Background: T-cell lymphoma (TCL) is a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative diseases that account for 10-15% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas. The aim of the study was to analyze the incidence of TCL in Ukraine, distribution according to subtypes and to assess the results of treatment of patients with TCL depending on lymphoma subtype and clinical-and-laboratory risk factors.

Patients And Methods: Data from 70 patients with TCL were analyzed from February 2018 to May 2021.

[Efficiency therapy with rituximab in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphomas].

Management of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) has been significantly changed during last 40 years from radiotherapy to modern polychemotherapy with application of monoclonal antibodies. A ten year experience of the treatment of patients with B-cell NHL with rituximab application was accumulated in National Cancer Institute. The group of patients with NHL, who were treated in oncohematology department in the period from 2001 to 2010, was chosen for study of the efficacy of the treatment with rituximab.
