We have treated 28 patients (pts) with malignant hematological diseases with allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). 18 pts had acute lymphoblastic (ALL) and non lymphoblastic leukemia (ANLL), 5 chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), 2 severe aplastic anemia (SAA), 1 myelodisplasia, 1 Fanconi's anemia and 1 advanced Non Hodgkin's lymphoma. All but three received the graft from HLA identical sibling donors. We used conditioning with total body irradiation and chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, cytarabine and etoposide) in 17 pts and chemotherapy alone in 11. 24 pts had full hematological recovery 18 to 25 days post BMT. 15 pts died after BMT as a consequence of toxicity or early infection (4), graft failure (2), graft versus host disease (4) or relapse (5). Actuarial event free survival for the group with favorable prognosis (SAA, ALL and ANLL in first or second remission and CML in chronic phase) is 57% at 36 months. Allogeneic BMT is an effective and feasible therapeutic procedure for selected patients with hematological malignancies. 相似文献

The recovery of colony-forming cell numbers after curative treatment for leukemia and severe aplastic anemia (SAA) was studied. We examined 191 patients (85 acute myeloid leukemia [AML], 48 acute lymphocytic leukemia [ALL], 32 chronic myeloid leukemia [CML], 17 SAA, and nine myelodysplastic syndrome [MDS]) who were in hematologic remission 6 months to 13 years after either curative chemotherapy (n = 69) or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) (n = 122) by culturing their precursor cells from bone marrow (BM) (n = 548) and peripheral blood (PB) (n = 529) in methylcellulose. Thirty-six BM donors and 25 PB donors served as controls. BM colony-forming cell numbers were abnormally low in all patients (p < 0.002) irrespective of underlying disorder and type of treatment (chemotherapy or irradiation). These numbers did not normalize with time--colony-forming cells were still strongly reduced up to 10 years after therapy, whether or not the patient had received an allogeneic bone marrow graft (p < 0.002). We also compared patients who remained in stable hematologic remission with those who later relapsed (6 months to 2 years after treatment). BM colony-forming cell numbers were significantly lower in patients who subsequently relapsed (p = 0.004). In contrast to BM cultures, we found normal colony-forming capacity by PB precursors in all patients. We conclude that (1) after chemotherapy or BMT, colony-forming cell numbers of BM in culture are permanently reduced; (2) this defect is probably due to a dysfunction of the BM environment rather than to a numerical reduction of the precursor cell pool; and (3) very low colony-forming capacity may be related to relapse. 相似文献

Donor leukocyte infusions (DLI) are an effective therapy for patients who relapse with leukemia after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Severe graft-versus-host disease and prolonged periods of pancytopenia compromise the success of this treatment in a substantial number of patients. We used filgrastim-mobilized peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs), in some cases preceded by cytoreductive therapy, to circumvent some of the problems associated with DLI. Eleven patients (median age 41 years) received a total of 20 donor cell infusions. Their diagnosis was CML in hematological (two patients) or cytogenetic relapse (two patients), six patients suffered from acute myeloid leukemia (AM; n = 5) or Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL Ph+). One patient had multiple myeloma (MM). All six patients with acute leukemias received cytoreductive therapy prior to PBPC infusions; three patients with CML were pretreated with IFN alpha. Four of four patients with CML responded to PBPC infusions and currently are in complete clinical and molecular remission for time periods between 1 and 12 months. Six of six patients with acute leukemias achieved a complete remission. All of them relapsed after a median remission duration of 24 weeks (range 11-49 weeks). Three patients relapsed at extramedullary sites (CNS, testes, skin). Four of six acute leukemia patients received further cytoreductive therapy. All patients responded again and are in complete remission for time periods between 14 and 615 days. Two patients with acute leukemias have died due to dissemination of the disease. The patient with MM did not respond and is alive with disease. Severe (grade III) acute GVHD developed in two of 11 patients, three patients developed grade II disease, six patients did not show any signs of GVHD. Extensive chronic GVHD has developed in two cases to date. Patients with chemotherapy prior to PBPC infusion developed neutropenia and thrombocytopenia with a maximum duration of 20 and 14 days, respectively; prolonged periods of neutropenia did not occur. Two patients developed long-lasting thrombocytopenia in spite of PBPC infusion, in one case followed by leukemic relapse. Repeated courses of chemotherapy and PBPC infusion were generally tolerated well; no early deaths due to treatment-related toxicity or GVHD were observed. We conclude that the use of allogeneic PBPC instead of DLI in patients with relapse after BMT is technically feasible and safe. The efficacy of PBPC infusions seems comparable to DLI in patients with CML. Patients with acute leukemias also achieved complete albeit transient remissions. Aggressive chemotherapy followed by PBPC infusions resulted in only limited duration of cytopenia. The usage of PBPC infusion instead of non G-CSF-mobilized donor cells for treatment of relapse after BMT may reduce pancytopenia-related complications and merits further investigation. 相似文献

