The Organization (2016) also termed a third type of intestinal T cell lymphoma that could not be classified as ATL or MEITL as intestinal T cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified. [6] MEITL is a highly aggressive GI tract lymphoma [7] which typically has had very short survival times following its diagnosis. [2]
The disease has a five-year overall survival rate of only ~20%. [8] However, recent studies focusing on the malignant IEL in EATL have increased understanding of the disease and suggested newer chemotherapy-based strategies and novel molecular targets that might be attacked therapeutically to improve the disease's prognosis.

The five-year survival rate in the United States for all Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes is 85%, [4] while that for non-Hodgkin lymphomas is 69%. [15] Worldwide, lymphomas developed in 566,000 people in 2012 and caused 305,000 deaths. [16] They make up 3–4% of all cancers, making them as a group the seventh-most-common form.
In the United States during 2013–2017, the age-adjusted mortality rate for all types of cancer was 189.5/100,000 for males, and 135.7/100,000 for females. [1] Below is an incomplete list of age-adjusted mortality rates for different types of cancer in the United States from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program.
These earlier used chemotherapy regimens (e.g. the CHOP regimen consisting of three chemotherapy drugs (cyclophosphamide, hydroxydoxorubicin, and oncovin) plus a glucocorticoid, either prednisone or prednisolone) [7] achieve complete response rates of 48% to 85%, 3-year overall survival rates of 50% to 64%, and 5-year overall survival rates of ...
Duodenal-type follicular lymphoma (DFL) is a form of lymphoma in which certain lymphocyte types, the B-cell-derived centrocytes and centroblasts, form lymph node follicle-like structures principally in the duodenum and other parts of the small intestine. It is an indolent disease which on rare occasions progresses to a more aggressive lymphoma ...
Outcomes are often poor, with a less than 10% five-year survival rate in the Western world for advanced cases. [6] This is largely because most people with the condition present with advanced disease. [6] In the United States, five-year survival is 31.5%, [7] while in South Korea it is over 65% and Japan over 70%, partly due to screening ...
In 2015, about 4.3 million people had non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and 231,400 (5.4%) died. [4] [5] In the United States, 2.1% of people are affected at some point in their life. [2] The most common age of diagnosis is between 65 and 75 years old. [2] The five-year survival rate in the United States is 71%. [2]
