BIO-ALK-FUSIONNPM1-ALK and other ALK fusionsIIAALK-positive ALCL (typically NPM1-ALK t(2;5)) is generally cured by CHOP-based regimens with brentuximab vedotin (ECHELON-2: BV-CHP). For relapsed/refractory ALK+ ALCL, crizotinib monotherapy achieves high response rates (Gambacorti-Passerini 2014; pediatric COG NCT00939770). ALK-TKIs are an established salvage option but not 1L.brentuximab vedotin + cyclophosphamide/doxorubicin/prednisone (BV-CHP, 1L)

Red flags — PRO / CONTRA aggressive

PRO-AGGRESSIVE

Triggers that push toward the aggressive track
  • T-cell lymphoma with CD30 expression ≥10% by IHC — qualifies for brentuximab vedotin-based regimen (CHP-Bv per ECHELON-2)RF-TCELL-CD30-POSITIVE

CONTRA-AGGRESSIVE

Hard contraindications to escalation
  • Active or latent HBV without antiviral prophylaxis is an absolute contraindication to starting B-cell-depleting / immunomodulatory monoclonal antibody therapy (anti-CD20, anti-CD30 ADC, anti-CD38). Severe HBV reactivation hepatitis risk including fulminant hepatic failure.CI-HBV-NO-PROPHYLAXIS
  • Pre-treatment LVEF <50% is an absolute contraindication to anthracycline-containing regimens (R-CHOP, Pola-R-CHP, ABVD, BV-AVD, etc.). Cardiotoxicity from doxorubicin is dose-cumulative and often irreversible; starting with already-impaired function risks acute decompensation.CI-LVEF-LOW-FOR-ANTHRACYCLINE
  • Severe pre-existing peripheral neuropathy is an absolute contraindication to bortezomib — therapy will likely worsen the neuropathy to a disabling and often permanent extent.CI-BORTEZOMIB-SEVERE-NEUROPATHY

What NOT to do

Explicit prohibitive rules, each grounded in a regimen / supportive care / contraindication entity
Standard plan (IND-TCELL-1L-CHOEP)
  • Do NOT skip CD30 IHC — if ≥10%, route to CHP-Bv (ECHELON-2 evidence).
  • Do NOT skip HBV screening.
  • Do NOT use in age >60 — CHOP without etoposide is more tolerable.
Aggressive plan (IND-TCELL-1L-CHP-BV)
  • Do NOT combine brentuximab with bleomycin — lethal pulmonary toxicity.
  • Do NOT prescribe without CD30 IHC ≥10% confirmation — ECHELON-2 inclusion criterion.
  • Do NOT skip baseline LVEF ≥50% (anthracycline).
  • Do NOT skip HBV screening + entecavir prophylaxis.
  • Do NOT ignore pre-existing neuropathy — Grade ≥2 baseline = absolute CI.

Open questions (3, 1 blocking)

  • BLOCKING OQ-CD20-CONFIRMATION
    Is CD20+ status confirmed by histology (IHC)? Without CD20+, rituximab/obinutuzumab are not indicated.
    Anti-CD20 therapy is the backbone of most lines of treatment; absence of CD20 expression fully changes the regimen.
    → pathologist
  • OQ-STAGING-COMPLETE
    Has complete staging been done (Lugano + PET/CT or CT)?
    Prognosis and track selection depend on stage and tumor burden.
    → radiologist
  • OQ-LDH-CURRENT
    What is the current LDH? Marker of tumor burden and transformation.
    LDH is part of the prognostic indices of indolent lymphomas.
    → hematologist
