Mature B-Cell Lymphoma And Leukemia Study III

1. This study will perform analysis of newly diagnosed mature B-cell lymphomas (e.g. Burkitt lymphoma/leukemia, DLBCL, and MLBCL) obtained from participants in different parts of the world. 2. This study will describe the types and frequency of mutations in the ARF-HDM2-TP53 pathway, in B-cell lymphomas in the United States and that found in selected geographic regions of the world. 3. This study will describe the expression of ARF-HDM2-TP53 and PUMA-associated pathways in B-cell lymphomas in the United States and that found in B-cell lymphomas of other selected geographic regions of the world. 4. This study will describe the pattern and frequency of XLP gene mutations presenting with B-cell lymphomas in the United States and selected geographic regions. 5. This study will describe the frequency of EBV-positive B-cell lymphomas in the United States and selected geographic regions of the world: and will describe the pattern of EBV protein and gene expression (e.g., EBNA 3) in EBV-positive lymphomas and the study will compare patterns of EBV protein and gene expression with clinical, laboratory and outcome data. Exploratory Aims: To estimate the complete response rate, event-free survival, and overall survival rates in patients with Burkitt lymphoma (BL), Burkitt leukemia/B-cell acute leukemia (B-ALL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) treated with a stage-adapted regimen based on the St. Jude B-cell II protocol.
