Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The incidence rate of peripheral T cell lymphoma is high in Asia, and peripheral T cell lymphoma is aggressive with generally poor prognosis. However, there is no standard treatment strategy.

 
OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively analyze the therapeutic effect of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation on peripheral T cell lymphoma as well as relevant toxic and side effects.
METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted in 35 patients with peripheral T cell lymphoma who underwent autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from March 2003 to April 2014, including 22 cases of extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (nasal type), 1 case of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, 8 cases of peripheral T cell lymphoma (non-specific), 3 cases of ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma, and 1 case of ALK-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma. All of 35 patients were classified pathologically according to WHO pathological type in 2001 and 2008, and received the high-dose chemotherapy with vincristine, cytarabine, etoposide, mitoxantrone, semustine, cyclophosphamide, and total body irradiation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After a median follow-up of 54 (9-120) months, the probabilities of overall survival and disease-free survival after transplantation were 80% (n=28) and 71% (n=25), respectively. Eight cases (23%) relapsed after transplantation, seven of which died. It was safe with mild and moderate transplantation related side-effects on opportunistic infections, oral cavity mucosa and bladder responses and so on, and there were no severe, life-threatening late complications. Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may be an effective and safe treatment for peripheral T cell lymphoma, and there is a better benefit in peripheral T cell lymphoma patients with first complete remission.
