  • Chapter
  • First Online:
T-Cell and NK-Cell Lymphomas

Part of the book series: Cancer Treatment and Research ((CTAR,volume 176))

Abstract

Purpose: This review will describe and update readers on the recent changes in the 2017 WHO classification regarding peripheral T-cell lymphomas.

Recent findings: Signficant advances in molecular studies have resulted in revisions to the classification as well as introduction to provisional entities such as breast implant-associated ALCL and nodal PTCL with T-follicular helper phenotype.

Summary: Major advances in molecular and gene expression profiling has expanded our knowledge of these rare and aggressive diseases.
