Nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) is a distinct subtype of Hodgkin lymphoma that is characterized by unique clinical presentation, histological appearance, and indolent disease course. The recurrent nature of disease provides an opportunity to examine the role of stem cell transplantation in its management. We report here a single-center experience of 26 patients with relapsed NLPHL treated with high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation between 1990 and 2008. With a median follow-up of 50 months (range, 2-138 months), the 5-year overall and event-free survival were 76% (SE 10%) and 69% (SE 10%), respectively. Our data suggest that high-dose chemotherapy and autologous transplantation should be considered as an option for patients with relapsed NLPHL.
结节性淋巴细胞为主型霍奇金淋巴瘤(NLPHL)是一种独特的霍奇金淋巴瘤亚型,其特征为独特的临床表现、组织学表现和惰性疾病过程。疾病的复发性为研究其治疗中干细胞移植的作用提供了机会。我们在此报告了 1990 年至 2008 年间,26 例复发性 NLPHL 患者接受大剂量化疗和自体干细胞移植的单中心经验。中位随访时间为 50 个月(范围,2-138 个月),5 年总生存率和无事件生存率分别为 76%(SE 10%)和 69%(SE 10%)。我们的数据表明,对于复发性 NLPHL 患者,大剂量化疗和自体移植应被视为一种选择。
