Non-myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for adults with relapsed and refractory mantle cell lymphoma: a single-center analysis in the rituximab era.

ABSTRACT: Relapsed and refractory (rel/ref) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) portend a dismal prognosis. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) represents the only potentially curative therapy in this setting. We analyzed the survival outcomes of 29 recipients of non-myeloablative allo-HSCT for rel/ref MCL, and studied possible prognostic factors in this setting. The cumulative incidences of disease progression and non-relapse mortality at 3 years were 28% (95% confidence interval (CI): 13-46%) and 29% (95% CI: 13-47%), respectively. The cumulative incidence of grade II-IV acute GvHD at days +100 and +180 was 34% (95% CI: 18-52%) and 45% (95% CI: 26-62%), respectively. With a median follow-up in survivors of 53 (range 24-83) months, the 3-year overall survival (OS) and PFS were 54%
