Article Synopsis
- Radiotherapy (RT) is a local treatment option for patients with refractory or relapsed aggressive B-cell lymphomas, but the effectiveness of hypofractionated RT had not been previously confirmed.
- A study analyzed 30 patients who received hypofractionated RT, showing a high objective response rate (90%) and complete response rate (80%), with promising one-year overall survival (81.8%) and progression-free survival (66.3%).
- The findings indicate that hypofractionated RT is both effective and tolerable, particularly for patients with localized residual disease, as no serious side effects were reported.
Background: Limited evidence supports the omission of routine bone marrow (BM) examination (biopsy and aspiration) in patients with nasal-type extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL). This study was aimed at assessing whether BM examination provides valuable information for positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT)-based staging in this patient population.
Patients And Methods: Patients newly diagnosed with ENKTCL who underwent initial staging with both PET/CT and BM examination between 2013 and 2020 were retrospectively identified in two Chinese institutions.
