Popis: PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of consolidative radiotherapy in patients undergoing high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant for relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). METHODS AND MATERIALS: We reviewed the medical records of 72 consecutive patients who underwent autologous stem cell transplant for relapsed or refractory DLBCL at XXXX from 2006 to 2014. Pre-transplant conditioning consisted of high-dose chemotherapy and total body irradiation. Thirteen patients received post-transplant consolidative radiotherapy at the discretion of the consulted radiation oncologist. RESULTS: Consolidative radiotherapy was associated with a significantly improved 2-year locoregional control (LRC) (92% vs 68%, p=0.04) although there was no difference in either the 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) (69% vs 54%, p=0.25) or overall survival (OS) (85% vs 59%, p=0.44). Analysis of the subgroup of 19 patients who had persistent residual masses ≥2 cm on post-transplant imaging demonstrated a significant improvement in the LRC (100% vs 36%, p