Lymphocyte transfusion from the marrow donor (DLT) is well established as an effective therapy for relapse of CML post allogeneic BMT. Reports thus far have been mostly limited to patients who received DLT from a matched sibling donor. We compared the efficacy and toxicity of DLT in 30 patients who were treated with cells from their HLA-identical sibling (n = 18) or from their phenotypically HLA-matched unrelated marrow donor (n = 12). The overall probability of obtaining a cytogenetic remission was 69% (95%CI: 51-83%) and was not significantly different between the two groups. The disease stage at the time of DLT was the only factor associated with cytogenetic remission by multivariate analysis; patients treated in cytogenetic or molecular relapse (n = 11) were seven times more likely (RR = 7.4, 95%CI: 2.4-22.4, P = 0.0005) to respond compared to patients treated for hematologic relapse (n = 19). There was a trend towards more acute GVHD II-IV in the unrelated donor group (58 vs 39%, P = 0.09), but the probability of developing extensive chronic GVHD was not significantly different (56 vs 39%, P = 0.4). We conclude that transfusion of donor cells from HLA-matched volunteer donors does not appreciably increase the risk of GVHD compared with transfusion of cells from HLA-identical siblings in patients with CML who relapse following allogeneic BMT. Conversely, there is no evidence for an increased graft-versus-leukemia effect after DLT from volunteer donors. 相似文献

Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is the only effective treatment for hematologic malignancies resistant to conventional chemotherapy. Until recently, no cure existed for patients who relapsed post-BMT. We present our long-term observations on remission induction, after relapse post-BMT, by allogeneic cell therapy (allo-CT) and the feasibility of remission induction in allo-CT-resistant patients by activation of antileukemia effector cells with recombinant human interleukin-2 (rhIL-2) in vitro and in vivo. The longest observation of successful allo-CT (event-free survival, greater than 8 years) was made in a patient with resistant pre-B lymphoblastic leukemia who received infusions with graded increments of donor (female) peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) as soon as bulky hematologic and extramedullary relapse was noticed early post-BMT. The patient is currently without evidence of residual host (male) cells as determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Of 17 patients with acute and chronic leukemia in relapse after BMT, 10 were reinduced into complete remission. Four patients with cytogenetic relapse responded to allo-CT alone, while five of six patients with overt hematologic relapse responded only after additional activation of donor with rhIL-2. Allo-CT can, therefore, successfully reverse chemoradiotherapy-resistant relapse of both acute and chronic leukemia. Moreover, in patients resistant to donor lymphocyte infusion, remission can be accomplished by additionally activating donor PBL in vitro and/or in vivo with rhIL-2. Based on our observations, after BMT, allo-CT should be considered the treatment of choice for patients with hematologic malignancies resistant to conventional anticancer modalities. Allogeneic activated cell therapy (allo ACT) should be considered for patients with tumor cells resistant to allo-CT. Although allo-CT, followed if indicated by allo-ACT, can be effective for patients with overt hematologic relapse, reversal of persistent minimal residual disease or documented molecular/cytogenetic relapse early after BMT may also be considered as a possible indication for allo-CT. 相似文献

