Advanced Pathogenetic Concepts in T-Cell Prolymphocytic Leukemia and Their Translational Impact

T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) is the most common mature T-cell leukemia. It is a typically aggressively growing and chemotherapy-resistant malignancy with a poor prognosis. T-PLL cells resemble activated, post-thymic T-lymphocytes with memory-type effector functions. Constitutive transcript...
