Abstract: The most of extranodal nasal type NK/Tcell lymphoma (ENKTL) are in the Ⅰ/Ⅱ stage. Radiotherapy alone is insufficient to achieve a high cure rate for the early stage patients with ENKTL due to frequent local and systemic relapse. Concomitant/sequential chemotherapy and radiotherapy is the standard treatment for the early stage patients with ENKTL. For the patients with stage Ⅲ/Ⅳ ENKTL, regimens containing Lasparaginase are most effective. For the patients with advanced stage ENKTL or refractory recurrent ENKTL, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may be considered when the remission is achieved.
