Progress in treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma

Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a kind of highly aggressive lymphoma which contains a collection of subgroups. The patients with PTCL have poor prognosis under current chemotherapy regimens, so the treatment of PTCL remains a big challenge. Brentuximab vedotin combined with CHP regimen, pralatrexate in combination with romidepsin and other regimens have set up more options for patients with PTCL. Novel agents, such as PI3K inhibitors, which entered into clinical trials, bring good news to PTCL patients. Key words: Lymphomas, T-cell, peripheral; American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting
