Clinical outcome of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the treatment of 9 myeloid leukemia patients with granulocytic sarcoma / 中华内科杂志

ABSTRACT

To explore the efficacy and influencing factors of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with myeloid leukemia and granulocytic sarcoma (GS).Clinical outcome including hematopoietic reconstitution,transplant-related complications,survival and relapse were collected and retrospectively analyzed in 9 patients with myeloid leukemia and GS after allo-HSCT.Hematopoiesis reconstitution was achieved in all the 9 recipients.Four cases developed acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD),and 1 with chronic GVHD.The median follow-up time after transplantation was 10(4-81) months.Only 2 cases survived,the other 7 died of relapse.The median time of relapse after transplantation was 5(3-19) months.Allo-HSCT is relatively effective treatment for patients with myeloid leukemia and GS.Relapse after transplantation remains the major factor of mortality.
