FH, follicular helper; NOS, not otherwise specified; M, male; ECOG PS, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status; IPI, international prognostic indices; among the peripheral T-cell lymphomas with a follicular helper phenotype, 4 were angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphomas and 2 were FH TCL NOS. The subcutaneous panniculitis like T-cell lymphoma did not respond to methotrexate before enrollment.
Only the 2 ALCLs had >10% expression.
Epstein-Barr virus association or positivity was defined as any EBER positivity or elevated viral load measured using polymerase chain reaction.
