ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate clinical and tumor characteristics in patients receiving high-dose chemotherapy and autologous peripheral stem-cell transplantation (PSCT) or bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) for relapsed or primary refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
One hundred fifty-eight patients with NHL received high-dose chemotherapy and ABMT or PSCT. A multivariate analysis of characteristics was performed for comparison of the long-term failure-free survival (FFS) rate.RESULTS:
Using a multivariate analysis, a prognostic model was constructed with patients in the good-prognosis group being those without a mass > or = 10 cm at the time of transplant, and no more than one of the following characteristics three or more prior chemotherapy regimens, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level above normal, and chemotherapy resistance. Patients in the poor-prognosis group had a mass > or = 10 cm, or two of the other characteristics noted. The poor-prognosis group had a 3-year FFS rate of 10%, compared with a 45% 3-year FFS in the good-prognosis group (P < .001). Within the prognostic groups, there was no difference in the 3-year FFS rate of the poor-prognosis patients who received ABMT versus PSCT (10% v 12%; not significant). However, in the good-prognosis group, patients who received ABMT had a 3-year FFS rate of 32%, compared with 70% for those who received PSCT (P < .008).CONCLUSION:
This prognostic model can identify patients with good and poor prognoses following high-dose chemotherapy and ABMT or PSCT for aggressive NHL. In good-prognosis patients, those who received PSCT had a superior FFS rate.
