Description

Katsuya et al reported a prognostic index for patients with chronic or smoldering Adult T-cell leukemia/lymohoma. This can help to identify a patient who may benefit from more aggressive management. The authors are from multiple institutions in Japan.


Patient selection: chronic or smoldering adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma

 

Parameter:

(1) soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) in U/mL
