Popis: The peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are a notoriously diverse family of non-Hodgkin lymphomas with generally aggressive biology. Clinical management is challenging given a largely inadequate literature base comprised of few randomized trials and heterogeneous observational reports. Herein, we provide an account of our practice in the treatment of the 3 most common nodal PTCLs: PTCL, not otherwise specified, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). In the up-front setting, we employ anthracycline-based induction, with the incorporation of brentuximab vedotin for all those with ALCL and consideration in those with other CD30-expressing PTCLs based on improved progression-free and overall survival in the absence of additional toxicity in the ECHELON-2 trial. We strongly consider high-dose therapy with autologous stem cell rescue in first complete remission. In the relapsed or refractory (R/R) setting, we often look to clinical trials or choose from 4 FDA-approved single agents-belinostat, brentuximab vedotin, romidepsin, and pralatrexate-based on tumor phenotype and side-effect profiles. Our goal in the R/R setting is achievement of complete remission followed by allogeneic transplant with curative intent in appropriate candidates or long-term disease control in others. Numerous investigational agents are advancing through trials and have potential to alter standards of care in the near future.
