[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.

The clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of 410 patients with natural killer/T-cell lymphoma. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol 2022; 148:3449-3459. [PMID: 35857124 DOI: 10.1007/s00432-022-04203-x] [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: 10/17/2021] [Accepted: 07/09/2022] [Indexed: 10/17/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 410 NKTCL patients admitted to our lymphoma center from 2000 to 2019. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method, and the differences between the study groups were compared by the log-rank test. RESULTS The median age of the 410 patients was 44 (range 8-84), and the 5-year OS and PFS were 61.2% and 38.4%, respectively. For patients with stage I/II, the 5-year PFS rate was 57.5%, and the 5-year OS rate was 77.2%. For patients with stage III/IV, the 5-year PFS rate was 17.4%, and the 5-year OS rate was 43.7%. Compared to the patients who received radiotherapy alone or chemotherapy alone as their initial treatment, the patients who received combined chemoradiotherapy had longer PFS (P = 0.013). Independent prognostic factors for OS were stage III/IV (P = 0.001), elevated IPI/aaIPI score (P = 0.019), elevated PINK score (P < 0.001) and elevated plasma EBV-DNA (P = 0.003). An elevated PINK score (P < 0.001) was an independent prognostic factor for PFS. CONCLUSION Stage III/IV, elevated IPI/aaIPI score, elevated PINK score and elevated plasma EBV-DNA were independent prognostic factors for OS. Elevated PINK score was an independent prognostic factor for PFS. In stage III/IV patients, the patients who received combined chemoradiotherapy had significantly longer PFS.

Abstract
Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a rare form of lymphoma in children with limited published data on treatment and lack of a uniformly accepted treatment algorithm. We retrospectively analyzed the data in children up to 18 years of age diagnosed to have PTCL from January 2016 to June 2020. The study included six children with a median age of 10 years, the youngest being a 7-month-old girl. According to the WHO-PTCL classification, three had PTCL-not otherwise specified (NOS), 2 had hepatosplenic TCL, and 1 had subcutaneous panniculitis-like TCL. All children had presented with advanced disease, 4 in St. Jude stage IV, 2 in St. Jude stage III. Three children received CHOEP chemotherapy including cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone, etoposide, while 1 child received CHOP. Two children received induction as per acute lymphoblastic leukemia followed by Bendamustine. Two patients succumbed to progressive disease, the infant with PTCL-NOS and 1 child with hepatosplenic TCL. Three children were in remission (median follow up of 44 mo). One child with PTCL-NOS Stage IV had an underlying STAT3 mutated hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome and was in remission 12 months post a matched unrelated donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. He had grade 4 skin graft versus host disease and required extracorporeal photopheresis and ibrutinib, to which he had responded. CHOEP chemotherapy is well-tolerated and subcutaneous panniculitis-like TCL has the best prognosis thus far.

Abstract
Optimal treatment strategies for natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) patients with stage IV disease have not been well defined. In this prospective phase 2 study, we evaluated the treatment using MEDA (methotrexate, etoposide, dexamethasone, and pegaspargase) as induction chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Auto-HSCT) for consolidation. Patients with stage IV disease without prior L-asparaginase-based chemotherapy were eligible. Four cycles of MEDA were administered as induction treatment. Patients with complete response (CR, necessary to have complete metabolic remission of PET/CT, negative plasma EBV-DNA, and negative EBER staining of bone marrow biopsy tissue) were consolidated by Auto-HSCT. A total of 53 patients were enrolled. The overall response (OR) rate and CR rate after four cycles of MEDA chemotherapy were 75.5% and 56.6%, respectively. Among them, 25 patients underwent Auto-HSCT. The 4-year overall survival (OS) rate and progression-free survival (PFS) rate were 58.0% (95%CI, 43.4% to 70.0%) and 43.4% (95% CI, 29.9% to 56.1%), respectively. Patients who underwent Auto-HSCT had a 4-year OS rate of 92.0% (95% CI, 71.6% to 97.9%) and a 4-year PFS rate of 80.0% (95% CI, 58.4% to 91.1%). Grade 3/4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia occurred in 28.3% and 17.0% of the patients, respectively. MEDA chemotherapy is an effective induction regimen with reduced grade 3/4 hematological toxicities for stage IV NKTCL. Consolidation with Auto-HSCT can be considered as a potential approach to improve the long-term survival of CR patients after induction treatment. This article is protected by copyright.

Abstract
Extra-nodal natural killer T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is a rare and aggressive hematologic malignancy found in the nasal cavity and adjacent locations in 80% of cases, accounting for approximately 10% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and 0.4% of all cancers. Prognosis is typically poor and depends on stage, location, age, and tumor markers for targeted therapy, which is reserved for relapsed/refractory ENKTL. Of those, advanced clinical stage, higher Prognostic Index (PI), nodal involvement, Ki-67 expression, large cells, local tumor invasiveness, and circulating Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-DNA levels are predictive of worse survival. Here, we present a rare case of a patient in remission 30 months after diagnosis of ENKTL following a sustained complete response to pembrolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor targeting the programmed death-1 (PD-1) receptor.

Abstract
Objective: To analysis the expression of CD7 in NK/T-cell lymphoma as well as study the correlations between CD7 and clinical survival and prognosis. Methods: The clinical and pathological indicators of 112 NKTCL patients who were admitted to or consulted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between May 2008 and December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The CD7 expression in the tumor tissues was detected using immunohistochemistry staining, and the influence of CD7 expression on the survival and prognosis in the patients was analyzed. Results: The CD7 expression rate was 84.82% in 112 NKTCL patients, and its expression was not influenced by sex, age, and the primary site. An analysis of the complete clinical data of 72 patients showed that the CD7 expression was significantly correlated with the PINK score, tumor metastasis, and peripheral blood EBV-DNA level. However, the Ann Arbor stage, bone marrow involvement, B symptoms, IPI/aaIPI score, Ki-67, EBER, TIA-1, Granzyme B, LDH, and β(2)-MG were not associated with the CD7 expression. The 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates of the 72 patients were 81.2%, 61.8%, and 58.8%, respectively, and the progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 53.5%, 29.4%, and 24.0%, respectively. The median overall survival (median-OS, mOS) was 81 mon, and the median progression-free survival (median-PFS, mPFS) was 14 mon. The 3-year OS rates in the CD7-positive group and the CD7-negative group were 58.1% and 83.9%, respectively, (P>0.05) . The 3-year PFS rates were 21.7% and 51.9%, respectively (P<0.05) . The univariate analysis showed that age, primary tumor site, Ann Arbor stage, IPI/aaIPI score, PINK score, LDH, β(2)-microglobulin, EBV-DNA, Ki-67, and CD7 influenced patient prognosis. The multivariate analysis showed that Ann Arbor stage and CD7 were independent prognostic factors for PFS, while PINK score and Ki-67 were independent prognostic factors for OS. Conclusions: The expression rate of CD7 in NKTCL was high and was closely related to poor patient prognosis. The patients with high levels of EBV-DNA, metastatic disease, or high PINK score were more likely to express CD7.

Abstract
To compare the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy (RT) and chemotherapy of pegaspargase, gemcitabine, cisplatin and dexamethasone (DDGP) combined with RT in newly diagnosed stage I-II natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTL), we designed a randomized, controlled, open-label, multicenter clinical trial. Data from 65 stage I-II NKTL patients whose diagnoses were confirmed using immunohistochemistry were enrolled from January 2011 to December 2013 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Patients were randomly divided into the RT group (n = 35) and the DDGP combined with RT group (n = 30). There was a difference between the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score in the two arms (P = .013). The complete response rate (CRR) and objective response rate (ORR) of DDGP combined with RT group were superior to those in the RT group (CRR: 73.3% vs 48.6%; ORR: 83.3% vs 60.0%, respectively). The 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate and overall survival (OS) rate in the DDGP combined with RT group were higher than those in the RT group (82.9% vs 56.5% for PFS, P = .023; 85.7% vs 60.4% for OS, P = .040), and treatment methods and lactate dehydrogenase were independent risk factors. Myelosuppression (P < .001), gastrointestinal reactions (P < .001), abnormal liver function (P = .007), coagulation abnormalities (P < .001) and baldness (P < .001) were more likely to occur in the DDGP combined with RT group. In conclusion, DDGP combined with radiotherapy obviously obtained great efficacy and prolonged the survival time of patients, also the side effects were mild for stage I-II NKTL. This trial was registered at https://register.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01501136.

