Immunotyping of peripheral blood lymphocytes by flow cytometry reveals Th cell as a potential prognostic biomarker for extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma. Ann Hematol 2024; 103:1643-1653. [PMID: 38191717 DOI: 10.1007/s00277-023-05605-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/10/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to explore the distribution, characteristics and prognostic value of baseline peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets in patients with extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL). We conducted this cross-sectional study of 205 newly-diagnosed NKTCL patients receiving first-line chemotherapy and radiation at our institute between 2010 and 2020. Baseline peripheral blood lymphocytes were detected using flow cytometry, and the clinical value was analyzed. Compared with healthy controls, patients with NKTCL presented with a distinct peripheral immunity with higher levels of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells (33.230 ± 12.090% vs. 27.060 ± 4.010%, p < 0.001) and NKT cells (7.697 ± 7.219% vs. 3.550 ± 2.088%, p < 0.001) but lower proportions of suppressive regulatory T cells (Treg, 2.999 ± 1.949% vs. 3.420 ± 1.051%, p = 0.003) and CD4+ helper T cells (Th, 33.084 ± 11.361% vs. 37.650 ± 3.153%, p < 0.001). Peripheral lymphocytes were differentially distributed according to age, stage, and primary site in patients with NKTCL. The proportion of Th cells/lymphocytes was associated with tumor burden reflected by stage (p = 0.037), serum lactate dehydrogenase (p = 0.0420), primary tumor invasion (p = 0.025), and prognostic index for NK/T-cell lymphoma (PINK) score (p = 0.041). Furthermore, elevated proportions of T cells (58.9% vs. 76.4%, p = 0.005), Th cells (56.3% vs. 68.8%, p = 0.047), or Treg cells (49.5% vs. 68.9%, p = 0.040) were associated with inferior 5-year progression-free survivals (PFS) via univariable survival analysis. Multivariate cox regression revealed elevated Th cells as an independent predictor for unfavorable PFS (HR = 2.333, 95% CI, 1.030-5.288, p = 0.042) in NKTCL. These results suggested the proportion of Th cells positively correlated with tumor burden and was a potential non-invasive biomarker for inferior survival for patients with NKTCL.

Abstract
Objective To assess the impact of different treatment strategies and risk factors on the prognosis of patients with extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTL) in a single medical center. Methods and analysis The clinical features of 266 patients with ENKTL were retrospectively analyzed, among whom those in stages I and II received sandwich therapy, while those in stages III and IV underwent chemotherapy plus autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The Kaplan-Meier curves, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were employed for survival and prognosis analysis. Statistical significance was set at P<0.05. Results Following treatment, the post-intervention outcomes demonstrated a complete remission (CR) rate of 71.05% and a partial remission (PR) rate of 3.76%. The 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 70.4% and 70.9%, respectively. In addition, the PFS for patients in stage I/II was 79.8%, with an OS of 81.1%, whereas for those in stage III/IV, the PFS was 41.7% and the OS was 40.9%. Notably, the achievement of CR immediately after treatment was an independent prognostic factor (P<0.001). Patients in stage I/II depicted a favorable 5-year OS rate, while those in stage III/IV manifested a less favorable prognosis. Conclusion Stages of the disease and whether CR was achieved following treatment are important factors determining the survival and prognosis of patients with ENKTL. Further researches focusing on disease onset and mechanisms of drug resistance will contribute to better management of ENKTL.

Abstract
Low-risk early-stage extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type has a favorable outcome with radiation therapy alone, and the addition of chemotherapy shows no survival benefit. Nonetheless, a proportion of patients will relapse or progress, with a dismal outcome, highlighting the need for a novel therapeutic strategy. Promising preliminary findings indicate the efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, with good toxicity profiles. Here we describe the design of a phase II study (CLCG-NKT-2101), which is evaluating the safety and efficacy of adding anti-PD-1 antibody to the current radiation therapy regimen in low-risk early-stage extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type patients. Tislelizumab will be added in an inductive and concurrent way to radiation therapy. The primary end point will be the complete response rate after induction immunotherapy. Clinical trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05149170).

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the clinical features, prognosis, and treatment of advanced-stage non-nasal type extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL). This real-world study retrospectively reviewed 56 newly diagnosed advanced-stage non-nasal type ENKTCL patients from two large-scale Chinese cancer centers in the last 10-15 years and screened 139 newly diagnosed advanced-stage nasal type ENKTCLs admitted during the same period for comparison. The non-nasal type ENKTCLs exhibited significantly higher Ki-67 expression levels compared to nasal type disease (P = 0.011). With a median follow-up duration of 75.03 months, the non-nasal group showed slightly inferior survival outcomes without statistically significant differences compared to the nasal group (median overall survival (OS): 14.57 vs. 21.53 months, 5-year OS: 28.0% vs. 38.5%, P = 0.120). Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score ≥ 2 (hazard ratio (HR) = 2.18, P = 0.039) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) elevation (HR = 2.44, P = 0.012) were significantly correlated with worse OS in the non-nasal group. First-line gemcitabine-based chemotherapy regimens showed a trend toward slightly improved efficacy and survival outcomes compared to non-gemcitabine-based ones in the present cohort of non-nasal ENKTCLs (objective response rate: 91.7% vs. 63.6%, P = 0.144; complete response rate: 50.0% vs. 33.3%, P = 0.502; median progression-free survival: 10.43 vs. 3.40 months, P = 0.106; median OS: 25.13 vs. 9.30 months, P = 0.125), which requires further validation in larger sample size studies. Advanced-stage non-nasal type patients could achieve comparable prognosis with nasal cases after rational therapy. The modified nomogram-revised index (including age, ECOG score, and LDH) and modified international prognostic index (including age, ECOG score, LDH, and number of extranodal involvement) functioned effectively for prognostic stratification in non-nasal type ENKTCLs.

