Abstract
Aim: This multicenter retrospective study aimed to develop a novel prognostic system for extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) patients in the era of pegaspargase/L-asparaginase.Materials & methods: A total of844 newly diagnosed ENKTL patients were included.Results: Multivariable analysis confirmed that Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, lactate dehydrogenase, Chinese Southwest Oncology Group and Asia Lymphoma Study Group ENKTL (CA) system, and albumin were independent prognostic factors. By rounding up the hazard ratios from foursignificant variables, a maximum of 7 points wereassigned. The model of Huaihai Lymphoma Working Group-Natural killer/T-cell Lymphoma prognostic index (NPI) was identified with four risk groups and the 5-year overall survival was 88.2, 66.7, 54.3and 30.5%, respectively.Conclusion: Huaihai Lymphoma Working Group-NPI provides a feasible stratification system for patients with ENKTL in the era of pegaspargase/L-asparaginase.