Myeloablative therapy followed by allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) has proven to be curative therapy in patients with hematologic malignancies. Relapse, however, remains a major cause of treatment failure for patients with advanced disease. During the past 15 years, we have gained considerable experience with the combination of fractionated total-body irradiation (FTBI) and etoposide followed by allogeneic BMT for hematologic malignancies. In an attempt to decrease post-transplant relapse rates, 67 patients under the age of 50 years with high-risk or advanced-stage hematological malignancies received an intensified regimen of FTBI and etoposide plus cyclophosphamide followed by BMT from a genotypically-matched related donor. The regimen consisted of 1320 cGy of FTBI in 11 fractions, 60 mg/kg of etoposide (VP-16), and 60 mg/kg of cyclophosphamide (CY). Fifty-three patients received cyclosporine and prednisone for graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis and 14 patients received cyclosporine, methotrexate, and prednisone. Diagnosis at BMT included 45 patients with acute leukemia, 7 patients with chronic leukemia, and 15 patients with high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Actuarial disease-free survival (DFS) at 3 years was 42% +/- 12% for the entire group with a median follow-up of 50 months (range 20-74) for 28 patients who remain alive in continued complete remission (CR). Actuarial 3-year-DFS was 38% +/- 14% in 52 patients with acute or chronic leukemia and 60% +/- 25% in 15 patients with NHL with relapse rates of 45% +/- 16% and 21% +/- 11%, respectively. DFS at 3 years was 40% +/- 18% in 32 patients with acute leukemia in 1st relapse or 2nd CR or chronic myelogenous leukemia in accelerated phase, and was 32% +/- 22% in 20 patients with more advanced disease. Regimen related mortality occurred in 9 patients (4, veno-occlusive disease of the liver; 2, multi-organ failure; 1, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage; 1, central nervous system (CNS) hemorrhage; 1, adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The combination of FTBI, etoposide, and cyclophosphamide followed by allogeneic BMT is an effective and relatively well-tolerated regimen for patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. The role for this regimen should be further defined by prospective clinical trials. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To evaluate in a prospective study the efficacy of autologous bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in adult patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in first remission, using a single course of high-dose Cytarabine (HD Ara-C) consolidation therapy as in vivo purging. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Sixty consecutive adult patients with AML in first complete remission (CR) were treated with HD Ara-C consolidation therapy as a method of in vivo purging before marrow collection. High-dose therapy consisted of fractionated total-body irradiation (FTBI) 12 Gy, intravenous etoposide 60 mg/kg, and cyclophosphamide 75 mg/kg, followed by reinfusion of cryopreserved marrow. RESULTS: Sixty patients underwent consolidation treatment with HD Ara-C with the intent to treat with autologous BMT. Sixteen patients were unable to proceed to autologous BMT (10 patients relapsed, one died of sepsis, one developed cerebellar toxicity, two had inadequate blood counts, and two refused). Forty-four patients underwent autologous BMT and have a median follow-up time of 37 months (range, 14.7 to 68.7) for patients who are alive with no relapse. The cumulative probability of disease-free survival (DFS) at 24 months in the intent-to-treat group is 49% (95% confidence interval [CI], 37% to 62%) and in those who actually underwent autologous BMT is 61% (95% CI, 46% to 74%). The probability of relapse was 44% (95% CI, 31% to 58%) and 33% (95% CI, 20% to 49%) for the intent-to-treat and autologous BMT patients, respectively. CONCLUSION: This approach offers a relatively high DFS rate to adult patients with AML in first CR. The results of this study are similar to those achieved with allogeneic BMT. 相似文献

