OBJECTIVE To investigate the application of blood test in the prognosis of nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma.METHODS The clinicopathologic and follow-up data of 62 patients with nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma proven by pathological examination were collected.The blood lactic dehydrogenase(LDH),globulin(GLB),albumin(ALB),hemoglobin(Hb),and white blood cell(WBC) were examined in these patients.The correlation between these factors and prognosis were analyzed with univariate analysis and multivariate analysis.RESULTS Of the 62 patients,47 were males and 15 were females.Their median age was 42 years.Ninety two percent of the patients were in Ann Arbor I/Ⅱ stage,and 76 % had international prognostic index(IPI) of 0 or 1.Before treatment,92 % of the patients had ECOG performance status(PS) score of 0-1,26 % had anemia,53 % presented B symptoms.The median overall survival time was 27 months(95 % CI:10-45months).In univariate analysis,gender,age,PS score,LDH,IPI,B symptoms,Hb and WBC were statistically significantly correlated to the prognosis.In multivariate analysis,Hb1 were statistically significant unfavorable prognostic factors.CONCLUSION Hb together with B symptoms and PS score may be independent prognostic factors for nasal NK/T cell lymphoma.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors of nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma. METHOD: The clinicopathological data, treatment modality and survival status were analyzed. RESULT: The overall five year survival rate of: 62 patients was 63.5%. In univariate analysis, the prognosis of the patients was correlated with the age, perforation, B symptom, stage, Hb concentration, LDH level, size of tumor cell, number of involvement sites, angioinvasion and treatment modality (P < 0.05 or P <0.01). In multivariate analysis, the Hb concentration, the size of the tumor cell and the treatment modality were the independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSION The Hb concentration, the size of the tumor cell and the treatment modality play key role in the prognosis of nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma.
