T and NK-cell lymphomas are aggressive neoplasms with a unique epidemiological distribution, demonstrating higher prevalence in Asian countries compared to the West. Through the efforts of international collaboration, significant progress has been made especially on the biological understanding and clinical management of rare lymphoma subtypes including NK/T-cell lymphomas and monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma. In this review, we summarize the current status of lymphoma research conducted by the Asian Lymphoma Study Group and highlight key updates on the advancement of T and NK-cell lymphoma research.
T细胞和NK细胞淋巴瘤是具有独特流行病学分布的侵袭性肿瘤,与西方相比,在亚洲国家的患病率更高。通过国际合作的努力,特别是在包括NK/T细胞淋巴瘤和单形性嗜上皮性肠道T细胞淋巴瘤在内的罕见淋巴瘤亚型的生物学认识和临床管理方面取得了重大进展。在本综述中,我们总结了亚洲淋巴瘤研究组进行的淋巴瘤研究现状,并强调了T细胞和NK细胞淋巴瘤研究进展的关键更新。
