Advances in the treatment and prognosis of anaplastic lymphoma kinase negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma

Abstract: Anaplastic lymphoma kinase negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALK-ALCL) is a definite entity in the WHO 2016 Classification that represents 2-3% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and 12% of T-cell NHL cases. ALK-ALCL lacks ALK protein expression, but expresses CD30 and has morphologic features similar to ALK positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALK+ ALCL). Some studies indicate that ALK-ALCL and ALK+ ALCL possess different molecular and genetic characteristics. Besides, ALK-ALCL is worse than ALK+ ALCL i… Show more

“…At present, the first-line treatment for patients diagnosed with systemic ALCL is represented by CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone) standard chemotherapy, but the recurrence of refractory or relapsed disease entailed the use of stem cell transplantation and the FDA approval of four novel single-agent treatments: pralatrexate, a folic acid antagonist, romidepsin and belinostat, two histone deacetylase inhibitors and Brentuximab vedotin, a drug-conjugated monoclonal antibody directed to CD30-expressing cells [37]. Over the last decades, the immunotherapeutic approach has gained an ever-growing interest in the treatment of several hematological malignancies [28,38] because the presence of circulating cancer cells and the expression of a rich repertoire of surface antigens make these kinds of diseases good candidates for monoclonal antibody (mAb)-based therapies.…”

“…ALCL is a CD30+ positive T cell lymphoma with its own characteristic morphology and immunophenotype[14]. According to the expression of ALK, the WHO 2016 classification system divided ALCL into four entities: systemic ALK-positive ALCL (ALCL, ALK+), systemic ALK-negative ALCL (ALCL, ALK-), primary cutaneous ALCL (pC-ALCL), and breast implant-associated ALCL (BI-ALCL)[2].…”

“…Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), defined as a CD30 positive peripheral T-cell neoplasma, accounts for 6% to 24% T-cell lymphomas. [ 1 ] Multiple myeloma (MM) is a disease defined as the B cell neoplastic proliferation of a single clone of plasma cells producing a monoclonal immunoglobulin. [ 2 ] Co-existence of lymphoproliferative neoplasms of B and T-cell lineage in the same patient is rare.…”
