2 standard-of-care settings across 2 lines and 1 biomarker subgroup. Rows come from the cancer page's standard of care; the grid places each on its line and subgroup.
| Subgroup | Setting | Approach | Products and trials | Guideline | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All comers | Making the diagnosis | CD30 and ALK immunohistochemistry on the biopsy. The diagnosis is partly a negative one: uniform strong CD30 with an anaplastic appearance and no ALK, in a lymphoma that is not confined to the skin and is not associated with a breast implant. Those two exclusions matter because both of them are treated very differently. Testing for DUSP22 and TP63 rearrangements is done where it is available, with the caution that WHO-HAEM5 does not regard the resulting groups as established subtypes. | WHO Classification of Haematolymphoid Tumours, 5th edition (2022), with the International Consensus Classification (2022) where they differ | 95 |
| Subgroup | Setting | Approach | Products and trials | Guideline | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All comers | First-line treatment | Brentuximab vedotin with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and prednisone, the same regimen as for ALK-positive disease and on the same trial: in ECHELON-2, five-year progression-free survival was 51.4 per cent against 43.0 with chemotherapy alone and overall survival 70.1 against 61.0. Consolidating a first remission with high-dose therapy and an autologous stem cell transplant is standard practice here, unlike in ALK-positive disease, and it rests on a single-arm study and registry comparisons rather than on a randomised trial; a patient is entitled to be told that. The regimens are on the peripheral T-cell lymphoma page. | ECHELON-2 five-year results (Annals of Oncology 2022); NCCN T-Cell Lymphomas; NCI PDQ | 89 |
Lines and subgroups are parsed from the setting text of each standard-of-care row and can misclassify an unusual phrasing; the row’s own setting is always shown. Guideline chips reflect the NCCN category and ESMO-MCBS grade recorded on the cancer page, checked on its stated date. Not medical advice.
