Preliminary Results of Concurrent Chemoradiation Therapy in Patients with Early Stage Extranodal Nasal Type NK/T-cell Lymphoma

Abstract

Extranodal nasal type NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) is a peculiar pathological type of NHL with higher incidence in south China. Though most of the diseases can be diagnosed at early stage, the prognosis after combined radiotherapy (RT) and chemotherapy (CT) is generally poor, and optimal treatments remain unclear. We investigated concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) in a group of patients and here report the feasibility and preliminary outcome of this treatment.
