Abstract:NK/T cell lymphoma is a kind of extranodal Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) -related malignant tumor, which is characterized by local tumor necrosis, vascular injury and destruction, cytotoxic phenotype and EBV infection. NK/T cell lymphoma is more common in Asia and South America than other place and accounts for 5% to 10% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, with less than 20% of 5-year overall survival rate (OS), as well as poor in response to chemotherapy and prone to recurrence. It is urgent to search for new treatment methods. By rebuilding the immune system, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) owns a particularly advantage in treating NK/T cell lymphoma, meanwhile, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) even has a graft anti-tumor (GVL) effect to defeat tumor cells. With the accumulation in both basic and clinical research, HSCT has made certain progress in the treatment of NK/T cell lymphoma. This review provides a brief overview of HSCT and its perioperative management in NK/T cell lymphoma, highlights recent advances and discusses future challenges.
