ABSTRACT
The study investigated the treatment and prognosis of advanced-stage extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL). With a median follow-up of 75.03 months, the median overall survival (mOS) for the 195 newly diagnosed stage III/IV ENKTL patients was 19.43 months, and estimated 1-, 2-, 3- and 5-year OS were 59.5%, 46.3%, 41.8% and 35.1%, respectively. Chemotherapy (CT) + radiotherapy (RT) compared to CT alone (P = .007), and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) compared to non-HSCT (P < .001), both improved OS. For patients ≤60 years and ineligible for HSCT, other therapies with complete remission led to comparable OS (P = .141). Nine patients ever treated with chidamide achieved a median progression-free survival (mPFS) and mOS of 53.63 (range, 3.47-92.33) and 54.80 (range, 5.50-95.70) months, and four with chidamide maintenance therapy (MT) achieved a mPFS and mOS of 55.83 (range, 53.27-92.33) and 60.65 (range, 53.70-95.70) months, possibly providing an alternative option for non-HSCT patients. Non-anthracycline (ANT)- compared to ANT-, asparaginase (Aspa)- compared to non-Aspa- and gemcitabine (Gem)- compared to non-Gem-based regimens, prolonged PFS (P = .031; P = .005; P = .009) and OS (P = .010; P = .086; P = .003), respectively. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that Gem-based regimens improved PFS (HR = 0.691, P = .061) and OS (HR = 0.624, P = .037). Gem + Aspa combinations slightly improved PFS and OS compared to regimens containing Gem or Aspa alone (P > 0.05). First-line "intensive therapy," including CT (particularly Gem + Aspa regimens), RT, HSCT and alternative chidamide MT, was proposed and could improve long-term survival for advanced-stage ENKTLs. Ongoing prospective clinical studies may shed further light on the value of chidamide MT.
