TLDR
IMRT achieves excellent target coverage and dose conformity, as well as favorable survival and locoregional control rates with acceptable toxicities in patients with WR-NKTCL.Abstract:
Purpose To assess the dosimetric benefit, treatment outcome, and toxicity of high-dose and extended-field intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in patients with early-stage NK/T-cell lymphoma of Waldeyer's ring (WR-NKTCL). Methods and Materials Thirty patients with early-stage WR-NKTCL who received extended-field IMRT were retrospectively reviewed. The prescribed dose was 50 Gy to the primary involved regions and positive cervical lymph nodes (planning target volume requiring radical irradiation [PTV 50 ]) and 40 Gy to the negative cervical nodes (PTV 40 ). Dosimetric parameters for the target volume and critical normal structures were evaluated. Locoregional control (LRC), overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results The median mean doses to the PTV 50 and PTV 40 were 53.2 Gy and 43.0 Gy, respectively. Only 1.4% of the PTV 50 and 0.9% of the PTV 40 received less than 95% of the prescribed dose, indicating excellent target coverage. The average mean doses to the left and right parotid glands were 27.7 and 28.4 Gy, respectively. The 2-year OS, PFS, and LRC rates were 71.2%, 57.4%, and 87.8%. Most acute toxicities were grade 1 to 2, except for grade ≥3 dysphagia and mucositis. The most common late toxicity was grade 1-2 xerostomia, and no patient developed any ≥grade 3 late toxicities. A correlation between the mean dose to the parotid glands and the degree of late xerostomia was observed. Conclusions IMRT achieves excellent target coverage and dose conformity, as well as favorable survival and locoregional control rates with acceptable toxicities in patients with WR-NKTCL.read more

TL;DR: PD-L1 expression positively correlated LMP1 expression in NKTCL, which was probably mediated by the MAPK/NF-κB pathway, and has significant prognostic value for early-stageNKTCL.

TL;DR: Risk-adapted therapy involving RT alone for low-risk patients and RT consolidated by CT for high- risk patients is a viable, effective strategy for early-stage NKTCL.

TL;DR: The proposed nomogram provides an individualized risk estimate of OS in patients with NKTCL and was superior to the predictive power of the Ann Arbor stage, IPI and KPI in the primary and validation cohorts.

Report of the Committee on Hodgkin's Disease Staging Classification.
TL;DR: The Rye classification for staging has become necessary to reconsider and to recommend a modified scheme, which takes into account all the extrapathological data obtained from vigorous staging procedures and has a higher degree of precision but is restricted in its application to relatively few centers.
