Abstract
- Objective: Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo‐SCT) may have a curative potential due to the graft versus lymphoma effect. In this study, we aimed to compare transplant outcomes between refractory‐T‐NHL (ref‐NHL) and Chemosensitive‐T‐NHL (CS‐T‐NHL). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 26 ref‐NHL and 29 CS‐T‐NHL consecutive patients who underwent allo‐SCT at our center and compared the transplant outcomes between the groups. Results: All patients were heavily pretreated with 27% of patients relapsing post‐auto‐SCT and two patients in the ref‐T‐NHL post‐allo‐SCT. Patients were transplanted mainly from unrelated donors. There were no differences in leucocytes and platelet engraftment between the two groups. At 3 years, the relapse incidence was 34% in Ref‐TNHL and 19% in CS‐TNHL (p =.33), with non‐relapse mortality rates of 28% and 22%, respectively (p =.52). Female patients and those with a previous auto‐SCT had lower relapse incidence (p =.045, p =.003). The 3‐year overall survival was 39% in Ref‐TNHL and 56% in CS‐TNHL (p =.15). Trends for improved progression‐free survival (PFS) and graft‐versus‐host disease relapse‐free survival (GRFS) were observed in the CS‐TNHL group (PFS: 60% vs. 30%, p =.075; GRFS: 38% vs. 21%, p =.1). Conclusion: Acknowledging the retrospective nature of our study, our results indicate that allo‐SCT has a curative potential in patients with T‐NHL even in refractory status. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
