Autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) for patients with malignant lymphoma has been extensively performed in Japan for several years. Some of the disease states of lymphoma are considered to be a good candidate for auto-PBSCT application. Sensitive relapsers in non Hodgkin's lymphoma should be treated with a combination of salvage therapy and high dose chemo(radio)-therapy with stem cell support, and up-front PBSCT is recommended for poor risk aggressive lymphoma. The clinical results and indications for auto-PBSCT including other types of lymphoma such as lymphoblastic lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, low-grade lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease will be reviewed in this paper. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Combined modality therapy with chemotherapy and radiotherapy has become increasingly popular in the management of solid malignancies. However, unexpected toxicities may arise from their interactions. METHODS AND MATERIALS: We report the case of a young woman with a large mediastinal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who underwent high-dose chemotherapy with autologous bone marrow transplantation and involved field radiotherapy, and who developed radiation myelopathy after a latent period of only 3 months. The spinal cord dose did not exceed 40.3 Gy in 22 fractions over 4.5 weeks, which is well within accepted tolerance limits. She had no other identifiable risk factors for radiation myelopathy, suggesting an adverse drug-radiation interaction as the most likely cause of her injury. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: This represents the first report of radiation myelopathy at accepted safe radiation doses following high-dose chemotherapy with autologous bone marrow transplantation, and we recommend caution in the choice of radiotherapeutic dose in this setting. 相似文献

High dose chemotherapy and stem-cell rescue (bone marrow transplantation) is used increasingly in the treatment of malignant disorder. Numerous trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of bone marrow transplantation in the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, there are many unanswered questions as to the role of high-dose therapy in certain subtypes of lymphoma, the timing of transplant, and even the type of transplant to perform. An attempt will be made to clarify many of these unanswered questions. The utilization of high-dose therapy for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is recommended for most patients who have relapsed after initial therapy. Transplantation in first remission is not recommended routinely. Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation should by reserved for individuals with poorly responding disease or in individuals with bone marrow involvement. The precise roles of purging and transplantation of individuals with low grade lymphoma are being investigated. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of front-line high-dose sequential (HDS) chemotherapy with peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation in patients with newly diagnosed high-risk non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Thirty-two patients with high-risk NHL (defined by the age-adjusted international index) underwent HDS chemotherapy followed by PBSC transplantation and consolidative radiotherapy. Twenty-eight patients (88%) had intermediate/high grade NHL and four patients (12%) had small noncleaved or lymphoblastic lymphoma. Twenty-four patients were classified as high-intermediate-risk (two risk factors) and eight patients were classified as high-risk (three risk factors). The five phases of HDS (see Fig. 1) consisted of Phase I (adriamycin, vincristine, and prednisone); Phase II (cyclophosphamide, filgrastim [G-CSF], and PBSC harvest); Phase III (methotrexate, leucovorin, vincristine; Phase IV (etoposide, filgrastim [G-CSF]); and Phase V (mitoxantrone, melphalan, autologous peripheral blood stem cell infusion, and filgrastim [G-CSF]). Radiation therapy was given to sites of previous bulk disease, 2400 cGy, (D + 30-100)]. Toxicity, engraftment, hospital utilization, overall survival, and relapse-free survival were evaluated. The high-dose sequential chemotherapeutic regimen was well tolerated. Treatment-related mortality was 6.25% with two deaths occurring secondary to sepsis and one death was caused by progressive disease. The major toxicity in Phase I-IV was grade 3 nausea/vomiting. The major toxicity in Phase V was grade 3 or 4 nausea/vomiting and mucositis. The median follow-up is 18.8 months (range 4-44 months). The overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) at 18 months for all patients were 78% (95% CI 37-90%) and 67% (95% CI 46-88%), respectively. The OS at 18 months for all patients, excluding the four patients with either small noncleaved or lymphoblastic lymphoma, was 82% (95% CI 65-98%) vs. 30% (95% CI 0-86%) (p = 0.0059). One patient in this latter group remains alive at 6 months follow-up. The RFS for all patients, excluding the four patients with either small noncleaved or lymphoblastic lymphoma, was 78% (95% CI 58-97%) vs. 0% (95% CI 0-0%) (p = 0.0004). High-dose sequential chemotherapy with initial PBSC transplantation is well tolerated and appears effective in high-risk NHL. Superior results were noted in patients with intermediate grade versus those with small noncleaved or lymphoblastic NHL. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Despite improved detection of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), results of its treatment with conventional therapies remain disappointing and the survival rate poor. The role of high-dose chemotherapy has recently been investigated but no potential benefit has been clearly established. We report here our experience with MCL patients treated with intensive chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Of the 16 MCL patients who received high-dose chemotherapy and ASCT beginning in 1989, six were treated in first-line and 10 in sensitive relapse. Twelve of 16 patients received regimens which included total body irradiation. All patients received peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) with the exception of one, who underwent bone marrow transplantation. RESULTS: Three patients died of toxic effects of treatment, Three months after transplant, seven achieved complete response, (CR) and two partial responses (PR), two were stable and two had progressed. With a median follow-up after transplant of 22 months, five of the six surviving patients were without progression, and three were in CR. The median times for event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were, respectively, 249 and 317 days. The expected three-year EFS and OS were 24%. The median survival after diagnosis was only 29 months. None of the criteria appeared to be significantly associated with a better outcome, but first-line intensification and a short delay after initial diagnosis may be favorable. CONCLUSION: In this study we were not able to confirm the hypothetical benefit of high-dose chemotherapy and PBSC transplantation in mantle cell lymphoma, even though this approach may be promising in a subgroup of patient. 相似文献

The general chemotherapy for Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) featuring an active invasion has less curative effect and worse prognosis in comparison with that for B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Studies in recent years suggest that hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has better curative effect on the PTCL; however, it is significant to do more studies on some aspects such as the methodology, punctuality, preconditioning, and pretreatment intensity of the transplantation, which are crucial to the curative effect. 相似文献

This review highlights the role of chemotherapy for intermediate grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) including immunoblastic large cell lymphoma and low grade NHL. The combined modality treatment (CMT) consisting of chemotherapy including adriamycin (ADM) and involved-field irradiation (IFI) is considered standard therapy for localized intermediate grade NHL since a superior outcome (long-term disease-free survival rate is about 80%) can be obtained by CMT. However, developing dose-intensified regimens in initial chemotherapy will change the role of IFI. The phase II study using second and third generation regimens for advanced intermediate grade NHL showed a better outcome than first generation regimen CHOP. Unfortunately, the recent phase III intergroup trial concluded that none of the second or third generation treatment was superior to CHOP, and this regimen is now considered to be standard chemotherapy. However, the cure rate of the CHOP regimen (about 30%) is not satisfactory, and efforts should be underway to develop promising regimens with significantly increased dose intensity. While radiotherapy such as IFI, extended-field irradiation and total lymph node irradiation for localized low grade NHL obtained a more than 50% disease-free survival rate, the role of chemotherapy remains controversial. To date, many randomized trials of single agent chemotherapy regimen, combination chemotherapies with or without ADM, and CMT have shown no overall survival benefit for advanced low grade NHL, so there is no standard therapy for it. 相似文献

Patients with intermediate or high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are rarely cured of their disease after the failure of conventional therapy. High-dose chemotherapy followed by transplantation of either autologous marrow (ABMT) or peripheral stem cells (PBSCT) offers such patients a new possibility of cure. To patients younger than 60 years and without contraindications high-dose chemotherapy should be offered in case of relapse and bad prognosis. The PARMA-study demonstrated, that high-dose chemotherapy with subsequent autologous stem cell transplants is superior to conventional chemotherapy for relapsing patients. However high-dose chemotherapy in first complete or partial remission followed by ABMT and PBSCT as post-remission therapy for adult NHL has yielded only similar results randomized to those achieved with conventional chemotherapy in several prospectively studies. This approach should be limited to patients with bad prognostic factors (high-intermediate or high-risk groups according to the International Prognostic Factor Project). The success of ABMT and PBSCT in treating these diseases mandates exploration of the best high-dose chemotherapy, the use of autologous or allogenic bone marrow resp. peripheral stem cell for haematopoietic reconstitution and technical aspects such as purging of tumor cells, the short- and long-term transplant-related mortality continues to be a major concern. 相似文献

Long-term follow-up (two to five years) of 12 unilateral chemical burn patients treated by conjunctival transplantation shows permanent stabilization of the ocular surface. The procedure was used in another group of five patients with unilateral recalcitrant epithelial defects. Regardless of the etiology of the epithelial defect, prompt healing of the surface occurs after conjunctival transplantation with no further stromal loss and long-term stabilization of the surface. Such results suggest that epithelial replacement may be a valuable therapeutic approach to a variety of ocular surface disorders. 相似文献

Heart transplantation may have a considerable impact on the fate of the patient in the end stage of heart failure. A successful procedure requires the existence of a sophisticated programme combining the expertise of top departments of cardiology and cardiac surgery working in conjunction with the transplant centre directly responsible for removing the organ. One of the factors playing an important role in a favourable outcome is the correct indication for the procedure. The information on patient selection and criteria for the heart donor, presented in this paper, become increasingly important even for the practitioner in cardiology referring their patients to specialized departments. The paper also offers background information on the heart transplant programme in the Czech Republic suggesting the need for expanding the availability of the therapeutic method in this country. 相似文献

