Abstract
Background:
To analyze peripheral non-cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (NC-TCL) and to test the significance of the IPI.
Patients And Methods:
Twenty-nine consecutive patients diagnosed with NC-TCL according to the REAL classification.
Results:
At diagnosis were common: B symptoms (21%), stage III/IV (55%), high LDH level (55%) and extranodal involvement (79%). Twelve (48%) patients achieved complete remission. The IPI identified groups of patients with different response to therapy and survival.
Conclusions:
NC-TCL with high or high-intermediate IPI had a short survival if treated with CHOP.
