Patients with Ki-1 ALCL have a high frequency of advanced-stage disease and extranodal involvement and are more likely to have tumors of T-cell phenotype than patients with large-cell lymphoma. However, response to standard lymphoma chemotherapy is similar to other patients with large-cell lymphoma, with a high remission rate in early-stage disease. Patients with advanced-stage disease have a poor remission duration and may require more intensive therapy, as may also be the case with large-cell lymphoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
