How would you manage a young patient with Sjogrens disease with extranodal marginal zone lymphoma involving bilateral parotid glands with bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy?

For patients with low-grade NHLs (e.g., follicular lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma), staging dictates treatment. If a patient has a localized process (e.g., contiguous stage I-II disease), then a definitive course of RT is typically recommended. The conventional approach is 24-30 Gy, though a dose-...

I am a little skeptical of the clinical scenario described. MZL of the parotid is rarely associated with involved adenopathy in the neck. I would try to confirm the latter with a needle biopsy of the nodes. 2 x 2 seems a reasonable approach to whatever disease is documented. I would not favor adjuva...

This sounds rather like an extensive stage II disease with bilateral neck involvement.

In this scenario, I would be very cautious recommending definitive radiotherapy.

I would consider 2 x 2 Gy schedule, folllowed by Rituximab monotherapy.
