Abstract
Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) are uncommon and aggressive diseases that are difficult to study. Combination chemotherapy such as cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone has been the mainstay of treatment for almost 30 years, but outcomes remain poor. The development of new targeted therapies is changing the landscape of how we treat patients with these difficult diseases. For instance, the addition of brentuximab vedotin to combination chemotherapy enhanced the outcomes in patients with CD30-positive anaplastic large cell lymphomas, but there is still a need for better therapies in the other numerous subtypes. Here we discuss the data for the existing treatment paradigm of PTCL as well as the merits of shifting toward a chemotherapy-free approach.
