NKT Cell Responses to B Cell Lymphoma
Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a unique subset of CD1d-restricted T lymphocytes that express characteristics of both T cells and natural killer cells. NKT cells mediate tumor immune-surveillance; however, NKT cells are numerically reduced and functionally impaired in lymphoma patients. Many hematologic malignancies express CD1d molecules and co-stimulatory proteins needed to induce anti-tumor...

متن کاملExtranodal NK/T Cell Lymphoma with Destruction of the Uvulae: A Case Report
Introduction: Extranodal Natural Killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) nasal type is a rare but well-known disease with poor prognosis. NKTCL is more prevalent in Asia and comprises about 7-10% of all non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases in this region. The characteristic clinical pattern of NKTCL is the destruction of the midline structures of the mid-face. Case Report: The present study examines a case o...

The patient achieved a complete response after 2 cycles of chemot...
متن کاملExtranodal lymphoma: a reappraisal.
Approximately one-third of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) arise primarily from sites other than lymph nodes, spleen or the bone marrow and even from sites which normally contain no native lymphoid tissue [1, 2]. Indeed, extranodal lymphomas can arise in almost every organ [1, 2]. However most of the presentations appears to be clustered in a few sites: skin, stomach, brain, small intestine and—wh...