Abstract
Natural killer (NK)/T cell lymphoma (NKTCL) is a rare subtype of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by poor clinical outcomes. It is more common in East Asian and Latin American countries. Despite the introduction of asparaginase/pegaspargase-based chemotherapy, the prognosis of patients with advanced NKTCL needs to be improved, and few salvage treatment options are available for relapsed/refractory patients who fail chemotherapy. Although many unknowns remain, novel treatment strategies to further improve outcomes are urgently needed. Immunotherapy has emerged and shown favorable antitumor activity in NKTCL, including monoclonal antibodies targeting immune checkpoint inhibitors, other receptors on the cellular membrane, and cellular immunotherapy, which could enhance immune cells attack on tumor cells. In this review, we provide an overview of recent immunotherapy in NKTCL, focusing on programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, EBV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes, immunomodulatory agents, and other targeted agents, as well as the current progress and challenges in the field.

Abstract
The study investigated the treatment and prognosis of advanced-stage extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL). With a median follow-up of 75.03 months, the median overall survival (mOS) for the 195 newly diagnosed stage III/IV ENKTL patients was 19.43 months, and estimated 1-, 2-, 3- and 5-year OS were 59.5%, 46.3%, 41.8% and 35.1%, respectively. Chemotherapy (CT) + radiotherapy (RT) compared to CT alone (P = .007), and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) compared to non-HSCT (P < .001), both improved OS. For patients ≤60 years and ineligible for HSCT, other therapies with complete remission led to comparable OS (P = .141). Nine patients ever treated with chidamide achieved a median progression-free survival (mPFS) and mOS of 53.63 (range, 3.47-92.33) and 54.80 (range, 5.50-95.70) months, and four with chidamide maintenance therapy (MT) achieved a mPFS and mOS of 55.83 (range, 53.27-92.33) and 60.65 (range, 53.70-95.70) months, possibly providing an alternative option for non-HSCT patients. Non-anthracycline (ANT)- compared to ANT-, asparaginase (Aspa)- compared to non-Aspa- and gemcitabine (Gem)- compared to non-Gem-based regimens, prolonged PFS (P = .031; P = .005; P = .009) and OS (P = .010; P = .086; P = .003), respectively. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that Gem-based regimens improved PFS (HR = 0.691, P = .061) and OS (HR = 0.624, P = .037). Gem + Aspa combinations slightly improved PFS and OS compared to regimens containing Gem or Aspa alone (P > 0.05). First-line "intensive therapy," including CT (particularly Gem + Aspa regimens), RT, HSCT and alternative chidamide MT, was proposed and could improve long-term survival for advanced-stage ENKTLs. Ongoing prospective clinical studies may shed further light on the value of chidamide MT.

Abstract
Recently, progression-free survival at 24 months (PFS24) was defined as clinically relevant for patients with extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma. Herein, the clinical data from two independent random cohorts (696 patients each in the primary and validation datasets) were used to develop and validate a risk index for PFS24 (PFS24-RI), and evaluate its ability to predict early progression. Patients achieving PFS24 had a 5-year overall survival (OS) of 95.8%, whereas OS was only 21.2% in those failing PFS24 (P<0.001). PFS24 was an important predictor of subsequent OS, independent of risk stratification. The proportion of patients achieving PFS24 and 5-year OS rates correlated linearly among risk-stratified groups. Based on multivariate analysis of the primary dataset, the PFS24-RI included five risk factors: stage II or III/IV, elevated lactate dehydrogenase, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score ≥2, primary tumor invasion, and extra-upper aerodigestive tract. PFS24-RI stratified the patients into low-risk (0), intermediate-risk (1-2), high-risk (≥3) groups with different prognoses. Harrell's C-index of PFS24-RI for PFS24 prediction was 0.667 in the validation dataset, indicating a good discriminative ability. PFS24-RI calibration indicated that the actual observed and predicted probability of failing PFS24 agreed well. PFS24-RI provided the probability of achieving PFS24 at an individual patient level.

Abstract
Survival from extranodal nasal-type NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) has substantially improved over the last decade. However, there is little consensus as to whether a population of patients with ENKTCL can be considered "cured" of the disease. We aimed to evaluate the statistical "cure" of ENKTCL in the modern treatment era. This retrospective multicentric study reviewed the clinical data of 1,955 patients with ENKTCL treated with non-anthracycline-based chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy in the China Lymphoma Collaborative Group multicenter database between 2008 and 2016. A non-mixture cure model with incorporation of background mortality was fitted to estimate cure fractions, median survival times and cure time points. The relative survival curves attained plateau for the entire cohort and most subsets, indicating that the notion of cure was robust. The overall cure fraction was 71.9%. The median survival was 1.1 years in uncured patients. The cure time was 4.5 years, indicating that beyond this time, mortality in ENKTCL patients was statistically equivalent to that in the general population. Cure probability was associated with B symptoms, stage, performance status, lactate dehydrogenase, primary tumor invasion, and primary upper aerodigestive tract site. Elderly patients (>60 years) had a similar cure fraction to that of younger patients. The 5-year overall survival rate correlated well with the cure fraction across risk-stratified groups. Thus, statistical cure is possible in ENKTCL patients receiving current treatment strategies. Overall probability of cure is favorable, though it is affected by the presence of risk factors. These findings have a high potential impact on clinical practice and patients' perspective.

