Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can cure malignant and nonmalignant hematological disorders. From 1983 to 2022, Taiwan performed more than 10,000 HSCT transplants. The Taiwan Blood and Marrow Transplantation Registry collects clinical information to gather everyone's experience and promote the advances of HSCT in Taiwan to gather everyone's experience and promote advances of HSCT in Taiwan. Compared with matched sibling donors, transplants from matched unrelated donors exhibited a trend of superior survival. In Taiwan, transplant donors showed remarkable growth from unrelated (24.8%) and haploidentical (10.5%) donors. The number of older patients (17.4%; aged ≥61 years) who underwent transplantation has increased markedly. This review summarizes several significant developments in HSCT treatment in Taiwan. First, the use of Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) and intravenous busulfan regimens were important risk factors for predicting hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome. Second, a new, machine learning-based risk prediction scoring system for posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder has identified five risk factors: aplastic anemia, partially mismatched related donors, fludarabine use, ATG use, and acute skin graft-versus-host disease. Third, although the incidence of idiopathic pneumonia syndrome was low (1.1%), its mortality rate was high (58.1%). Fourth, difficult-to-treat mantle cell and T-cell lymphomas treated with autologous HSCT during earlier remission had higher survival rates. Fifth, treatment of incurable multiple myeloma with autologous HSCT showed a median progression-free survival and overall survival of 46.5 and 70.4 months, respectively. Sixth, different haploidentical transplantation strategies were compared. Seventh, caution should be taken in administering allogeneic HSCT treatment in older patients with myeloid leukemia with a Charlson Comorbidity Index ≥3 because of a higher risk of nonrelapse mortality.

Real-life feasibility of salvage allogeneic transplantation in peripheral T-cell lymphomas. Bone Marrow Transplant 2018; 54:1237-1244. [PMID: 30531956 DOI: 10.1038/s41409-018-0417-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2018] [Revised: 10/22/2018] [Accepted: 11/02/2018] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Relapsed/refractory Peripheral T-cell Lymphomas are characterized by a poor prognosis, especially for patients who are not candidates for allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation. We conducted a retrospective analysis on 73 consecutive patients affected by relapsed/refractory T-Cell lymphomas who were considered eligible for allogeneic transplant. All patients were referred at our center from 2001 to 2017. With a median follow-up of 40 months (range 9-192 months), 4-year second-line failure-free survival and overall survival were 14% (CI95%:7-24) and 34% (CI95%:22-46). Extranodal disease at relapse (HR 2.25, CI95%: 1.11-4.56, p = 0.02) and first-line failure-free survival < 12 months (HR 3.37, CI95%: 1.67-6.88, p < 0.01) had a negative prognostic impact on survival. Only 45 out of 73 patients (62%) received allogeneic transplant. For the 28 (38%) patients who did not proceed to transplant, disease progression was the main reason for ineligibility. Median survival from time of transplant was 31 months (range 4-185 months). A first-line failure-free survival < 12 months had a negative prognostic impact also for allografted patients (2-year survival 45% vs 73%, p = 0.03) identifying a very high-risk population which requires novel treatments pre and post-transplant to obtain a long-term disease control.
