Intern Med J. 2017 Apr;47(4):464-466. doi: 10.1111/imj.13390.

Abstract

This retrospective audit of patients diagnosed with mature T-cell lymphoma across a 10-year period provides contemporary information on the outcomes and treatment patterns of an Australian cohort. Forty-two patients diagnosed with mature T-cell lymphoma were identified from the Tasmanian Cancer Registry and analysed using medical records and simple statistical analysis. The demographics and outcomes of patients in this cohort were comparable to large international studies with treatment patterns in line with the best available evidence.

Keywords: T cell; T-cell lymphoma; autologous stem cell transplant; haematopoietic stem cell transplant; non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
