This study examined the CNS involvement in patients with ATLL treated at a tertiary hospital in New York City.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>CNS involvement was defined by positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology, flow cytometry, positive CNS imaging, or neurological examination findings.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Among 94 patients with NA-ATLL, 21 (22.3%) had CNS involvement. CSF was involved in 13 patients at diagnosis and five at relapse. Magnetic resonance imaging detected brain and spinal involvement in 24% and 14% of the patients, respectively. Results of neurological examinations were abnormal in 33% and 14% of the patients at diagnosis and relapse, respectively. The <i>XPO1</i> <i>E571K</i> mutation was found in two patients with extensive, treatment-refractory CNS disease, with a median overall survival (OS) of 2 months. Other mutations, including <i>KLF2</i> and <i>PI3KCD</i>, were noted in two patients. The median OS was 8.5 months, and the median relapse-free survival (RFS) was 6.5 months in our series. In most cases (5/21), the lymphomatous phenotype appeared to have a direct mass-like extension, whereas in patients with predominant blood involvement tended to spread to the CSF by traversing the blood-brain barrier.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>In this report, we describe the patterns of CNS involvement in ATLL and their association with mutations. We also describe two rapidly fatal cases with the <i>XPO1 E571K</i> mutation, which may represent a novel therapeutic target for T-cell lymphomas.</p>","PeriodicalId":14797,"journal":{"name":"JCO precision oncology","volume":"9 ","pages":"e2300526"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12309975/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144715076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