Abstract
Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKL) is a rare peripheral T-cell lymphoma that predominantly occurs in Asian and South American populations. The treatment of ENKL has been a challenge for a long time. This study was conducted to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of cisplatin, dexamethasone, gemcitabine, and pegaspargase (DDGP) and methotrexate, dexamethasone, ifosfamide, L-asparaginase, and etoposide (SMILE) regimens for relapsed/refractory ENKL and explore the prognostic factors. From October 2014 to July 2019, 54 patients with relapsed/refractory ENKL who received DDGP or SMILE chemotherapy were retrospectively assessed in this study. Thirty-one patients received DDGP chemotherapy and 23 patients received SMILE chemotherapy. A higher complete response rate was observed in patients treated with DDGP regimen (61.3% vs. 30.4%, P = 0.025). The DDGP group (95% confidence interval (CI) of 5-year progression-free survival (PFS): 24.6-66.2%; 95% CI of 5-year overall survival (OS): 8.5-91.7%) was also significantly associated with longer 5-year PFS and 5-year OS (P = 0.008 for 5-year PFS, P = 0.023 for 5-year OS). More serious leucopenia (P = 0.021), neutropenia (P = 0.041), and allergy (P = 0.040) were observed in the SMILE group. Post-treatment Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-DNA status (P = 0.001 for PFS, P = 0.018 for OS) was identified as a significant prognostic factor for PFS and OS in multivariate analysis. The present research suggested that compared with SMILE chemotherapy, DDGP chemotherapy can significantly improve the response and survival of relapsed/refractory ENKL with better tolerance. Post-treatment EBV-DNA status was identified as a significant prognostic factor for PFS and OS in relapsed/refractory ENKL.

Outcomes of GDPT (gemcitabine, cisplatin, prednisone, thalidomide) versus CHOP in newly diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphoma patients. Ther Adv Med Oncol 2020; 12:1758835920923829. [PMID: 32550864 PMCID: PMC7278096 DOI: 10.1177/1758835920923829] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2019] [Accepted: 04/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim: To compare the outcomes of GDPT [gemcitabine (G), cisplatin (D), prednisone
(P), thalidomide (T)] versus CHOP (cyclophosphamide,
doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) in treating newly diagnosed PTCL
(peripheral T-cell lymphoma). Methods: An open-label prospective clinical trial with 153 newly diagnosed PTCL
patients conducted between January 2010 and December 2018 was designed.
Patients were randomly assigned to the GDPT (77 cases) and CHOP (76 cases)
groups. Patients in each group were further divided into four subgroups:
PTCL, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS); anaplastic large cell lymphoma
(ALCL), angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma (AITL), and other types subgroup,
in accordance with pathological patterns. Based on expression of
RRM1, TOP2A, TUBB3, and ERCC1,
patients were divided into groups with high and low gene expression levels.
Clinical characteristics, side effects, efficacy, progression-free survival
(PFS), and overall survival (OS) were compared. Results: There were no significant differences in the basic clinical features or side
effects between the GDPT and CHOP groups. The overall response rate (ORR) of
the GDPT group was better than that of the CHOP group (66.3%
versus 50.0%, p = 0.042), as was the
complete remission (CR) rate (42.9% versus 27.6%,
p = 0.049). Patients in the GDPT group had a longer PFS
and OS than the CHOP group. The 4-year PFS and OS rates in the GDPT group
were both superior to those in the CHOP group (63.6% versus
53.0% for PFS, p = 0.035; 66.8% versus
53.6% for OS, p = 0.039). In the GDPT group, the difference
in CR between the four subgroups was statistically significant
(p = 0.046). In the CHOP group, differences in both CR
and ORR among the four subgroups were statistically significant
(p < 0.001 and p = 0.005,
respectively). There were also statistically significant differences in CR
between patients treated with CHOP and GDPT in the PTCL-NOS subgroup, AITL
subgroup, and the other types subgroup (p = 0.015;
p = 0.003; p = 0.005, respectively).
The data also showed a significant difference in OS among the four subgroups
within the GDPT group (p = 0.001). The OS of AITL was
shorter than that of the other three subgroups. Four subgroups of CHOP
showed a significant difference in PFS (p = 0.019). There
was no statistical association between responses and the gene expression
levels of RRM1, ERCC1, TUBB3, and
TOP2A. Conclusion: The GDPT group had better response rates and prolonged patient PFS and OS. As
a promising new regimen, GDPT is expected to become the first-line therapy
for PTCL. New agents should be applied to patients who do not achieve good
responses with previous treatment, such as those diagnosed with
angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma. Trial registration: This open randomized prospective clinical trial was registered at
ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01664975).

Cancer Med 2019; 8:3349-3358. [PMID: 31050212 PMCID: PMC6601591 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.2214] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2018] [Revised: 03/12/2019] [Accepted: 04/13/2019] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKL), nasal-type is a rare but highly aggressive disease with poor prognosis. Optimal treatment strategies for newly diagnosed localized ENKL have not been fully defined. Here we retrospectively analyzed 72 patients with newly diagnosed stage IE/IIE ENKL treated with gemcitabine, dexamethasone, and cisplatin (GDP) regimen chemotherapy with sandwiched radiotherapy in our department between May 2012 and September 2014. After 2 cycles of GDP induction chemotherapy, the complete response rate (CRR) and overall response rate (ORR) were 30.6% (22/72) and 91.7% (66/72). After whole treatment completion, the CRR and ORR were 81.9% (59/72) and 91.7% (66/72), respectively. With a median follow-up of 57.8 months (Interquartile Range 54.0-64.5 months), the 5-year progression-free survival rate was 70.9% (95% CI, 60.1% to 81.7%), and the 5-year overall survival rate was 72.0% (95% CI, 61.6% to 82.4%), respectively. Patients with CRR after treatment had better prognosis than their counterparts. The major adverse events were myelosuppression, liver dysfunction, gemcitabine-related skin rash, and digestive tract toxicities. Grade 3 to 4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia were 18.0% (13/72) and 15.3% (11/72), respectively. No treatment related deaths were observed. It is concluded that the GDP regimen with sandwiched radiotherapy was an effective and well-tolerated treatment for newly diagnosed stage IE/IIE ENKL, nasal-type.

The factors associated with the early diagnosis of nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma with prominent ocular symptoms and general nasal NKTL. Am J Otolaryngol 2019; 40:353-357. [PMID: 30717991 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjoto.2019.01.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2018] [Revised: 01/11/2019] [Accepted: 01/28/2019] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
AIM This study explored the clinical features of nasal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTL) in patients with prominent ocular symptoms and those with general nasal NKTL to improve the early diagnosis of nasal NKTL. METHOD A retrospective cohort study was performed with 278 patients with nasal NKTL admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between January 2011 and December 2017. Of these cases, 56 presented with nasal NKTL and prominent ocular symptoms, and 222 presented with general nasal NKTL. RESULTS No significant differences in gender and age distribution were found between patients with general nasal NKTL and those with nasal NKTL and prominent ocular symptoms (p > 0.05). Cases of nasal NKTL and prominent ocular symptoms were usually complicated with B symptoms(48.2% vs 32.9%, p < 0.05). Patients with nasal NKTL and prominent ocular symptoms were more likely to progress to stage III disease (p < 0.01). The median time from first onset to diagnosis was 2.5 months. Most patients with general nasal NKTL had a longer history (69.6% vs 45.0%, p < 0.01). The misdiagnosis rate of the first visit of patients with general nasal NKTL was 29.3%, and that of patients with prominent ocular symptoms was 51.8%; this difference was significant (p < 0.01). Patients with nasal NKTL and prominent ocular symptoms showed a higher positive rate of EBV DNA (p < 0.01), which was significantly associated with staging (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Compared with patients with general nasal NKTL, the early diagnosis of patients with prominent ocular symptoms is difficult and easy to misdiagnose. Patients with nasal NKTL and prominent ocular symptoms mostly present with advanced disease stages, and most patients have B symptoms and a high positive rate of EBV DNA.

Clinical efficacy of cisplatin, dexamethasone, gemcitabine and pegaspargase (DDGP) in the initial treatment of advanced stage (stage III-IV) extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, and its correlation with Epstein-Barr virus. Cancer Manag Res 2019; 11:3555-3564. [PMID: 31118779 PMCID: PMC6497975 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s191929] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2018] [Accepted: 02/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the DDGP regimen in treating extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma and investigate the correlation between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-DNA variation after treatment and the clinical efficacy of NK/T-cell lymphoma. Methods: Sixty-four patients with extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma received DDGP regimen-based chemotherapy. Short-term and long-term clinical efficacy and adverse reactions were observed. The relationship between EBV-DNA changes before and after therapy and clinical efficacy was investigated. Results: After the DDGP regimen was used as the initial treatment, the short-term clinical efficacy included 39 complete remission (CR) (60.94%), 12 partial remission (PR) (18.75%), 2 stable disease (SD) (3.13%) and 11 progressive disease (PD) (17.18%). Objective response rate (ORR) was 79.69% and 82.82% for disease control rate (DCR). 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 62.00% and 3-year overall survive (OS) was 74.90%. Hemocytopenia was the predominant adverse effect. Between EBV-DNA positive group and its negative counterpart, a significant difference was noted in OS (P=0.046), but no difference in ORR, DCR or PFS was observed. In the EBV-DNA positive group, ORR, DCR, PFS and OS were higher for patients whose EBV-DNA copy number decreased within a normal range than patients remained positive (93.33% versus 61.53%, P=0.041 for ORR; 93.33% versus 61.53%, P=0.041 for DCR, P=0.003 for PFS, P=0.017 for OS). The main adverse reactions included bone marrow suppression, gastrointestinal reaction and coagulation dysfunction, which were mitigated and treated after expectant or dose-decrement treatment. Conclusion: DDGP regimen can significantly improve the clinical prognosis of NK/T-cell lymphoma patients with tolerable adverse reactions. The variation in EBV-DNA is correlated with clinical efficacy and prognosis, which provides a theoretical basis for NK/T-cell lymphoma therapy. Clinical trial: In November 2011, this clinical trial was registered on the website: www.ClinicalTrials.gov (No. NCT01501149).

Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the toxicity profiles of SMILE versus less intense L-asparaginase-containing regimens, CCRT or "sandwich" RT+CT regimens. Methods: PRISMA protocol was used to search Pubmed and Embase for studies of treatment regimens for extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTL) in English published before March 2018. Pooled data were grouped into five categories: A) CHOP-like regimens; B) Gemcitabine-based regimens; C) SMILE-like regimens; D) Concurrent and "sandwich" RT + CT; and E) Methotrexate-based combinations. We pooled prevalence of selected adverse events from each study to calculate the weighted overall prevalence using meta-proportion in Stata. Results: Group C was the most toxic with the pooled neutropenia 72% (95 CI 64;80) and thrombocytopenia 48% (95% CI 40;55) prevalence. The use of Group D treatment regimens was associated with the lowest anemia (10% (95% CI 1;19)) prevalence. Group E was the least toxic with regard to thrombocytopenia (6% (95% CI 1;11). Conclusion: Our analysis confirms that SMILE regimen, which is current standard to treat advanced-stage ENKTL may be associated with more severe hematological toxicity compared to other L-asparaginase combinations, including methotrexate-based (AspaMetDex, MESA and MEDA) or gemcitabine-based (GELOX, PGEMOX, DDGP, GDL, GOLD, GLIDE) or CCRT-based regimens.

Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of several treatment modalities, including CHOP based concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT), for the patients with stage IE or IIE nasal extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (nasal ENKL). The cases were retrieved between 2000 and 2010 (n=94), and were followed to the end of February 2016. The patients were grouped into A (chemotherapy alone; CT alone), B (sequential treatment) and C (CCRT). For those with efficacy evaluation for overall treatment (n=90), CR was attained in 60.0% (18/30), 69.8% (30/43) and 76.5% (13/17) patients in the group A, B and C, respectively. The 5-year OS rate was 35.2%, 41.9% and 70.6% in the group A, B and C, respectively. For patients with early stage diseases (IE and IIE), the ECOG performance status and the Ann Arbor stage were significant prognostic factors for both OS and PFS. Among the stage IE patients, besides the ECOG performance status, three prognostic factors which related to treatments (treatment modalities, efficacy of initial and overall treatment) were significant against OS or PFS. In conclusion, compared to chemotherapy alone and sequential treatment, nasal ENKL patients in early stages, especially stage IE, benefit the most from CHOP based concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this review was to compare the efficacy of asparaginase (ASP)-containing vs ASP-absent regimens in the first-line treatment of ENKTL patients. METHODS The PRISMA protocol was used to search PubMed and Embase for both controlled and uncontrolled studies of ASP or alternative chemotherapy (CT) for newly diagnosed ENKTL, published in English by March 2017. The regimens were compared to calculate relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) of the overall response rate (ORR), complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). RESULTS Out of 38 studies included, eight were controlled trials, with the pooled RR of ORR in stage I-II 1.54 (95% CI 1.34-1.77); stage I-IV 1.34 (95% CI 1.09-1.64). In stage III-IV CT combined with radiotherapy (RT), RR of ORR was 2.30 (95% CI 1.66-3.18). ASP was also superior in achieving CR. When all single arms combined, RR of ORR after CT with ASP was 1.52 (95% CI 1.38-1.67) in stage I-II (15 studies); 1.44 (95% CI 1.32-1.57) in all stages (29 studies); 1.31 (95% CI 1.24-1.38) and 1.66 (95% CI 1.18-2.34) in stages I-II and III-IV combined with RT, correspondingly. CONCLUSIONS ASP-based CT significantly improved ORR and CR in patients with newly diagnosed both early-stage and advanced-stage ENKTL.