Abstract
Extranodal NK-/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) is a rare and highly aggressive malignancy with significant racial and geographic variations worldwide. In addition to the formerly "nasal-type" initial description, these lymphomas are predominantly extranodal in origin and typically cause vascular damage and tissue destruction, and although not fully understood, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has an important role in its pathogenesis. Initial assessment must include a hematopathology review of representative and viable tumor areas without necrosis for adequate immunohistochemistry studies, including EBV-encoded small RNA (EBER) in situ hybridization (ISH). Positron emission tomography with 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG-PET/CT) for accurate staging is essential, and most patients will have localized disease (IE/IIE) at diagnosis. Apart from other T-cell malignancies, the best treatment even for localized cases is combined modality therapy (chemotherapy plus radiotherapy) with non-anthracycline-based regimens. For advanced-stage disease, l-asparaginase-containing regimens have shown improved survival, but relapsed and refractory cases have very poor outcomes. Nowadays, even with a better understanding of pathogenic pathways, up-front therapy is completely based on chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and treatment-related mortality is not low. Future strategies targeting signaling pathways and immunotherapy are evolving, but we need to better identify those patients with dismal outcomes in a pre-emptive way. Given the rarity of the disease, international collaborations are urgently needed, and clinical trials are the way to change the future.

Abstract
Natural killer/T-cell lymphomas (NKTCL) represent rare and aggressive lymphoid malignancies. Patients (pts) with relapsed/refractory disease after Asparaginase (ASPA)-based chemotherapy have a dismal prognosis. To better define the role of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), we conducted a retrospective analysis of data shared with the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) and cooperating Asian centers. We identified 135 pts who received allo-HSCT between 2010 and 2020. Median age was 43.4 years at allo-HSCT, 68.1% were male. Ninety-seven pts (71.9 %) were European, 38 pts (28.1%) Asian. High Prognostic Index for NKTCL (PINK) scores were reported for 44.4%; 76.3% had >1 treatment, 20.7% previous auto-HSCT, and 74.1% ASPA-containing regimens prior to allo-HSCT. Most (79.3%) pts were transplanted in CR/PR. With a median follow-up of 4.8 years, 3-year progression-free(PFS) and overall survival were 48.6% (95%-CI:39.5-57%) and 55.6% (95%-CI:46.5-63.8%). Non-relapse mortality at 1 year was 14.8% (95%-CI:9.3-21.5%) and 1-year relapse incidence 29.6% (95%-CI:21.9-37.6%). In multivariate analyses, shorter time interval (0-12 months) between diagnosis and allo-HSCT [HR = 2.12 (95%-CI:1.03-4.34); P = 0.04] and transplantation not in CR/PR [HR = 2.20 (95%-CI:0.98-4.95); P = 0.056] reduced PFS. Programmed cell death protein 1(PD-1/PD-L1) treatment before HSCT neither increased GVHD nor impacted survival. We demonstrate that allo-HSCT can achieve long-term survival in approximately half of pts allografted for NKTCL.

Etoposide, dexamethasone, and pegaspargase with sandwiched radiotherapy in early-stage natural killer/T-cell lymphoma: A randomized phase III study. Innovation (N Y) 2023; 4:100426. [PMID: 37181228 PMCID: PMC10173773 DOI: 10.1016/j.xinn.2023.100426] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/10/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Methotrexate, etoposide, dexamethasone, and pegaspargase (MESA) with sandwiched radiotherapy is known to be effective for early-stage extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (NKTCL). We explored the efficacy and safety of reduced-intensity, non-intravenous etoposide, dexamethasone, and pegaspargase (ESA) with sandwiched radiotherapy. This multicenter, randomized, phase III trial enrolled patients aged between 14 and 70 years with newly diagnosed early-stage nasal NKTCL from 27 centers in China. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive ESA (pegaspargase 2,500 IU/m2 intramuscularly on day 1, etoposide 200 mg orally, and dexamethasone 40 mg orally on days 2-4) or MESA (methotrexate 1 g/m2 intravenously on day 1, etoposide 200 mg orally, and dexamethasone 40 mg orally on days 2-4, and pegaspargase 2,500 IU/m2 intramuscularly on day 5) regimen (four cycles), combined with sandwiched radiotherapy. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR). The non-inferiority margin was -10.0%. From March 16, 2016, to July 17, 2020, 256 patients underwent randomization, and 248 (ESA [n = 125] or MESA [n = 123]) made up the modified intention-to-treat population. The ORR was 88.8% (95% confidence interval [CI], 81.9-93.7) for ESA with sandwiched radiotherapy and 86.2% (95% CI, 78.8-91.7) for MESA with sandwiched radiotherapy, with an absolute rate difference of 2.6% (95% CI, -5.6-10.9), meeting the non-inferiority criteria. Per-protocol and sensitivity analysis supported this result. Adverse events of grade 3 or higher occurred in 42 (33.6%) patients in the ESA arm and 81 (65.9%) in the MESA arm. ESA with sandwiched radiotherapy is an effective, low toxicity, non-intravenous regimen with an outpatient design, and can be considered as a first-line treatment option in newly diagnosed early-stage nasal NKTCL.

Indian J Hematol Blood Transfus 2023; 39:228-236. [PMID: 37006977 PMCID: PMC10064402 DOI: 10.1007/s12288-022-01578-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2022] [Accepted: 09/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a novel prognostic marker in several malignancies, whereas its function in patients with early-stage extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) hasn't been explored. Therefore, we expolored the predictive value of NLR for early-stage ENKTL in this study. Methods We evaluated the prognostic value of NLR in 132 patients with early-stage ENKTL based on L-asparaginase-containing regimens. Their characteristics, treatment responses, survival outcomes, prognostic factors, and the prognostic value of NLR were analyzed. Results All patients were followed up for median 54 months. The optimal NLR cutoff value was 3.77 by receiver operating curve(ROC). For all patients, the complete response (CR) and the overall response rate (ORR) were 74.2% and 85.6%. Patients with NLR < 3.77 had higher CR and ORR than patients with NLR ≥ 3.77(CR, 81% vs. 53.1%; ORR, 90% vs. 71.9%). For all patients, the 3-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) based on L-asparaginase-containing chemotherapy were 80.4% and 76%. Patients with NLR < 3.77 had better survival outcomes than patients with NLR ≥ 3.77(3-year OS, 86.9% vs. 60.3%, p = 0.002; 3-year PFS, 81.8% vs. 54.5%, p = 0.001). By univariate and multivariate analyses, NLR ≥ 3.77 was an independent poor prognostic factor for both OS and PFS. Additionally, NLR ≥ 3.77 was associated with poor survival outcomes in patients with low-risk International Prognostic Index (IPI) and Prognostic Index of Natural Killer lymphoma with Epstein-Barr virus (PINK-E). Conclusion A high NLR is a poor prognostic marker of survival in patients with early-stage ENKTL, and could be applied to risk-stratify for low-risk patients.

