Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is curable for most children and adolescent and young adult patients with contemporary frontline chemotherapy regimens. During the past decade, improved survival rates have resulted from the optimization of frontline chemotherapy regimens, the use of minimal residual disease (MRD) assessment for evaluating a patient’s risk for relapse, and the intensification of treatment based on the persistence of MRD. Optimization of initial therapy is critical because relapsed T-ALL after initial intensive chemotherapy is incurable for most adult patients. Current T-ALL salvage chemotherapy regimens are minimally effective, and unlike in B-cell ALL, there are no approved antibody therapies or chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies for relapsed disease. Immunotherapy and small-molecule inhibitors are beginning to be tested in relapsed T-ALL and have the potential to advance the treatment. Until effective salvage strategies are discovered, however, intensive frontline therapy is required for cure. In this article I review the current frontline chemotherapy regimens for adult patients with T-ALL, summarize the novel targeted and immune therapeutics currently in early-phase clinical trials, and outline how these therapies are helping to define an optimal approach for T-ALL.
