Overview
Common complications of enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma include ulcer, obstruction, and perforation of small intestine.[1]
Natural History[1]
- Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma is associated with celiac disease (sprue)
- People with celiac disease cannot tolerate gluten, a protein found in many grains, such as wheat, rye and barley (gluten sensitivity)
- A gluten-free diet helps prevent enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma from developing, so this type of lymphoma does not commonly occur in people diagnosed with celiac disease at a young age
- Most adults are diagnosed with celiac disease at the same time as their lymphoma or shortly before their lymphoma is diagnosed
Complications
- Common complications of enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma include:[1]
- Ulcer in small intestine
- Obstruction of small intestine
- Perforation of small intestine
Prognosis
- EATL is usually a fast-growing (aggressive) lymphoma. The prognosis for people with EATL is often not very good.[1]
- Recurrences most frequent in the small intestine[2]
- According to the Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma Project, median overall survival is ten months, while median failure-free survival is only six months
- The peripheral index for T-cell lymphoma is useful in defining prognosis for enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma
- Among the most influential prognostic factors is bulky disease, defined by a tumor mass greater than 5 cm[3]
- Autologous stem cell transplantation is feasible for selected patients with enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma and can yield durable disease control in a significant proportion of these patients
- One study found a trend for better survival in patients transplanted in first complete or partial remission at four years (66% vs. 36%; P = .062)[4]