Risk stratification and prognostic value of multi-modal MRI-based radiomics for extranodal nasal-type NK/T-cell lymphoma. BMC Cancer 2023; 23:88.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performs well in the locoregional assessment of extranodal nasal-type NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL). It's important to assess the value of multi-modal MRI-based radiomics for estimating overall survival (OS) in patients with ENKTCL. METHODS Patients with ENKTCL in a prospectively cohort were systemically reviewed and all the pretreatment MRI were acquisitioned. An unsupervised spectral clustering method was used to identify risk groups of patients and radiomic features. A nomogram-revised risk index (NRI) plus MRI radiomics signature (NRI-M) was developed, and compared with the NRI. RESULTS The 2 distinct type I and II groups of the MRI radiomics signatures were identified. The 5-year OS rates between the type I and type II groups were 87.2% versus 67.3% (P = 0.002) in all patients, and 88.8% versus 69.2% (P = 0.003) in early-stage patients. The discrimination and calibration of the NRI-M for OS prediction demonstrated a better performance than that of either MRI radiomics or NRI, with a mean area under curve (AUC) of 0.748 and 0.717 for predicting the 5-year OS in all-stages and early-stage patients. CONCLUSIONS The NRI-M model has good performance for predicting the prognosis of ENKTCL and may help design clinical trials and improve clinical decision making.

High-dose extended-field radiotherapy plus chemotherapy improved survival in extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma in a real-life setting: results from the multicenter T-Cell Brazil Project. Sci Rep 2022; 12:20557. [PMID: 36446856 PMCID: PMC9709053 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-25034-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Extranodal natural-killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is a rare and aggressive Epstein-Barr virus related mature T-cell and natural-killer malignancy. Although highly prevalent in South America, few studies covering data from this geographic location have been published. Therefore, this study aims to report clinical characteristics, prognostic factors, and outcomes in a multicenter cohort of ENKTL patients from Brazil. This retrospective, observational and multicenter study included 98 ENKTL patients treated during two decades in Brazil. Data were extracted from the T-Cell Brazil Project database. In our cohort, 59/98 patients (60.2%) were male, with a median age of 50 years. Sixty-two patients (63.3%) had B-symptoms, 26/98 (26.5%) had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group scale ≥ 2; 16/98 (16.3%) presented extranasal disease and 34.7% (34/98) were advanced-stage (Ann Arbor/Cotswolds III/IV). The median follow-up for the whole cohort was 49 months, with an estimated 2-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of 51.1% and 17.7%, respectively. In early-stage disease (IE/IIE), the median OS was 21.8 months for patients treated with concurrent radiotherapy plus chemotherapy (CCRT-VIPD [etoposide/vp-16, ifosfamide, cisplatin and dexamethasone), 16.2 months for sequential chemoradiotherapy (SCRT) followed by asparaginase-based regimens, and 56.7 months for SCRT followed by CHOP-like (cyclophosphamide, doxorrubicin, vincristine and prednisone) treatments, p = 0.211. CCRT was associated with higher rates of early-mortality, hematological toxicity, and mucositis. Median OS was 8.2 months for patients with advanced-stage disease receiving regimens containing asparaginase compared to 3.2 months for anthracycline-based therapy, p = 0.851. Chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) regimens demonstrated better OS (p = 0.001) and PFS (p = 0.007) than chemotherapy alone. Multivariate analysis revealed anemia, relapsed/refractory (R/R) disease and radiotherapy omission as poor outcome predictors for OS. Lymphopenia and radiotherapy omission adversely affected PFS. Concerning progression of disease within 24-months (POD-24), clinical stage III/IV was a poor outcome predictor. In this real-life Brazilian cohort, ENKTL presented dismal outcomes. Radiation therapy was an independent factor for increased OS and PFS, but CCRT regimens were associated with higher toxicities. Polychemotherapy based on anti-multi drug resistant agents was not associated with survival benefit in either early or advanced-stage disease in our patient cohort.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the characteristics and prognosis of distant metastasis (DM) after primary treatment for early-stage extranodal nasal-type natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL). A total of 1619 patients from the China Lymphoma Collaborative Group database were retrospectively reviewed. The cumulative incidence of DM was assessed using Fine and Gray's competing risk analysis. The correlation between DM sites was evaluated using phi coefficients, while DM sites were classified using hierarchical clustering. Regression analysis was used to assess the linear correlation between DM-free survival (DMFS) and overall survival (OS). The 5-year cumulative DM rate was 26.2%, with the highest annual hazard rate being in the first year (14.9%). The most frequent DM sites were the skin and soft tissues (SSTs, 32.4%) and distant lymph nodes (LNs, 31.3%). DM sites were categorized into four subgroups of distinct prognosis - distant LN, SST, extracutaneous site, and lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. SST or distant LN, solitary metastasis, and late-onset DM demonstrated a relatively favorable prognosis. Contemporary chemotherapy significantly decreased DM rates and improved DMFS. Decreased DM rates were further associated with increased OS probabilities. Our findings improve the understanding of the variable clinical behaviors of early-stage ENKTCL based on four distinct DM sites and thus provide guidance for future therapeutic decisions, metastatic surveillance, and translational trial design.