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: To describe new bone marrow transplantation (BMT) options for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), as well as their applications and prognoses, and to describe the role of the oncology nurse in caring for the BMT recipient and options for future nursing research. DATA SOURCES: Published articles, book chapters, and personal experience. DATA SYNTHESIS: Various pretransplant agents and methods are under investigation to improve the outcome and reduce the costs of allogeneic and autologous BMT and peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) transplants. Preliminary results of current studies indicate that autologous BMTs and PBPC transplants have merit as a treatment option in patients with AML and require further research. For patients with APL, BMT usually is reserved for those who fail to achieve or relapse after achieving remission with chemotherapy. Preliminary data show that patients with CML and APL who receive a PBPC transplant engraft more rapidly with decreased morbidity and mortality. CONCLUSIONS: BMT options for patients with CML and APL continue to evolve as advances in pretransplant methods and symptom management become capable of improving the outcome, decreasing costs, and shifting patient care to the outpatient and homecare settings. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Understanding the marrow transplant options available to patients with CML and APL is essential for nurses. They must stay informed about ongoing improvements in pretransplant processes and symptom-management procedures that reduce BMT morbidity and mortality. Inpatient and outpatient nurses need to collaborate and participate in nursing research to find better ways of providing the best care possible for patients. 相似文献

Relapse remains a significant problem after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). For patients with relapsed chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), infusions of donor mononuclear cells (MNC) provide a potent graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) reaction inducing complete remissions in the majority of patients. Little is known about the efficacy of donor MNC infusions for patients who relapse with other diseases. We have studied the GVL effects of donor MNC in eight patients with relapsed acute leukemia or myelodysplasia (MDS). One patient with relapsed MDS achieved complete remission and another patient had a transient response. Five of six non-responders died of progressive leukemia and one non-responder died of complications during second BMT. Three patients developed grade I-II acute GVHD responsive to immunosuppression. These data, and review of the literature, suggest that GVL induction with donor MNC infusions is less effective for patients with relapsed acute leukemia than for patients with relapsed CML; too few patients with relapsed MDS have been treated to draw definite conclusions. However, some patients respond, and given the high mortality associated with alternative procedures such as second BMT, donor MNC infusions are a reasonable approach for relapsed acute leukemia and MDS after allogeneic BMT. 相似文献

Thirty-eight second allogeneic bone marrow transplants (BMT) for acute leukemia relapsed after first BMT were performed in 13 Italian centers between 1987 and 1994. Twenty-one patients had acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), 17 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL); at second BMT 24 patients were in complete remission (CR) and 14 in relapse. The median time to relapse after first BMT was 10 months (range 1-70). Grade II or greater acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after second transplant occurred in 34.2% of patients and a chronic GVHD in 31.5% of patients. Twenty-four patients died: seven from early transplant-related mortality (TRM), 13 from relapse and four from late toxicity. As of 31 July 1996, at a median follow-up of 47 months (range 22-85), there are 14 survivors. The three-year probability of TRM, relapse and event-free survival (EFS) is 28%, 40% and 42% respectively. In 20 of 27 evaluable patients, remission duration after second BMT was longer than after the first BMT. A diagnosis of AML was correlated with a better outcome. These data support the usefulness of second allograft in selected patients with AML relapsing after a first BMT. 相似文献

Patients with hematologic malignancy or severe aplastic anemia after myeloablative chemo- and radiotherapy were given granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-mobilized, cryopreserved allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) from 15 healthy donors who were either human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched siblings (n = 13) or haploidentical offspring (2). Polymerase chain reaction-amplified short tandem repeat genotyping was used for early confirmation of donor engraftment after PBSC transplantation (PBSCT). A standard cyclosporine A/methotrexate combination was used to prevent acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). All donors, including one in the third trimester of pregnancy, tolerated G-CSF administration and 3-day PBSC harvesting procedures well. Engraftment was prompt for all patients; it was verified using a panel of 12 human polymorphic short tandem repeat loci from bone marrow as early as 7 days posttransplantation. This status was maintained until relapse, when mixed chimerism was detected using the polymerase chain reaction. A minimum resurgence of recipient cells to 1% of the population was required to detect chimerism. The median times to recovery of the absolute neutrophil count to greater than 0.5 x 10(9)/L and the sustained platelet count to greater than 20 x 10(9)/L without transfusion were 10 and 12 days after PBSCT, respectively. Six patients experienced acute GVHD, Grade I in two patients and Grade II in four, including two HLA-haploidentical recipients. Chronic GVHD was noticed in three of the 11 patients who were followed for at least 100 days after PBSCT. Ten patients were still alive at the latest follow-up and have been disease free for a median of 278 days (range 60-671). Five patients died from causes other than graft failure: three from leukemia relapse and two from transplant-related complications. The results confirm that G-CSF can be safely administered to healthy donors and that engraftment after allogeneic PBSCT is fast and durable. Complete chimerism can be detected early by genomic analysis. PBSCT may offer an alternative to bone marrow transplantation. 相似文献

