Age (yrs) | Diagnosis | Disease sites | Stage | Treatment | Response | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 8 | DLBCL | Waldeyers ring; kidney; pelvis |
III | LMB-89 | CR | Alive in CCR 5 years |
| 2 | 11 | B-ALL | Bone marrow; CNS+ |
IV | LMB-89 | Inevaluable | Expired secondary to relapse versus sepsis |
| 3 | 9 | DLBCL | Multiple nodes; CNS+ |
IV | LMB-89 | Inevaluable | Expired secondary to enterococcal bacteremia; adenoviral sepsis; multi-organ system failure and VOD |
| 4 | 6 | DLBCL | Multiple nodes; liver; spleen, BM+ |
IV | LMB-89 | Induction failure (progressive disease after COPADM #2) |
Expired secondary to multi-organ system failure and induction failure |
| 5 | 19 | DLBCL | Waldeyers ring; mediastinum, multiple nodes |

Histological subtypes included DLBCL (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma) and B-ALL (Burkitt Leukemia), Distant sites of disease included BM (bone marrow) and CNS (central nervous system). Treatment was derived from LMB-89 (French Society of Pediatric Oncology treatment regimen for mature B-cell malignancies).Responses included CR (complete remission) and CCR (continuous complete remission). Toxicity included VOD (veno-occlusive disease).
