MiR187 was overexpressed in peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) and associated with high Ki67 expression, elevated lactate dehydrogenase, advanced International Prognostic Index and poor prognosis of patients.
TET2 loss-of-function mutations are highly frequent in subtypes of T-cell lymphoma that harbor follicular helper T (Tfh)-cell-like features, such as angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (30-83%) or peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (10-49%), as well as myeloid malignancies.
Napsin A expression was also observed in 13.4% (20/149) of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL), 11.1% (15/134) of Hodgkin lymphomas, 4.9% (2/41) of follicular lymphomas, 6% (4/67) of peripheral T-cell lymphomas, and 3.8% (1/26) of plasma cell neoplasms.
Caveolin-1 was upregulated, albeit with a heterogeneous nature, across all mature T-cell lymphoma subtypes, a finding confirmed using immunohistochemical staining on an independent sampling of mature T-cell lymphoma biopsies (n = 65 cases).
PD-L1 expression was present in more than 5% of tumour or non-malignant HRS-like cells in 100% of EBV<sup>+</sup> classical (C) Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) (n = 10) and EBV-negative nodular sclerosis CHL (n = 8); 40% of EBV<sup>+</sup> diffuse large B cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (DLBCL-NOS) (n = 20); and 4% of nodal peripheral T cell lymphoma of follicular helper T cell type (PTCL-TFH) (n = 22).
Part 1 will cover PTCL not otherwise specified, follicular T-cell lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL), and breast implant-associated ALCL.
EZH2 expression was significantly correlated with the presence of B symptoms, elevated LDH and elevated β2 microglobulin (B2M; P<0.05), and HDAC2 expression was significantly correlated with sex, advanced clinical stages, high international prognostic index scores and elevated B2M levels (P<0.05) in all the patients with PTCL.
G17VRHOA mutations were identified in 27 of 67 (40.3%) PTCL samples using NGS. ddPCR and PNA-LNA clamp method both detected G17V mutations in 4 samples in addition to those detected with NGS (31 of 67, 46.3%).
A distinct subset of patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is described which reacts with Leu-19 (CD56), an antibody that has been shown to identify the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM).
A new prognostic score comprising lactate dehydrogenase, albumin and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio to predict sensitivity to first-line chemotherapy in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphomas.
A newly developed model of peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL) using the ITK-SYK fusion gene should serve as a powerful tool to dissect the signaling cascades important for SYK-associated malignancy in the context of t(5;9) PTCL.

Accordingly, the combination of THZ1 and the BH3 mimetic obatoclax improves lymphoma growth control in a primary PTCL ex vivo culture and in two STAT3-mutant PTCL xenografts, delineating a potential targeted agent-based therapeutic option for these patients.
Additionally, the 2 IHC-defined subtypes were significantly associated with distinct morphological features (P < .001), and there was a significant enrichment of an activated CD8+ cytotoxic phenotype in the PTCL-TBX21 subtype (P = .03).
AL was consistently associated with the highest frequency of EBER among the extranodal PTL: nose (19/20), GI tracts (3/3), skin (14/15), and Waldeyer's ring (11/14).
