Is there any new prognostic score for peripheral T-cell lymphoma?

Abstract

Objective: To compare with IPI the usefulness of new prognostic scores in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) from a single institution. Methodology: Sixty patients (30 male/30 female) with PTCL [anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) 18, PTCL not otherwise specified 32 and other 10)]. International Prognostic Index (IPI), Modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS), Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), The combined index of hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet (HALP), Platelet to Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) , Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), albumin/globulin ratio(A/G), Prognostic nutritional index(PNI) were calculated as in the original references. Results: mGPS,GNRI,HALP,PLR,NLR,A/G and PNI have not significance to predict overall survival in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma(Table-1). Conclusions: IPI is still superior from all prognostic scores (mGPS,GNRI,HALP,PLR,NLR,A/G and PNI) to predict overall survival.
