Understanding Peripheral T-Cell Lymphomas: A Comprehensive Guide

Peripheral T-Cell lymphomas (PTCL) are a group of rare and complex blood cancers that develop from mature T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. Despite representing 10-15% of all non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases in the US and up to 20-25% in regions like South America and Asia, PTCL remain poorly understood and challenging to treat.

The unique geographic distribution of PTCL, influenced by various etiologic factors, adds to the complexity of this disease. The Peripheral T-Cell Lymphomas, a comprehensive and authoritative text, delves into the biology, epidemiology, classification, and treatment of this rare group of blood cancers.

A Comprehensive Survey of Peripheral T-Cell Lymphomas

Featuring contributions from an international team of leading experts, this authoritative text covers:

• The biological basis and epidemiology of PTCL
• Classification and approved and emerging treatments
• Molecular genetics and more

Detailed clinical chapters address diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of each major PTCL subtype, as identified in the 2018 WHO Classification of Tumors of Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues.

A Valuable Resource for the Medical Community

This indispensable resource offers:

• Insights into the biological basis, epidemiology, classification, and treatment of PTCL
• Future directions, including global collaboration efforts and novel approaches to PTCL
• Explore the role of biologics in PTCL and autologous and allogeneic stem-cell transplantation
• New perspectives on molecular pathogenesis, innovative therapeutics, and novel drug combinations

With contributions from the Chairs of The T-Cell Lymphoma Forum, the world’s largest meeting focused on PTCL, this text reflects the unique epidemiology and genetic diversity of PTCL, making it an essential source of data, insight, and references for oncologists, hematologists, and medical professionals in both training and practice.