The value of routine bone marrow examination in patients with extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma staged with PET/CT. Cancer 2022; 128:3943-3950. [PMID: 36181669 PMCID: PMC9828511 DOI: 10.1002/cncr.34473] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2022] [Revised: 08/26/2022] [Accepted: 08/31/2022] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
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. Overall, 742 patients were included; the BM examination was positive in 67 patients. RESULTS Compared with BM biopsy alone, the combination of BM biopsy and aspiration assessment did not afford any additional diagnostic value. No patient with a positive BM biopsy was found to have early-stage disease by PET/CT. BM biopsy or PET/CT led to upstaging from stage III to IV as a result of BM involvement in 21 patients. In 135 patients with distant organ involvement, BM involvement was associated with worse overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) compared with the corresponding durations in patients without BM involvement (2-year OS: 35.9% vs. 60.4%, p < .001; PFS: 26% vs. 40.7%, p = .003). No difference in survival was noted between groups judged positive based on PET/CT and BM biopsy. CONCLUSION Compared with aspiration, BM biopsy led to the detection of more BM lesions. Baseline PET/CT can be safely used to exclude BM involvement in early-stage disease. Overall, routine BM examination affords diagnostic or prognostic value over PET/CT in patients with advanced-stage nasal-type ENKTCL.

Yang C, Wu W, Zhou H, Zhao S, Tian R, Xiang M, Zou L. 18F-FDG PET/CT Plays a Limited Role in Replacing Bone Marrow Biopsy for Newly Diagnosed Advanced-Stage Patients With Extranodal Natural Killer/T-Cell Lymphoma. Front Oncol 2022; 12:894804. [PMID: 35965550 PMCID: PMC9372794 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.894804] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2022] [Accepted: 06/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose The role of 18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) in evaluating bone marrow (BM) involvement (BMI) among patients with extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is poorly understood. This study investigated whether PET/CT could replace bone marrow biopsy (BMB) in treatment-naive ENKTL patients. Methods Newly diagnosed ENKTL patients (n = 356) who received BMB and PET/CT to evaluate BMI at the time of diagnosis were retrospectively reviewed at West China Hospital between August 2008 and January 2020. The BMI diagnosis was confirmed using BM histology. Clinical characteristics, survival outcomes, and prognostic indicators were summarized and analyzed. Results The cohort included 356 cases, of whom 261 were diagnosed with early-stage and 95 with advanced-stage ENKTL by PET/CT before initial treatment. No early-stage patients were identified with BMI by either BMB or PET/CT. Among the advanced-stage patients, 26 were BMB positive, and 12 of 22 patients (54.5%) with positive PET/BM results were also BMB positive. The sensitivity and specificity of PET/CT to detect BMI were 46% and 97%, respectively. The progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of PET/BM-negative patients were markedly longer (p = 0.010 and p = 0.001 for PFS and OS, respectively), which was consistent with the results of the BMB (p = 0.000 for both PFS and OS). Conclusion Although 18F-FDG PET/CT showed the potential to replace BMB in the initial staging of early-stage ENKTL patients, baseline PET/CT cannot provide an accurate BMI evaluation for advanced-stage patients. A prospective study is required to confirm the diagnostic performance of BMI identification by PET/CT, along with targeted BMB and MRI for advanced-stage patients.

Comparison analysis of first-line asparaginase- versus non-asparaginase-based regimens for early-stage extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma. Ann Hematol 2022; 101:2021-2034. [PMID: 35798977 DOI: 10.1007/s00277-022-04892-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2021] [Accepted: 06/05/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
The present study investigated the efficacy and toxicity profile of first-line asparaginase (ASP)-based versus non-ASP-based regimens in treating early-stage extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) in non-anthracycline therapy era. This multi-center, real-world retrospective study consisted 305 newly diagnosed localized ENKTCL patients who were treated with sequential chemoradiation between 2010 and 2020 in China: 190 cases received ASP-based regimens and 115 cases received non-ASP-based regimens. Propensity score matching and multivariable analyses were used to compare survivals and toxicities between the two treatment groups. Non-ASP-based regimens achieved comparable survivals compared with ASP-based regimens in the entire cohort. The 5-year overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 84.7% and 73.5% for non-ASP-based regimens, and 87.7% (P=0.464) and 74.6% (P=0.702) for ASP-based regimens. The non-inferior survivals of non-ASP-based regimens were consistent after adjustment using PSM and multivariable analyses. However, survival benefits of ASP varied in different treatment modalities. Among patients receiving sequential chemotherapy and radiation (CT+RT±CT), ASP-based regimens achieved higher complete remission rate (54.3 vs. 34.5%, P=0.047) and more favorable survivals compared with non-ASP-based regimens (5-year OS, 87.0 vs. 69.0%, P=0.028). However, for patients receiving sequential radiation and chemotherapy (RT+CT), non-ASP-based regimens achieved comparable favorable survivals as ASP-based regimens. Besides, liver injury, malnutrition, and coagulative dysfunction were significantly more commonly documented in ASP-based regimens. These findings suggested that ASP was an effective agent in treating ENKTCL, especially among those receiving induction CT and RT. For patients who received upfront RT, non-ASP-based regimens might be a comparably effective and more tolerable treatment option.

