Influence of Obesity on the Efficacy and Toxicity of Patients Undergoing Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for Lymphoma. CLINICAL LYMPHOMA, MYELOMA & LEUKEMIA 2024:S2152-2650(24)01817-2. [PMID: 39343716 DOI: 10.1016/j.clml.2024.09.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2024] [Revised: 09/05/2024] [Accepted: 09/06/2024] [Indexed: 10/01/2024]
Abstract
Hematopoietic cell transplantation requires higher doses of chemotherapy, and practices of adjusting the weight because of concerns of organ toxicity are common. This retrospective analysis of 239 adult recipients of autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation for lymphoma assessed the effect of obesity on transplantation outcomes. BACKGROUND Prior data evaluating the impact of obesity in autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) for lymphomas have provided differing results when assessing overall (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Impact on survival outcomes have been described, but direct comparison of discrete toxicities is lacking. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively compared outcomes with patients divided between 3 groups: nonobese patients (n = 129), obese patients dosed on adjusted body weight (AdjBW) (n = 32), and obese patients dosed on total body weight (TBW) (n = 78). RESULTS In multivariate analysis of OS with the nonobese group as the comparator, outcomes trended worse in obese patients dosed on AdjBW (HR 1.22, 95% CI 0.52-2.85) but were improved in obese patients dosed on TBW (HR 0.19, 95% CI 0.04-0.85, P = .012). PFS of obese patients dosed on AdjBW vs. the nonobese group was comparable (HR 1.19, 95% CI 0.63-2.24), but improved in obese patients dosed on TBW (HR 0.45, 95% CI 0.23-0.89, P = .021). Notably, no differences were noted between groups in gastrointestinal, infectious, renal, or hepatic toxicities. CONCLUSION In summary, our data suggest that recipients of AHCT for lymphoma should be dosed on TBW to maximize curative outcomes with no apparent increase in toxicities.

Ann Hematol 2024; 103:2455-2462. [PMID: 38809456 DOI: 10.1007/s00277-024-05813-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate whether BeEAM is an alternative to BEAM for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). METHODS Data of 60 patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL who underwent ASCT from January 2018 to June 2023 in our center, including 30 patients in the BeEAM group and 30 patients in the BEAM group, were retrospectively analyzed. The time to hematopoietic reconstitution, treatment-related adverse events, number of hospitalization days, hospitalization cost, and survival benefit were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The clinical characteristics of the patients did not significantly differ between the two groups. The median number of reinfused CD34 + cells was 5.06 × 106/kg and 5.17 × 106/kg in the BeEAM and BEAM groups, respectively, which did not significantly different (p = 0.8829). In the BeEAM and BEAM groups, the median time to neutrophil implantation was 10.2 and 10.27 days, respectively (p = 0.8253), and the median time to platelet implantation was 13.23 and 12.87 days, respectively (p = 0.7671). In the BeEAM and BEAM groups, the median hospitalization duration was 30.37 and 30.57 days, respectively (p = 0.9060), and the median hospitalization cost was RMB 83,425 and RMB 96,235, respectively (p = 0.0560). The hospitalization cost was lower in the BeEAM group. The most common hematologic adverse events were grade ≥ 3 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia, whose incidences were similar in the two groups. The most common non-hematologic adverse events were ≤ grade 2 and the incidences of these events did not significantly differ between the two groups. Median overall survival was not reached in either group, with predicted 5-year overall survival of 72.5% and 60% in the BeEAM and BEAM groups, respectively (p = 0.5872). Five-year progression-free survival was 25% and 20% in the BeEAM and BEAM groups, respectively (p = 0.6804). CONCLUSION As a conditioning regimen for relapsed or refractory DLBCL, BeEAM has a desirable safety profile and is well tolerated, and its hematopoietic reconstitution time, number of hospitalization days, and survival benefit are not inferior to those of BEAM. BeEAM has a lower hospitalization cost and is an alternative to BEAM.

