds ratio (aOR) were used to compare splenectomy versus non-splenectomy treated patients: ≥60yo (aOR 0.49;0.40-0.62), males (aOR 0.77;0.64-0.93). Median survival of all the patients was 120 months (95%CI:111-132); On univariate analysis: shorter OS was significantly associated with age ≥60(HR 3.55;2.87-4.38) and non-first malignancy(HR 1.6;1.36-1.88), while shorter CSS was significantly associated with age ≥60(HR 1.76;1.33-2.34), B-symptoms (HR 1.93;1.44-2.60), Stage IV (HR 1.62;1.15-2.28), DLBCL transformation (HR 2.27;1.55-3.33) and treatment with chemotherapy (HR 1.54;1.22-1.94). On multivariate analysis, shorter OS was significantly associated with age ≥60(HR 3.52;2.83-4.37), male sex (HR 1.15;1.00-1.33), B-symptoms (HR 1.23;1.01-1.51) and non-first malignancy (HR 1.42;1.20-1.67). Shorter CSS was significantly associated with age ≥60(HR 2.15;1.61-2.87), Hispanic ethnicity (HR 1.44;1.00-2.07), B-symptoms (HR 1.77;1.30-2.39), DLBCL transformation (HR 2.03;1.38-2.99) and treatment with chemotherapy (HR 1.38;1.07-1.77). Ann Arbor staging and splenectomy were not associated with OS or CSS. CONCLUSIONS: Older age, Hispanic ethnicity, B-symptoms, DLBCL transformation, and treatment with chemotherapy were associated with poor lymphoma-specific survival. Although, age<60 and female gender were associated higher odds to undergo splenectomy, splenectomy had no impact on the risk of lymphoma-related death or OS. This retrospective study demonstrates that chemotherapy treatment (excluding rituximab) was associated with inferior outcomes in SMZL, while advanced Ann-Arbor stage was not associated with shorter survival as is observed in other indolent lymphomas that commonly present at advanced stage.

8549 Background: Despite advances in diagnosis and therapy, over 50% of patients with splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) undergo splenectomy. The objective of this retrospective study was to compare outcomes in SMZL patients undergoing surgery or rituximab-containing chemoimmunotherapy (RCIT) based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-Medicare linked database. Methods: Records of 521 SMZL patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2007 were extracted, excluding cases with incomplete Medicare coverage. Two treatment arms were defined by receipt of RCIT or splenectomy within 2 years of diagnosis. Factors confounding treatment selection or prognosis were balanced in both arms using a propensity score. The primary endpoint was lymphoma-related death, estimated using competing risk models, with overall survival (OS) and toxicities as secondary endpoints. Results: Of the 341 eligible patients (median age, 77 years), 67 (20%) were untreated, while 169 (50%) underwent splenectomy and 97 (28%) chemotherapy (64% single-agent rituximab) at median 1.4 months from diagnosis. Stage IE, treatment in a teaching hospital and good performance status were associated with a preference for splenectomy. There was no evidence of significantly different risk of lymphoma-related death after treatment with RCIT rather than surgery (hazard ratio, HR, 1.10, 95%CI 0.56-2.18, P=0.78). There was an excess of early mortality after splenectomy (7% within 90 days) but more later events with RCIT (OS at 3 years 69% vs. 67%, respectively). More patients required chemotherapy after surgery (38%) than vice versa (14%, P<0.001). Nursing home admissions were more common after splenectomy (22%, P=0.03). There were more inpatient hospitalizations after multidrug RCIT (P=0.003), but not after rituximab alone (P=0.65). Conclusions: Although SMZL is considered indolent, most elderly patients required treatment soon after diagnosis in this population-based study. Survival outcomes were similar after either RCIT or splenectomy. Complications of surgery or combination chemotherapy are significant, suggesting rituximab alone as a more suitable option in elderly patients.
