Abstract
- With the introduction of novel treatments paradigms to if or when to use transplantation strategies for patients with follicular lymphoma have changed substantially. Autologous transplantation has been intensively evaluated as consolidation after first induction treatment with positive effects, however the introduction of Rituximab led to comparable improvements and HDT has been moved to relapse treatment. In this indication HDT was frequently use already at first relapse, but now is dominantly used in patients with a highrisk profile, e.g. failure of response, early or multiply relapse and/or signs of transformation. The ideal place for allogeneic transplantation is even harder to define, as the curative potential might be outweighed by the substantial side effect profile and the indication must always be discussed in the light of available alternatives. In consequence, transplantation strategies remain an important therapeutic instrument for patients with FL, however timing within the treatment course has to be defined individually.