Abstract
Natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphomas are aggressive malignancies with a predilection for Asian and South American populations. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in lymphoma cells is universal. Predominantly extranodal, NK/T-cell lymphomas are divided clinically into nasal (involving the nose and upper aerodigestive tract), non-nasal (involving the skin, gastrointestinal tract, testes, and other organs), and aggressive leukaemia/lymphoma (involving the marrow and multiple organs) subtypes. Initial assessment should include imaging with positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET/CT), quantification of plasma EBV DNA as a surrogate marker of lymphoma load, and bone marrow examination with in situ hybridization for EBV-encoded small RNA. Prognostication can be based on presentation parameters (age, stage, lymph node involvement, clinical subtypes, and EBV DNA), which represent patient factors and lymphoma load; and dynamic parameters during treatment (serial plasma EBV DNA and interim/end-of-treatment PET/CT), which reflect response to therapy. Therapeutic goals are to achieve undetectable plasma EBV DNA and normal PET/CT (Deauville score ≤ 3). NK/T-cell lymphomas express the multidrug resistance phenotype, rendering anthracycline-containing regimens ineffective. Stage I/II nasal cases are treated with non-anthracycline asparaginase-based regimens plus sequential/concurrent radiotherapy. Stage III/IV nasal, and non-nasal and aggressive leukaemia/lymphoma cases are treated with asparaginase-containing regimens and consolidated by allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in suitable patients. Autologous HSCT does not improve outcome. In relapsed/refractory cases, novel approaches comprise immune checkpoint blockade of PD1/PD-L1, EBV-specific cytotoxic T-cells, monoclonal antibodies, and histone deacetylase inhibitors. Future strategies may include inhibition of signalling pathways and driver mutations, and immunotherapy targeting the lymphoma and its microenvironment.

First-line LVDP (L-asparaginase, etoposide, dexamethasone, and cisplatin) regimen combined with radiotherapy is effective for early-stage extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type. Ann Hematol 2022; 101:1557-1565. [PMID: 35585247 DOI: 10.1007/s00277-022-04828-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2021] [Accepted: 03/24/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy could reduce the risk of recurrence in early-stage extranodal NK/T lymphoma (ENKTL). However, the optimal combined chemotherapy regimen is still unknown. Our previous study reported that LVDP (L-asparaginase, etoposide, dexamethasone, and cisplatin) combined with radiotherapy was a potentially effective and safe treatment regimen for early-stage ENKTL. This study further validated the efficacy and safety of LVDP chemotherapy combined with radiation for early-stage ENKTL with more patients and longer follow-up. We retrospectively studied 112 patients with early-stage ENKTL from September 2010 to September 2019. All patients received the LVDP regimen, and 101 of them received radiotherapy. The patients' characteristics, treatment responses, survival outcomes, prognostic factors, and toxicities were analyzed. The median follow-up was 60 months (range, 4 to 117). All patients received median 4 cycles of the LVDP chemotherapy. At the end of therapy, the objective response rate and complete response rate were 88.3% and 77.6%, respectively. The 3- and 5-year OS were 79.6% and 73.2%, and the 3- and 5-year PFS were 75.4% and 71.6%, respectively. Among them, the LVDP regimen combined with radiotherapy yielded more favorable treatment outcomes (the 3-year OS and PFS were 83.1% and 80.8%). The most common severe hematologic toxicity was leukopenia (25% grade 3/4), and the most common severe non-hematologic toxicity was increased transaminase (4.5% grade 3/4). No pancreatitis or treatment-related death occurred. The LVDP regimen combined with radiotherapy had a good therapeutic response and long-term survival with tolerable toxicity for patients with early-stage ENKTL.

Abstract
The LVDP chemotherapy regimen was effective and safe for nasal-type ENKTL. The CMT yielded better survival outcomes than CT alone in nasal-type ENKTL. The CASS had a better survival discrimination than the AASS.
Nasal-type extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is a rare non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The optimal staging system for it remains undefined. In this study, we evaluated different staging systems in 205 patients with nasal-type ENKTL based on a consistent LVDP (L-asparaginase, etoposide, dexamethasone, cisplatin) regimen. All patients were staged by Ann Arbor staging system (AASS) and CA staging system (CASS). Their characteristics, treatment responses, survival outcomes, prognostic factors, and prognostic values of AASS and CASS were analyzed. The median follow-up time was 78 months. All patients received a median 4 cycles of the LVDP chemotherapy. Based on CASS, patients with stages I through IV were more evenly distributed than with AASS, and numbered at 56 (27.3%), 70 (33.2%), 45 (21.9%), and 34 (17.6%), respectively. At the end of therapy, the objective response rate (ORR) was 81.2% for all patients. For all patients, the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 61.6% and 67.8%. According to AASS, the 5-year OS of patients with stages Ⅰ through Ⅳ were 77.9%, 61.2%, 60.0%, and 38.7%, respectively (χ²=20.578, p<0.001). Based on CASS, the 5-year OS of patients with stages Ⅰ to Ⅳ were 89.1%, 65.5%, 58.6%, and 45.4%, respectively (χ²=22.973, p<0.001). In ROC analysis of OS, the area under the curve (AUC) for CASS was 0.70 and 0.64 for AASS. CASS was better in discriminating survival than AASS (p = 0.018). In conclusion, the LVDP regimen is effective for nasal-type ENKTL and the CASS has a better prognostic value in survival analysis than the AASS.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the safety and efficacy profile of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) followed by gemcitabine, dexamethasone, cisplatin (GDP), plus chidamide in the first-line setting for intermediate- and high-risk early-stage extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTCL). METHODS This was an open-label, randomized phase 2 trial performed at two centers in China. Patients were eligible if they were newly-diagnosed with intermediate- and high-risk early-stage ENKTCL with at least one risk factor based on a nomogram-revised risk index:> 60 years old, elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase, invasion of the primary tumor, stage II or Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status > 1 or stage II disease. Patients were treated with IMRT followed by GDP, with or without chidamide, in the first-line setting. Two-year progression-free survival (PFS) comprised the primary endpoint. Toxicities, the 2-year overall survival (OS), and the response rate comprised the secondary endpoints. RESULTS Eligible patients (n = 74) were enrolled between May 2015 and December 2019. Among them, 37 patients were treated with IMRT+GDP+chidamide (chidamide group), while 37 cases were treated with IMRT+GDP (control group). Follow-up comprised a median of 43.4 months (range, 1.0-74.6 months). The objective response rate was 86.5% in the chidamide group and 78.4% in the control group (P = 0.359) at the end of treatment completion. The 2-year OS and PFS rates were 89.2% and 75.2% in the chidamide group versus 83.8% (P = 0.388) and 70.2% (P = 0.821) in the control group. The main adverse events were hematological toxicities and mucositis, with similar rates in the two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The addition of chidamide to IMRT + GDP as first-line treatment achieved similar treatment outcomes and tolerable toxicities in patients with intermediate- and high-risk ENKTCL.

