HERNANDEZ CRUZ, Calixto et al. Prognostic factors for autologous transplantation in patients with Hodgkin Lymphoma. Rev cubana med [online]. 2021, vol.60, n.3 Epub 15-Set-2021. ISSN 1561-302X.
Introduction:
Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a therapy used in certain situations to patients with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
Objective:
To evaluate the influence of selected prognostic factors on the results of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
Methods:
A retrospective study of 57 patients with a diagnosis of Hodgkin Lymphoma transplanted at Hermanos Ameijeiras Clinical Surgical Hospital from 1991 to 2018 was carried out. The influence of several unfavorable factors was evaluated according to univariate and multivariate disease-free survival at five years.
Results:
A lower disease-free survival was found for all groups with unfavorable categories. Univariate analysis indicated that receiving three or more previous lines of treatment increased the probability of relapse on average 3.48 times. In the multiple evaluation, the probability of relapse was significantly increased by the existence of active disease at the time of transplantation (p = 0.023) and by not receiving radiotherapy in the conditioning treatment (p = 0.010).
Conclusions:
The importance of knowing the unfavorable factors was established. It was of noteworthy importance to avoid active disease at transplantation and to carry out a correct evaluation of risks and benefits regarding the possible inclusion of radiotherapy in the conditioning treatment.