We analyzed results of 40 infants less than 2 years of age who received bone marrow transplants (BMT) between May 1974 and January 1995 for treatment of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML; N = 34) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS; N = 6) to determine outcome and survival performance. Among the AML patients, 13 were in first remission, 9 were in untreated first relapse or second remission, and 12 were in refractory relapse. Patients were conditioned with cyclophosphamide in combination with either total body irradiation (TBI; N = 29) or busulfan (N = 11). Source of stem cells included 6 autologous donors, 15 HLA genotypically identical siblings, 14 haploidentical family members, and 5 unrelated donors. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis was methotrexate (MTX) for 17, MTX plus cyclosporine (CSP) for 14, or CSP plus prednisone for 3. Incidence of severe (grade 3-4) regimen-related toxicity was 10% and transplant-related mortality was 10%. Acute GVHD (grades II-III) occurred in 39% of allogeneic patients, and chronic GVHD developed in 40%. Relapse, the most significant problem for patients in this study, occurred in 1 MDS patient and 23 AML patients and was the cause of death for 19 patients. The 2-year probabilities of relapse are 46%, 67%, and 92%, respectively, for patients transplanted in first remission, untreated first relapse or second remission, and relapse. One MDS and 8 AML patients received second marrow transplants for treatment of relapse, and 5 of these survive disease-free for more than 1.5 years. All 6 MDS patients and 11 of 34 AML patients survive more than 1.5 years later. The 5-year probabilities of survival and disease-free survival are 54% and 38% for patients transplanted in first remission and 33% and 22% for untreated first relapse or second remission. None of the patients transplanted with refractory relapse survive disease-free. Outcome was significantly associated with phase of disease at transplantation and pretransplant diagnosis of extramedullary disease. Long-term sequelae included growth failure and hormonal deficiencies. Survival performance was a median of 100% (80% to 100%) and neurologic development for all survivors was appropriate for age. This study indicates that infants with AML have similar outcome after BMT compared with older children and that BMT should be performed in first remission whenever possible. In addition, allogeneic BMT provides effective therapy for the majority of infants with MDS. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of induction of complete remission with infusion of lymphocytes from the original bone marrow donor in patients with leukaemia which relapsed after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. SETTING: Division of Haematology, University Hospital Nijmegen and the Red Cross Blood Bank Nijmegen, the Netherlands. DESIGN: Prospective, non-randomized study. METHODS: Twenty-eight patients who relapsed after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation were treated with infusion of lymphocytes from the original bone marrow donor. Lymphocytes were collected by means of leukapheresis. Follow-up was done by frequent checks at the outpatient clinic. RESULTS: Eleven of 15 (73%) patients with relapsed chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) and only one of 13 patients (8%) with a relapse of acute leukaemia went into complete remission (p < 0.001). Entering complete remission was always preceded by acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The development of acute and/or chronic GVHD was significantly associated with the origin of T-lymphocytes in the blood of the recipient at the time of infusion. If the T-lymphocytes came mostly from the patient himself, the infusion remained usually without effect. If the T-lymphocytes came mostly from the donor, the patients went into complete remission. CONCLUSION: Patients with a relapse of leukaemia after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation may enter complete remission after infusion of lymphocytes from the original marrow donor. This form of immunotherapy can be successful especially in patients with a relapsed CML with a relatively low percentage of autologous T-lymphocytes at the time of infusion. 相似文献