Abstract
Extranodal nasal NK/Tcell lymphoma (ENKTCL) is a relatively rare type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It is highly malignant, highly invasive, and easy to relapse. Most patients have a poor prognosis. We report a 48-year-old woman who presented with irritant dry cough that had persisted for 6 m. CT showed a mass in the right nasal cavity, with uneven density similar to soft tissue, with slight uneven enhancement. The mass and the upper, middle, and lower turbinates were not clearly demarcated, involving multiple adjacent sinus cavities, and the local bone showed osteolytic destruction; MRI showed isosignal on T1WI and slightly hypersignal on T2WI and DWI. In addition, there was a mass of soft tissue density at the bronchial opening in the right middle lobe, showing uneven and obvious enhancement; a cavity was seen in the nodule of the right lower lobe, and the adjacent pleura was stretched, showing moderate enhancement. The nasal mass was diagnosed as extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, the right middle lobe mass was diagnosed as mucoepidermoid carcinoma, and the right lower lobe mass was diagnosed as lung adenocarcinoma. ENKTCL rarely invades the lungs. If a patient has a lung occupying lesion similar to it, biopsy confirmation should be considered to avoid misdiagnosis as a chest metastasis that affects the treatment effect.

Abstract
Simple Summary Natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphomas are aggressive extranodal Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)-positive malignancies. They can be divided into three subtypes: nasal (involving the nose and upper aerodigestive tract), non-nasal (involving skin, gastrointestinal tract, testis and other organs) and disseminated (involving multiple organs). Lymphoma cells are positive for CD3ε, CD56, cytotoxic molecules and EBV-encoded small RNA. There is a predilection for Asian and Central/South American populations. Genome-wide association studies have identified lymphoma susceptibility loci in Asians. Positron emission tomography computed tomography and plasma EBV DNA quantification are crucial at diagnosis and follow-up. Stage I/II patients receive non-athracycline asparaginse-containing regimens, together with sequential/concurrent radiotherapy. Anthracycline-containing regimens are ineffective. Stage III/IV patients receive asparaginase-containing regimens, followed by allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Autologous HSCT does not improve outcome. In relapsed/refractory patients, novel approaches include PD1/PD-L1 targeting, EBV-specific cytotoxic T-cells, and monoclonal antibodies. Small molecules including histone deacetylase inhibitors may be beneficial. Abstract Natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphomas are aggressive malignancies. Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection in lymphoma cells is invariable. NK/T-cell lymphomas are divided into nasal, non-nasal, and disseminated subtypes. Nasal NK/T-cell lymphomas involve the nasal cavity and the upper aerodigestive tract. Non-nasal NK/T-cell lymphomas involve the skin, gastrointestinal tract, testis and other extranodal sites. Disseminated NK/T-cell lymphoma involves multiple organs, rarely presenting with a leukaemic phase. Lymphoma cells are positive for CD3ε (not surface CD3), CD56, cytotoxic molecules and EBV-encoded small RNA. There is a predilection for Asian and Central/South American populations. Genome-wide association studies have identified lymphoma susceptibility loci in Asian patients. Positron emission tomography computed tomography and plasma EBV DNA quantification are crucial evaluations at diagnosis and follow-up. Stage I/II patients typically receive non-athracycline regimens containing asparaginse, together with sequential/concurrent radiotherapy. Anthracycline-containing regimens are ineffective. Stage III/IV patients are treated with asparaginase-containing regimens, followed by allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in suitable cases. Autologous HSCT does not improve outcome. In relapsed/refractory patients, novel approaches are needed, involving PD1/PD-L1 targeting, EBV-specific cytotoxic T-cells, and monoclonal antibodies. Small molecules including histone deacetylase inhibitors may be beneficial in selected patients. Future strategies may include targeting of signalling pathways and driver mutations.

Abstract
The primary aim of this review is to identify the relationship between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and prognosis in extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL). Additionally, a literature review of ENKTL was carried out. The investigators designed and implemented a 21-year literature review using the online databases PubMed and Google Scholar. The total number of cases analyzed was 153 (64 case reports; one comparative study; one systematic review). Information related to ENKTL from July 1999 to February 2021 was included in the study. Study variables included: patient demographics, tumor classification, screening modalities, tumor characteristics, symptomatology, treatment, and prognosis. The average age at diagnosis was 50.9 years (range: 4-90 years). Patients of Asian ethnicity were most commonly affected, and there was a 1.6:1 male to female ratio. ENKTL was most frequently detected in the head and neck region, and 53.1% of cases metastasized. Of all head and neck cases, the nose was the most affected location. Immunohistochemistry positivity included: EBV (32.0%), CD2 (96.6%), CD3ϵ (81.7%), CD43 (91.7%), CD56 (86.4%), Granzyme (97.1%), Perforin (90.9%), TIA-1 (97.8%), p53 (33.3%). The most frequently employed single treatment modality was chemotherapy alone, and 34.2% of patients expired within five years of diagnosis. The average follow-up period was 16.51 months (range: 0.25-66 months). EBV was significantly associated with metastatic ENKTL (χ2 = 4.36; CV = 3.84; p = 0.037). We found no association between EBV and ENKTL prognosis (χ2 = 17.2; CV = 21.0; p = 0.14).

Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2021; 110:1064-1081.

Abstract
In the multidisciplinary management of early-stage extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTCL), with curative intent, radiation therapy is the most efficacious modality and is an essential component of a combined-modality regimen. In the past decade, utilization of upfront radiation therapy and non-anthracycline-based chemotherapy has improved treatment and prognosis. This guideline mainly addresses the heterogeneity of clinical features, principles of risk-adapted therapy, and the role and appropriate design of radiation therapy. Radiation therapy methods (including target volume definition, dose and delivery methods) are crucial for optimizing cure for patients with early-stage ENKTCL. The application of the principles of involved site radiation therapy in this lymphoma entity often leads to a more extended clinical target volume (CTV) than in other lymphoma types because it usually presents with primary tumor invasion, multifocal lesions, or extensive submucosal infiltration beyond the macroscopic disease. The CTV varies across different primary sites and is classified mainly into nasal, nonnasal upper aerodigestive tract (UADT), and extra-UADT entities. This review is a consensus of the International Lymphoma Radiation Oncology Group regarding the approach to radiation therapy, target-volume definition, optimal dose, and dose constraints in ENKTCL treatment.

ESMO Open 2021; 6:100206. [PMID: 34242966 PMCID: PMC8271122 DOI: 10.1016/j.esmoop.2021.100206] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2021] [Revised: 06/08/2021] [Accepted: 06/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study evaluated the survival benefit of asparaginase (ASP)-based versus non-ASP-based chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy in a real-world cohort of patients with early-stage extranodal nasal-type natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL). PATIENTS AND METHODS We identified 376 patients who received combined radiotherapy with either ASP-based (ASP, platinum, and gemcitabine; n = 286) or non-ASP-based (platinum and gemcitabine; n = 90) regimens. The patients were stratified into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups using the early stage-adjusted nomogram-revised risk index. Overall survival (OS) and distant metastasis (DM)-free survival (DMFS) between the chemotherapy regimens were compared using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) and multivariable analyses. RESULTS ASP-based (versus non-ASP-based) regimens significantly improved 5-year OS (84.5% versus 73.2%, P = 0.021) and DMFS (84.4% versus 74.5%, P = 0.014) for intermediate- and high-risk patients, but not for low-risk patients in the setting of radiotherapy. Moreover, ASP-based regimens decreased DM, with a 5-year cumulative DM rate of 14.9% for ASP-based regimens compared with 25.1% (P = 0.014) for non-ASP-based regimens. The survival benefit of ASP-based chemotherapy and radiotherapy remained consistent after adjusting the confounding variables using IPTW and multivariate analyses; additional sensitivity analyses confirmed these results. CONCLUSIONS The findings provided support for ASP-based chemotherapy and radiotherapy as a first-line treatment strategy for intermediate- and high-risk early-stage ENKTCL.

Abstract
Although PD-1/PD-L1 blockade therapy confers salutary effects across cancer types, their efficacy in Extranodal Natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) patients is limited and unpredictable. Here, we comprehensively evaluated the expression profile of a panel of immune-regulatory makers to identify novel prognostic biomarkers and/or therapeutic targets for this malignancy. Using immunohistochemistry and multiplex immunofluorescence, we found that the expression of VISTA (88.1%) was predominantly in CD68+ macrophages and much higher than PD-L1 expression (68.7%) in ENKTCL. B7-H4 and HHLA2 proteins were not detected in ENKTCL. B7-H3 was expressed in minority of ENKTCL patients (13.7%) and mainly colocalized with CD31. A close correlation was detected between VISTA and PD-L1, but they were not co-expressed in the same cells. High expressions of VISTA or PD-L1 were significantly associated with detrimental clinicopathological characteristics, dismal prognosis, and high density of CD8+ TILs, and high VISTA expression was also significantly associated with high density of Foxp3+ TILs. VISTA combined with PD-L1 was an independent prognostic factor for PFS and OS. Moreover, the patients with high VISTA showed a poor response to PD-1 blockades in ENKTCL. In conclusion, these findings provide a rationale for VISTA as an ideal immunotherapeutic target next to PD-L1 for ENKTCL.

Abstract
Limited evidence supports the use of early endpoints to evaluate the success of initial treatment of extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) in the modern era. We aim to analyze progression-free survival at 24 months (PFS24) and subsequent overall survival (OS) in a large-scale multicenter cohort of patients. 1790 patients were included from the China Lymphoma Collaborative Group (CLCG) database. Subsequent OS was defined from the time of PFS24 or progression within 24 months to death. OS was compared with age- and sex-matched general Chinese population using expected survival and standardized mortality ratio (SMR). Patients who did not achieve PFS24 had a median OS of 5.3 months after progression, with 5-year OS rate of 19.2% and the SMR of 71.4 (95% CI, 62.9-81.1). In contrast, 74% patients achieved PFS24, and the SMR after achieving PFS24 was 1.77 (95% CI, 1.34-2.34). The observed OS rate after PFS24 versus expected OS rate at 5 years was 92.2% versus 94.3%. Similarly, superior outcomes following PFS24 were observed in early-stage patients (5-year OS rate, 92.9%). Patients achieving PFS24 had excellent outcome, whereas patients exhibiting earlier progression had a poor survival. These marked differences suggest that PFS24 may be used for study design and risk stratification in ENKTCL.
