Summary recommendations for de novo T-ALL and T-LL

Recommendations
1. Offer an open clinical trial if available 
2. Dexamethasone-based induction 
3. Early intensified therapy including a 4-drug induction with anthracycline and multiagent augmented consolidation, including cyclophosphamide 
4. Patients with ETP ALL should be treated the same as their non-ETP counterparts 
5. Risk stratification in T-ALL primarily based on bone marrow MRD; risk stratification in T-LL primarily based on radiographic response 
6. Only consider CRT in patients with overt CNS disease (CNS3) at diagnosis 
7. If available, consider including nelarabine in the treatment of all patients with T-ALL and T-LL 
8. HDMTX is not needed for T-ALL, if CMTX and nelarabine are included in the backbone 
9. Consider HSCT for patients with persistent disease after 3 mo of intensive therapy
