Red flags — PRO / CONTRA aggressive

PRO-AGGRESSIVE

Triggers that push toward the aggressive track
  • Shimoyama acute or lymphoma subtype (LDH >2×ULN, BUN >ULN, albumin <ULN — any one) — aggressive variant; AZT+IFN-α inadequate, requires intensive chemo (mLSG-15) ± alloSCT.RF-ATLL-HIGH-RISK-BIOLOGY
  • Hypercalcemia (Ca >12 mg/dL) at diagnosis — hallmark of aggressive ATLL; requires bisphosphonate/calcitonin urgently and predicts aggressive subtype regardless of WBC.RF-ATLL-ORGAN-DYSFUNCTION

CONTRA-AGGRESSIVE

Hard contraindications to escalation
  • 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

What NOT to do

Explicit prohibitive rules, each grounded in a regimen / supportive care / contraindication entity
Aggressive plan (IND-ATLL-1L-AGGRESSIVE)
  • Do not give AZT+IFN for acute — wasted time, progression.
  • Do not skip mogamulizumab if available — overall survival benefit.
  • Do not give mogamulizumab before planned allo-SCT — pre-existing GVHD risk increased.
  • Do not neglect hypercalcemia treatment — bisphosphonates + hydration mandatory.
  • Do not give vincristine intrathecally — fatal.
  • Do not give full-dose anthracycline if LVEF <50%.
Standard plan (IND-ATLL-1L-INDOLENT-AZT-IFN)
  • Do not give AZT+IFN for acute / lymphoma type — poor response, delays chemo cycle.
  • Do not skip depression screening before IFN — IFN-induced depression is fatal (suicide risk).
  • Do not neglect hypercalcemia treatment — bisphosphonates + hydration.
  • Do not give IFN during pregnancy — teratogenic.
  • Do not skip TSH monitoring — IFN may induce thyroiditis.
