Extranodal nasal-type NK/T lymphoma treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy: case series from a  European tertiary referral center and review of the literature

ConclusionPatients with bilateral lymph node involvement and/or high EBV viral load have a  significant recurrence rate despite multimodal therapy. These results need to be confirmed by larger studies. Given the high rate of local recurrence within radiotherapy fields, the value of dose escalation should be considered. Patients at risk of relapse should be included in dedicated trials.
