| Popis: | The prognosis of patients with refractory/relapsed acute myelogenous leukemia (rAML) is poor. Recent studies have shown that more transplant centers are choosing allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (allo-PBSCT) for recipients, even with a higher leukemia burden. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the outcome of rAML patients undergoing allo-PBSCT and to determine whether the disease status can predict the post-transplantation survival. The outcome of 58 patients (median age, 34 years; range, 14 to 52) with rAML who underwent allo-PBSCT in our institution from January 2000 until September 2011 was retrospectively studied. Thirty-three patients had complete remission (CR) before PBSCT, whereas 25 patients had no remission. Donors were matched related (31 patients) and unrelated (27 patients). Reduced-intensity conditioning was used for 18 patients with rAML, and myeloablative conditioning was used for others. Sixty-six consecutive non-rAML patients (median age, 33 years; range, 15 to 51) who received an allo-PBSCT at the same period were used as a control. Full donor-type engraftment was achieved in all patients. After a median follow-up of 61 months, the 5-year overall survival of rAML patients was 54.21% ± 7.06%, which was lower than non-rAML patients (71.82% ± 6.4%, P = .0386). However, the 5-year event-free survival for rAML and non-rAML patients had no statistical significance (53.54% ± 6.87% versus 62.07% ± 6.78%, P = .2626). The 5-year overall survival between rAML patients who had CR and no remission before PBSCT was 56.06% ± 9.2% and 51.85% ± 10.83%, respectively (P = .6408). These data demonstrate that allo-PBSCT is a promising and safe choice for the treatment of rAML, and the results were partially due to the rapid tapering of immunosuppressants in the early stage after PBSCT and prophylactic donor lymphocyte infusion. Meanwhile, the patients who did not achieve CR before PBSCT could also benefit from allo-PBSCT. |
