In the nearest ten years, many new agents have been used in the treatment of extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, in which the most promising one is asparaginase. Asparaginase-containing regiment has demonstrated about 50% responses rates and 5-year overall survival of 65% in relapsed or refractory disease. The impressive outcome indicates its value in the newly diagnosed patients, especially in the disseminated cases. Pegaspargase as a new form of asparaginase displays equivalent bioactivity as L- asparaginase with longer half-time and lower incidence of allergy. Its clinical efficacy has been verified in the patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia.
