A lower ALC/AMC ratio is associated with poor prognosis of peripheral T-cell lymphoma-not otherwise specified

Peripheral T cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are broadly heterogeneous diseases; however, their prognosis is poorer than B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) [1,2]. The prognoses of PTCLs differ according to disease subtype. PTCLs have been classified according to clinical features into four groups using the 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) classification system. These four groups are as follows: peripheral T-cell lymphoma-not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), angioimmunoblastic T - cell lymphoma (AITL), adult T - cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) [3].
