Abstract:
T-cell lymphomas (TCLs) have a unique pathobiology, clinically aggressive course, and poor prognosis. Recently, there have been significant advances in understanding the molecular genetic alterations of TCLs through next-generation sequencing. This has led to the development of specific therapeutic molecules. This review aims to provide an up-to-date overview of the current therapeutic approaches for the subtype peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified.
Insights
Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is aggressive, but new molecular insights are improving treatments. This review covers current therapeutic strategies for PTCL not otherwise specified, offering hope for better patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Hematology
- Molecular Biology
Background:
