Conditional Long-Term Survival after Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: Autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) is standard therapy for patients with chemosensitive, relapsed, diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We performed a retrospective cohort study to delineate subsequent (conditional) and relative survival in 371 adult patients with DLBCL who underwent AHCT between 2000 and 2014 and had survived for 1, 2, 3, or 5 years after transplant. The probability of overall survival at 10 years after AHCT was 62%, 71%, 77%, and 86%, respectively, for the 4 cohorts, whereas that of progression-free survival (PFS) was 55%, 65%, 72%, and 81%, respectively. The respective cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) at 10 years after transplantation was 13%, 12%, 11%, and 8%, respectively. In multivariable analysis, older age was associated with g
