Non-Hodgkin lymphomas are among the most prevalent hematologic malignancies. Although the addition of rituximab (R) to chemotherapy has made a big impact in the treatment of B cell lymphomas, most of them are not cured yet. The panorama in natural killer/T cell lymphomas is more unsatisfactory, thus representing a group of diseases where effective therapies constitute an urgent medical need. In recent years, several new antineoplastic agents have been tested in clinical trials showing promising results. The aim of this review is to update information of these studies that are already changing the scenario of the treatment of patients with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
