Abstract: The incidence rate is high in Asia country, accounting for 15 %-20 % of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Every phynotype has different heterogeneity, therapeutic effect and prognosis are also different. There is no standard rigemen for T cell lymphoma at present. CHOP like regimen is commonly used. But therapeutic effect is not as good as we expected. Clinical research shows that dose and intensity regimen, such as m-BACOD,ProMACE-CytaBOM, MACOP-B, do not exhibit survival advantage compared with CHOP regimen. New treatment includes cytotoxic drug, such as gemcitabine. As first line therapy for T cell lymphoma or as salvage therapy for refractory or relapsed T cell lymphoma, the therapeutic effect is good. Gemcitabine based regimen is new for PTCL. Alemtuzumab is a humanized CD52 mono-clonal antibody and is expected as good effect on PTCL therapy. Zanolimumab is a humanized mono-clonal antibody which targets CD4 antigen on T cell. Phase Ⅱclinical research has also got good effect. Denileukin difiitox and Pralatrexate also have good effect on PTCL therapy in clinical researches. Autologous stem cell transplantation(ASCT) is also used in PTCL therapy.
