Treating peripheral T‑cell lymphoma

Peripheral T‑cell lymphoma is usually treated with chemotherapy first.

If you are well enough you may then be offered high‑dose chemotherapy, which helps to kill any cancer cells left in your body, followed by a stem cell transplant. This is called 'consolidation' treatment.