Treatment options for acute leukemia relapsing after allogeneic BMT include conventional chemotherapy or a second transplant; however, results are rather discouraging, the first option being associated with poor survival and the second with a high mortality rate. More recently, donor leukocyte infusion (DLI) from the original donor has been used for relapsed patients in an attempt to induce a graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect. This procedure is partially devoid of the toxicity inherent to a second BMT. At our Institution, a 36-year-old patient with biphenotypic AML in second complete remission after relapse following allogeneic BMT was treated with peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC)-enriched donor leukocytes, obtained after in vivo priming with rhG-CSF. The patient experienced extensive cGVHD but developed a testicular relapse while in full hematologic remission. After irradiation of the sanctuary site he remains free of disease, still with chronic GVHD, 21 months after bone marrow relapse. This case suggests that immunologically privileged sites are inaccessible to GVHD/GVL effect. This should be considered when planning salvage transplants procedures in patients at risk for extramedullary involvement. 相似文献

We attempted to administer PEG-L-asparaginase (PEG-L-A) following hematologic recovery to 38 patients undergoing autologous or allogeneic marrow transplantation for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Twenty-four patients (12 of 22 receiving allogeneic and 12 of 16 receiving autologous transplants) received between one and 12 doses of PEG-L-A, including nine who completed the planned 12 doses of therapy. The toxicities encountered were similar to those observed in non-transplanted patients undergoing therapy with PEG-L-A and included allergic reactions, pancreatitis, weight loss, hypoalbuminemia, and low levels of anti-thrombin III. Of the 24 who received the drug, eight remain in remission. Of 12 patients in second remission at the time of transplantation who received PEG-L-A, five of seven who received allogeneic and two of five who received autologous transplants remain in remission, 16+ to 46+ months from transplant. While PEG-L-A could be administered to most of the patients undergoing marrow transplantation for ALL, most patients either relapsed while receiving the drug or developed toxicities which resulted in abbreviated courses. At this time, we cannot recommend PEG-L-A as single agent, post-BMT chemotherapy. 相似文献

The results of an intensive treatment program for patients 16-60 yr of age with de novo acute myeloid leukemia are presented. The patients were given conventional induction treatment with daunorubicin and cytarabine. Patients not entering complete remission (CR) after 1 course of daunorubicin/cytarabine were given 1 course of amsacrine/etoposide/cytarabine. Those entering complete remission received 3 consolidation courses using mitoxantrone, etoposide, amsacrine and cytarabine. One hundred and eighteen patients were enrolled. Complete remission was attained after 1-2 courses in 90 patients (76%). Another 6 patients reached CR after 3-4 induction courses for a total CR rate of 81%. If feasible, patients were offered either allogeneic or unpurged autologous bone marrow transplantation. Twenty-four patients underwent allogeneic bone marrow transplantation; 15 in first remission, 8 in second remission, 1 in early relapse. Thirty patients below 56 yr of age underwent autologous bone marrow transplantation in first remission. The overall probability of survival at 4 yr was 34%, and for patients below 40 yr of age 50%. Leukemia-free survival was 35% for the whole cohort of patients; 52% for patients below 40 yr of age. Patients undergoing allogeneic or autologous bone marrow transplantation in first remission had an overall survival of 86% and 47%, respectively, while the probability of leukemia-free survival in these groups was 87% vs. 40% at 4 yr. The CR rate and long-term results of this intensive treatment program compare favorably with other recent studies using intensive consolidation with allogeneic or autologous bone marrow transplantation or high dose cytarabine. 相似文献

