The T lymphomas belongs to a group of less common diseases that affect the lymphatic system, or rather cells and tissues that are responsible for defending the body against external agents and disease and to ensure proper circulation of fluids in the body.
T Lymphomas are part of the family of Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHL) that can develop into different organs (lymph nodes, but also the stomach, intestine, skin and central nervous system) from T lymphocytes.
They include peripheral T lymphomas, cutaneous lymphomas (Lymphomas Cutaneous treated by the Commission), anaplastic large cell lymphoma and lymphoblastic lymphoma.
The goals of this T Lymphomas Commission are:
- Approve proposed retrospective studies in T lymphomas diseases (rare diseases);
- Approve the proposals for prospective clinical trials for patients with T lymphoma at diagnosis or with disease relapse;
- Collaborate with Pathologists and Biological Studies Commissions to improve biological knowledge of the disease through the biobanking.
