PURPOSE: This study evaluated the results of high-dose therapy followed by
autologous bone marrow or peripheral-blood stem-cell transplantation for
patients with follicular low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. PATIENTS AND
METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of 100 patients undergoing
autologous transplantation for follicular low-grade lymphoma between April
22, 1983 and December 31, 1993. RESULTS: Sixty-seven patients remained
alive and 48 were failure-free. The median follow-up duration of surviving
patients was 2.6 years (range, 1.0 to 11.7). There were eight (8%) deaths
within 100 days of transplantation. Six additional patients died of
nonrelapse causes up to 912 days after transplantation. Overall survival at
4 years was estimated to be 65% (95% confidence interval [CI], 54% to 75%)
and failure-free survival was estimated to be 44% (95% CI, 33% to 55%).
There was no definite evidence of a plateau in the failure-free survival
curve. The only factor significantly associated with overall survival and
failure-free survival was the number of chemotherapy regimen received
before transplantation. No significant differences in outcome were observed
between patients with follicular small cleaved-cell lymphoma and follicular
mixed lymphoma, or between patients who received peripheral- blood
stem-cell transplants and unpurged autologous bone marrow transplants.
CONCLUSION: Prolonged failure-free survival is possible following high-dose
therapy and autologous hematopoietic rescue for follicular low-grade
lymphoma. It is unclear whether patients are cured with this therapy or if
survival is prolonged.