The destruction of hematopoiesis and lymphopoiesis by total body irradiation or high dose chemotherapy for the treatment of malignancy can be reversed by the transplantation of allogeneic or autologous hematopoietic stem cells. In primary disorders of bone marrow or immune system, allogeneic stem cells replace deficient cells. Acute leukemias can be cured, with in 50 to 80% disease free survival after 5 to 8 years. The allogeneic graft versus leukemia effect by immunoreactive cells reduces the relapse rate in myeloid and lymphoid malignancies. 40 to 70% of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia remain disease free after more than 5 years. Patients with malignant lymphoma have a 40 to 70% chance of cure with autologous transplantation, which is not increased by allogeneic cells, because of a higher incidence of severe complications. An increasing number of patients without option for cure is treated with the aim of prolonging remission or retarding disease progression, such as in chronic myeloid leukemia, multiple myeloma and certain solid tumors. New studies suggest in breast cancer with axillary lymph node metastases, that adjuvant high dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell support will significantly improve disease free survival from 30 to over 60% after 3 to 5 years. In congenital metabolic and storage diseases deficient enzymes are substituted by the allogeneic cells. Clinical trials explore the use of stem cell transplantation after myeloablative therapy in autoimmune disorders as well as in gene therapy with transfected hematopoietic stem cells. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Approximately one-fourth of patients who could benefit from bone marrow transplantation (BMT) are served by a genotypically identical sibling donor. When patients do not have an HLA-matched donor, alternative marrow sources should be explored. The way to allow survival in some patients is to perform two- or three loci HLA mismatched BMT. Preliminary results with BMT in partially-matched, related donors performed at Veterans General Hospital-Taipei are reported. METHODS: Between 1985 and 1994, a total of 121 patients were enrolled in this study. Ten patients received BMT with HLA partially-matched, related donor, including 2 acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL), 5 chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) and 3 severe aplastic anemia (SAA). Three and four hematologically malignant patients received cyclophosphamide (Cy) + radiotherapy (RT) and Cy + Busulfan(Bu) preconditioning regimens, respectively; three SAA patients received standard Cy + RT regimen. Additional prophylaxis against graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) consisted of methotrexate (MTX) and cyclosporin-A (CSA). The median follow up was 36 months. Seven were 2-loci disparate and 3 were 3-loci. RESULTS: Engraftment developed with a mean of 20.9 days after transplant. Nonengraftment rate was 1/10 (10%), delayed graft failure 2/10(20%) and venoocculsive disease (VOD) 1/10(10%). The percentage of patients who developed grade II to IV acute GVHD was low (13.6% of those mismatched at 0 locus, 31.6% mismatched at 1 loci and 14.3% at > or = 2 loci. p = 0.181). Extensive chronic GVHD occurred in 16.7% (34.1% of those mismatched at 0 locus, 41.2% mismatched at 1 loci and 16.7% at 2 loci. p = 0.492). There were five deaths. The other 5 still survived at 36 months of follow-up. Log-rank analysis revealed no statistical significance between those mismatched at > or = 2 vs at 1 (p = 0.146) but the difference between those mismatched at > or = 2 and at 0 (p = 0.0359) was statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: When patients requiring BMT without an HLA identical sibling donor, an alternative transplant from haploidentical family members remains a viable option, especially when a patient has CML, SAA or other refractory hematologic malignancies. 相似文献

This report details the evolution of bone marrow transplantation in Europe over a 20-year period. In 1973, 8 teams undertook a total of 16 allogeneic bone marrow transplants; in 1983, 97 teams performed 1353 transplants. In 1993, the numbers had risen to 260 teams and 7737 transplants. Donor source in 3092 cases was an allogeneic donor (2464 HLA-identical sibling transplants, 147 non-identical family donor transplants, 25 twin donor transplants and 456 unrelated donor transplants). For 4645 patients the transplant was autologous (2450 autologous bone marrow transplants, 1830 autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplants and 365 combined autologous peripheral blood and bone marrow transplants). Indications for transplants in 1993 were leukemias in 3419 patients (44%; 2332 allogeneic, 1087 autologous), lymphoproliferative disorders in 2666 patients (34%; 197 allogeneic, 2469 autologous), solid tumors in 1077 patients (14%; 9 allogeneic, 1068 autologous), aplastic anemia in 251 patients (3%; 250 allogeneic, 1 autologous), inborn errors in 244 patients (3%; 242 allogeneic, 2 autologous) and miscellaneous disorders in 80 patients (1%; 62 allogeneic, 18 autologous). These data illustrate the increase of hematopoietic stem cell transplants as a therapeutic modality over the last 20 years in Europe. 相似文献
