Am J Hematol. 2024 Mar;99(3):494-496. doi: 10.1002/ajh.27205. Epub 2024 Jan 19.

Abstract

Survival remains poor for T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia, though treatment in recent years, associated with access to novel therapies, and management at academic medical centers is associated with improved outcomes. There remains a critical need to improve the available treatment options for this population, and access to specialized academic medical centers, comprehensive supportive care, clinical trials, and early palliative care remains essential for T-PLL patients.
