Putative mechanisms of cognitive dysfunction in chemotherapy-naïve diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: a case report and review of the literature.
Applied Neuropsychology 2010 July
Cognitive impairment is now recognized as a frequent consequence of treatments for cancers localized outside the central nervous system (CNS). In contrast, little attention has been given to the potentially deleterious cognitive effects from non-CNS cancers themselves. The present case study proposes that cognitive deficits occur in a subset of treatment-naive patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in whom no gross evidence of lymphoma-related CNS involvement is apparent. Evidence is presented from a case study and elaborate putative mechanisms centering on deleterious effects of B-cell-mediated inflammatory cytokine secretion on neurons. Moreover, this case study speculates that genetic variability involving apolipoprotein E or other factors may mediate cognitive variability among these patients.
