T-cell lymphoma is a relatively rare and complex type of malignant hematologic tumor that generally cannot be completely cured, but appropriate treatment can help delay survival.

T-cell lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and is highly malignant. Patients with early-stage T-cell lymphoma can achieve better prognostic outcomes and improved survival rates through active treatment approaches such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted drug therapy. However, for patients with advanced-stage T-cell lymphoma, the tumor has often already spread systemically and caused extensive tissue damage, making curative treatment difficult and therapeutic outcomes frequently unsatisfactory.

Once diagnosed, patients should actively cooperate with treatment under the guidance of a physician.
