Abstract

The most of extranodal nasal type NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) are in the Ⅰ/Ⅱ stage. Radiotherapy alone is insufficient to achieve a high cure rate for the early stage patients with ENKTL due to frequent local and systemic relapse. Concomitant/sequential chemotherapy and radiotherapy is the standard treatment for the early stage patients with ENKTL. For the patients with stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ ENKTL, regimens containing L-asparaginase are most effective. For the patients with advanced stage ENKTL or refractory recurrent ENKTL, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may be considered when the remission is achieved. Key words: Lymphoma, extranodal NK-T-cell; Radiotherapy; Drug therapy; Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
