Cancer Category / Type

Mature T- and NK-cell neoplasms

Cancer Sub-Classification / Subtype

Aggressive NK-cell Leukaemia

Definition / Description of Disease

  • Proliferation of NK-cells
  • Associated with EBV infection, but EBV may be negative in a subset of patients
  • Aggressive clinical course with poor response to chemotherapy
  • Relapse common in patients that achieve complete remission (+/- bone marrow transplantation)

Synonyms / Terminology

Aggressive NK-cell leukaemia/lymphoma

Epidemiology / Prevalence

  • Young to middle-aged adults
  • Median age: 40 years; Peaks in 3rd and 5th decades
  • More prevalent in Asian, Central and South America[1]
  • No gender predilection
  • EBV-negative cases tend to occur in older patients, with no significant difference in Asian vs. non-Asian populations[2]
  • Median survival: <2 months

Due to rare nature of disease, cytogenetics data is limited. However, common abnormalities include del(6)(q21q25) and del(11q).

Complex karyotypes with unbalanced rearrangements are frequently seen.

editv4:Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)
The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.


Gene Oncogene/Tumor Suppressor/Other Presumed Mechanism (LOF/GOF/Other; Driver/Passenger) Prevalence [2]
JAK/STAT/c-MYC pathway (including STAT3, STAT5B, STAT5A, JAK2, JAK3, STAT6, SOCS31, SOCS3 and PTPN11) Oncogene Gain of function 21 - 66.6%
RAS/MAPK pathway Oncogene Gain of function 16.7 - 29%
TP53 Tumor suppressor Loss of function 7 -50%
BCL2 Oncogene Gain of function N/A

JAK/STAT/c-MYC

  • Mutations in the JAK-STAT pathway appear to be mutually exclusive[7]
  • Most STAT3 and STAT5B mutations localized to exons 20 and 21 encoding the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain, which causes STAT dimerization
  • Other mutations identified:
    • 9p copy gains (containing JAK2)
    • point mutation in protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPRK) (tumor suppressor that negatively regulates STAT3)
    • mutations in PTPN4 and PTPN23

editv4:Genes and Main Pathways Involved
The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.


  • Upregulated JAK/STAT-MYC biosynthesis axis due to upstream STAT3 activation of the MYC transcription program. *
  • Alterations in RAS-MAPK pathway also identified
  • Epigenetic modifier genes (e.g BCOR, KMT2D/MLL2, SETD2, PRDM9, CREBBP, and TET2)
  • DNA damage repair (TP53, ASXL1, ASXL2, BRINP3)
  • mRNA splicing factors (PRPF40B)


*Thought in some cases to be as a result of highly expressed EBV-encoded small RNAs (EBERs) causing release of IL-10.
