Длительные Режимы Цитостатической Терапии Ангиоиммунобластной Т-клеточной Лимфомы

Introduction: Current СНОР-like therapy for angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma demonstrates unsatisfactory results with respect to the achievement of complete remission. It indicates the need in the search for new approaches to therapy of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma. Objective: To define the rational approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). Materials and methods: Within the period from 2002 to 2012, we followed-up 15 patients with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, with median age of 61 years (range 29-77) and the male/female ratio of 11/4. All patients had stage IV disease; the bone marrow, lungs, spleen, and skin were involved in 14 (93 %), 9 (60 %), 12 (80 %), and 6 (40 %) patients, respectively. Results: We used prolonged chemotherapy GMALL 2002 and ALL-2009 regimens for treatment of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (11 patients). Complete remission was achieved in 55 % of cases with median follow up of 33 mouths. Conclusion: The usage of short-term chemotherapy programs (CHOP-like) for treatment of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma doesn't seem to give good results. Administration of prolonged chemotherapy is more appropriate and allows achieving remission of the disease.
