Association of Improved Locoregional Control With Prolonged Survival in Early-Stage Extranodal Nasal-Type Natural Killer/T-Cell Lymphoma

Abstract: The optimal dose was 50 Gy for patients with early-stage disease. The improved LRC was associated with prolonged survival. These findings emphasize the importance of RT in optimizing first-line therapy, and provide evidence for making treatment decisions and designing clinical trials.

“…Radiotherapy is the backbone of curative intent for localized disease [7,8,11], but not for disseminated disease [35]. Improved locoregional control by radiotherapy is associated with prolonged OS and PFS in early-stage ENKTCL [36]. However, only systematic chemotherapy has the potential to cure patients with advanced or disseminated disease [9,14,35].…”

“…The use of anthracycline-containing regimens followed by radiotherapy gave even poorer results (PFS: 71.5%; OS: 86.3%). In a more recent study where radiotherapy was given with or without chemotherapy (80% of which was anthracycline-containing) for apparently unselected patients, the results were worse [60], with a 5-year PFS of merely 61%, and a 5-year OS of 70%, even when high doses of radiotherapy (at least 50 Gy) were used. Hence, for stage I/II patients in whom chemotherapy (non-anthracycline-containing) is feasible, radiotherapy should not be employed as the sole initial treatment, whatever the risk categories.…”

“…For all patients, the 5-year OS of 80%, progressionfree survival of 69%, and local control of 93% were observed. More recently, Yang et al [26] conduct a largescale retrospective analysis of Stage I ENKTL patients and they are all given high-dose extended-field RT with a median radiation dose of 50 Gy (range, 20-65 Gy). The overall response to RT arrived to 97.7% (85/87) patients in a short time, recommending 50 Gy as the optimal dose for patients with early-stage disease.…”
