T-Cell Lymphomas International Scientific Workshop

May 21-23, 2025
Brooklyn Bridge Marriott
Chaired By: Steven M. Horwitz, MD, Ann S. LaCasce, MD, and Kerry Savage, MD

T-cell lymphomas comprise less than 10% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas and consist of several uncommon diseases that can be indolent or aggressive. Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is considered indolent, whereas peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) are considered aggressive. Unfortunately, advances in the understanding and treatment of T-cell lymphomas have not kept pace with advancements made for B-cell lymphomas. The challenges posed by the rarity of T-cell lymphomas are compounded by the small number of scientists and clinicians pursuing the study of these lymphoma subtypes and the scarcity of funds available for related clinical trials.

In partnership with the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation, the Lymphoma Research Foundation will host the T-cell Lymphomas International Scientific Workshop in May 2025. The workshop will convene the world’s leading T-cell lymphoma experts to discuss the latest research findings, plan future studies, foster collaboration within the research community, and create a research agenda, which in turn could prioritize T-cell lymphoma research and improve outcomes.
