Abstract 337P
Background
T and NK-cell lymphoma represents approximately 10 to 15% of all non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma worldwide. However, the epidemiology of underlying subtypes varies geographically. As such, we aim to investigate disease patterns, patient demographics and survival outcomes in a multiethnic cohort from Singapore.
Methods
We performed a retrospective analysis on various histological subtypes of T and NK-cell lymphoma diagnosed from 2004 to 2022 (n=325) at the National Cancer Centre Singapore. Clinico-demographic data were collated across major ethnic groups (Chinese, Malay and Indian) and pre-defined age groups (<40, 40-65, and >65 years). Overall survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Results
In our study cohort, the median age was 55 years (range, 15-88), with a male predominance (61.2%). Major ethnic groups include Chinese (72.0%), followed by Malays (10.5%) and Indians (4.6%). In terms of age at diagnosis, the majority presented between ages 40 to 65 years (50.8%) in comparison to other age groups (<40 years, 24.0%) and (>65 years, 25.2%). The most common histological subtypes include angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma/peripheral T-cell lymphoma T-follicular helper phenotype (AITL/PTCL-TFH) (38.8%), natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) (17.2%), and peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) (12.6%). In analysis by age groups, AITL/PTCL-TFH was the dominant diagnosis. The next most common diagnosis was NKTCL for patients above 65 years, and was PTCL-NOS in patients under 40 years. Further analysis of ethnic distribution amongst these common subtypes revealed a similar trend, though interestingly, NKTCL was not observed amongst the Indian subgroup. In the whole cohort, the median overall survival was 21.4 years with a 5-year OS of 75.6%. 5-year OS was significantly worse for PTCL-NOS as compared to AITL/PTCL-TFH or NKTCL (62.5% vs 79.2% and 78.5%, respectively; log-rank p=0.0225). Age at diagnosis, disease stage and IPI risk groups were significantly prognostic, but not ethnic groups and sex.
Conclusions
Through this analysis we identified unique demographic and survival patterns in T and NK-cell lymphoma within our local population.
