We report on 27 patients with Down syndrome (DS) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who received allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) between 2000 and 2009. Seventy-eight percent of patients received myeloablative conditioning and 52% underwent transplantation in second remission. Disease-free survival (DFS) was 24% at a median of 3 years. Post-transplant leukemic relapse was more frequent than expected for children with DS-ALL (54%) than for non-DS ALL. These data suggest leukemic relapse rather than transplant toxicity is the most important cause of treatment failure. Advancements in leukemia control are especially needed for improvement in HCT outcomes for DS-ALL.
我们报告了 27 例唐氏综合征(DS)合并急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)患者,他们在 2000 年至 2009 年间接受了异基因造血细胞移植(HCT)。78%的患者接受了清髓性预处理,52%的患者在第二次缓解期进行了移植。中位随访 3 年后,无病生存率(DFS)为 24%。移植后白血病复发的频率高于预期,DS-ALL 患者(54%)高于非-DS ALL 患者。这些数据表明,白血病复发而不是移植毒性是治疗失败的最重要原因。白血病控制的进展对于改善 DS-ALL 的 HCT 结果尤为重要。
