To analyze the clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of adult patients with early T-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (ETP-ALL/LBL).Clinical data of 113 T lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (T-ALL/LBL) patients from January 2006 to January 2019 were collected from three hematology research centers, including Peking University Third Hospital, the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital and Institute of Hematology and Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Medical University. The clinical characteristics and prognosis of ETP-ALL/LBL patients were analyzed compared with non-ETP-ALL/LBL patients.In 113 T-ALL/LBL patients, 13 cases (11.5%) were diagnosed as ETP-ALL/LBL, including 11 males, with a median age of 28(18-53) years. Compared with non-ETP-ALL/LBL patients, there were no significant differences in age, sex, incidence of large mediastinal mass, clinical stage, international prognostic index (IPI) score, white blood cell (WBC) count and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level among ETP-ALL/LBL patients. Among 13 ETP-ALL/LBL patients, 9 cases (69.2%) achieved complete remission (CR), and there was no statistically significant difference in response rate induced by chemotherapy between ETP-ALL/LBL patients and non-ETP-ALL/LBL patients. Among patients who received chemotherapy without allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), ETP-ALL/LBL group had a worse 5-year overall survival (OS) rate compared with non-ETP-ALL/LBL group (0 vs 7.1%, P =0.008), while in patients with allo-HSCT, there was no significant difference for 5-year OS rate between the two group (37.5% vs 40.2%, P >0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that CR after induction therapy, allo-HSCT, and LDH level were independent prognostic factors affecting T-ALL/LBL patients.No significant difference in response rate induced by chemotherapy is observed between ETP-ALL/LBL and non-ETP-ALL/LBL patients. Allo-HSCT consolidation after induction of remission therapy may have significant favorable influence on OS for patients with ETP-ALL/LBL.