Crohn's disease usually runs a chronic relapsing and remitting course, characterized by a repeated need for immunosuppressive drug therapy or often surgery. and is considered to be incurable by standard treatment. We report a case of successful long-term disease control of Crohn's disease following autologous bone marrow transplantation. This case provides further support for the concept that some forms of severe immune-mediated diseases may be amenable to treatment by high-dose therapy with autologous stem cell support. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To determine the incidence, natural history, and risk factors associated with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) occurring as a late complication following autologous bone marrow transplantation for patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of all 262 patients who underwent autologous bone marrow transplantation for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute from 1982 through 1991. Although patients received a variety of treatments before they were eligible for transplant, identical myeloablative therapy (cyclophosphamide 60 mg/kg/d for 2 days plus total-body irradiation twice daily for 3 days) was administered in each case. By collecting data on pretransplant and early posttransplant variables, we attempted to identify risk factors for the development of MDS. RESULTS: The crude overall incidence of posttransplant MDS or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) was 7.6%. The actuarial risk at 6 years was 18% +/- 9%. The median time of onset was 31 months (range, 10 to 101) after transplant or 69 months (range, 27 to 141) after initial treatment for lymphoma. Pretreatment variables predictive for the development of MDS (univariate analysis) included prolonged interval between initial treatment and the transplant procedure (P = .003), increased duration of exposure to chemotherapy (P = .019) or to alkylating agents (P = .045), and use of radiation therapy (P = .032) or pelvic radiation (P = .003) before transplant. CONCLUSION: MDS is a potential complication of autologous bone marrow transplantation for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; bone marrow stem-cell damage sustained before the transplant may be the most important risk factor. 相似文献

Infantile osteopetrosis is a lethal disorder resulting from a severe defect in the ability of osteoclasts to resorb bone. The only therapy shown to be capable of providing lasting benefit is allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). We report the outcome of 10 patients with infantile malignant osteopetrosis treated with HCT from an HLA A, B, DRB1 matched (n=6) or A or B locus mismatched (n=4) family member or unrelated donor at the University of Minnesota between 1978 and 1997. Eight of 10 patients achieved primary engraftment; secondary graft failure was seen in two patients. Five of 10 patients survive; three with full or partial donor chimerism and two with autologous hematological recovery. Transient or partial donor chimerism can be sufficient to correct the hematological manifestations of osteopetrosis. We recommend early referral for consideration of HCT with a related or unrelated donor as neurosensory manifestations of osteopetrosis are generally not reversible. Donor engraftment may be easier to achieve early in the course of the disease. 相似文献

Ethanol is added to unleaded gasoline as an oxygenate to decrease carbon monoxide automobile emissions. This introduces inhalation as a new possible route of environmental exposure to humans. Knowledge of the pharmacokinetics of inhaled ethanol is critical for adequately assessing the dosimetry of this chemical in humans. The purpose of this study was to characterize the pharmacokinetics of inhaled ethanol in male and female B6C3F1 mice and F344 rats and to develop a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for inhaled ethanol in mice, rats, and humans. During exposure to 600 ppm for 6 hr, steady-state blood ethanol concentrations (BEC) were reached within 30 min in rats and within 5 min in mice. Maximum BEC ranged from 71 microM in rats to 105 microM in mice. Exposure to 200 ppm ethanol for 30 min resulted in peak BEC of approximately 25 microM in mice and approximately 15 microM in rats. Peak BEC of about 10 microM were measured following exposure to 50 ppm in female rats and male and female mice, while blood ethanol was undetectable in male rats. No sex-dependent differences in peak BEC at any exposure level were observed. Species-dependent differences were found following exposure to 200 and 600 ppm. A blood flow limited PBPK model for ethanol inhalation was developed in mice, rats, and humans which accounted for a fractional absorption of ethanol. Compartments for the model included the pulmonary blood and air, brain, liver, fat, and rapidly perfused and slowly perfused tissues. The PBPK model accurately simulated BEC in rats and mice at all exposure levels, as well as BEC reported in human males in previously published studies. Simulated peak BEC in human males following exposure to 50 and 600 ppm ranged from 7 to 23 microM and 86 and 293 microM, respectively. These results illustrate that inhalation of ethanol at or above the concentrations expected to occur upon refueling results in minimal BEC and are unlikely to result in toxicity. 相似文献

We summarize in this article the antitumor activity of newly developed drugs against non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The Taxans (paclitaxel and docetaxel), complex polycyclic organic chemicals isolated from the yew tree, have a broad antitumor spectrum with impressive activity in solid tumors. In the SWOG Phase II study on relapsed non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, paclitaxel (Taxol), showed 30% CR and 14% PR. In the CALGB study on docetaxel, a 14.5% response rate (12.5% for low-grade lymphoma and 16.1% for intermediate-high grade lymphoma) was found. In the Japanese phase II study of docetaxel, the response rate was 29.4% for all patients (14.3% for low-grade lymphoma and 40.0% for intermediate-high grade lymphoma). Rituximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody directed against the B-cell specific antigen CD20. A phase II trial was conducted with four weekly infusions of 375 mg/m2 in patients with relapsed low-grade or follicular lymphoma. The response rate was 46%. A clinical trial combining Rituximab with 6 cycles of CHOP chemotherapy in newly diagnosed patients has recently been completed. Early evaluation of this experience suggests that this combination resulted in a PR or CR in all patients. New purine nucleoside analogs (fludarabine, cladribine, pentostatin) are active against common and generally incurable low-grade lymphoproliferative disorders. These new drugs combined with other chemotherapeutic reagents are expected to overcome refractory or incurable non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. 相似文献