Abstract
To investigate the efficacy and safety of the FEAC (fotemustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and cyclophosphamide) conditioning regimen for the treatment of lymphoma, we retrospectively analyzed the records of 76 Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients who underwent autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) after the FEAC conditioning regimen. Their survival, as well as the clinical efficacy, hematopoietic engraftment time, and toxicity, were analyzed. One patient died of severe pulmonary infection, and the transplant-related mortality (TRM) was 1.3% (1/76). Hematopoietic engraftment was achieved successfully in the remaining 75 patients. The median times of neutrophil and platelet engraftment were 11 d (6-21 d) and 13 d (8-24 d), respectively. The 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate was 69.1%, and the 2-year overall survival (OS) rate was 84.2%. FEAC conditioning regimen has acceptable toxicity, and the prognosis of patients is good, making it a feasible alternative to the BEAM regimen for ASCT.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hodgkin's (HL) and non-Hodgkin's (NHL) lymphomas have usually high cure rates. The standard of care for chemosensitive relapsed/refractory lymphoma patients is salvage chemotherapy followed by AHSCT. Due to carmustine and melphalan shortages, alternative pre-AHSCT conditioning regimens with similar tolerance and response were needed. OBJECTIVES To compare the efficacy and toxicity profile between relapsed/refractory HL and NHL lymphomas given BEAM or BuCyE. METHODS A retrospective analyses of 122 patients in a Brazilian center was made. OS and PFS were calculated by Kaplan-Meier and compared by log rank. Toxicity and engraftment data were also compared. RESULTS Most clinical characteristics were similar between groups, although a higher frequency of grade ≥ 2 mucositis (p = .01) was seen in the BuCyE group. No significant difference in OS or PFS were observed between the groups. CONCLUSION BEAM and BuCyE are well tolerated with similar toxicity profiles and survival outcomes. Therefore, BuCyE conditioning regimen can be considered an alternative to BEAM.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION After high dose chemotherapy (HDC) and autologous stem cell transplantation (auto-SCT), in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), involved field radiation therapy (RT) for consolidation and residual/progressive disease (PD) eradication is a common practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective single-institution cohort analysis to evaluate the impact of early RT after HDC auto-SCT. RESULTS Between 1996 and October 2019, 153 patients (43 DLBCL, 110 HL) underwent RT after HDC auto-SCT. Males 95 (62%), females 58 (38%), median age 24 years. Indications for RT was consolidation 65%: residual disease eradication 16%: and PD eradication 19%. For DLBCL, the median overall survival (OS) for the above indications was not reached (NR):NR:2 months and the KM 5-year OS was 72.6%:64.3%:12.5% respectively (P ≤ .000). Pair-wise analysis showed that consolidation versus residual disease eradication had no difference (P = .88) but both were superior to PD disease eradication (P ≤ 000 and P = .005 respectively). For HL, indication for RT was, 54%:23%:24% respectively. The median OS was NR:NR:28.8 months and KM 5-year OS was 82.3%:78%:30% respectively (P ≤ .000). Pair-wise analysis showed that consolidation versus residual disease eradication had no difference (P = .98) but both were superior to the PD eradication group (P ≤ 000). RT was well tolerated with no significant long-term toxicity. CONCLUSION Post HDC auto-SCT RT was well tolerated. DLBCL and HL patients with residual disease treated with the RT had similar long-term survival as those who received RT for consolidation. RT failed to improve the poor survival in patients with post-HDC auto-SCT PD.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine whether the modified BuCy (semustine, cytarabine, busulfan, and cyclophosphamide, mBuCy) conditioning regimen can be safely used as an alternative to the SEAM (semustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan) regimen by comparing the efficacy and toxicity of the mBuCy and SEAM regimens. We matched 34 pairs of patients with regard to disease status at the time of autologous stem cell transplantation (auto-SCT). We found no significant difference in the time of platelet engraftment between the two groups. Furthermore, neutrophil engraftment was somewhat faster in the mBuCy group than in the SEAM group (median: 9 days vs 10 days, p = 0.015). With regard to toxicity, the incidence of nausea/vomiting, hepatic impairment, renal impairment, pulmonary infection, and treatment-related mortality (TRM) was similar between the two groups. In addition, compared to patients conditioned with SEAM, patients conditioned with mBuCy were less likely to develop mucositis and diarrhea (p = 0.027; p = 0.050). The 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates in the mBuCy and SEAM groups were 79% and 70% (p = 0.378), respectively, and the 2-year overall survival (OS) rates were 81% and 78.0%, respectively (p = 0.789). These analyses showed that the mBuCy conditioning regimen was well tolerated and can be used as an alternative to the SEAM regimen for lymphoma.

Abstract
We sought to develop a safe and effective outpatient salvage regimen by replacing ifosfamide within the (R)ICE (rituximab, ifosfomide, carboplatin, etoposide) regimen with bendamustine (T(R)EC) via a multicentre phase I/II study for patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and classic Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Therapy consisted of 60-120 mg/m2 per day bendamustine on days 1 and 2 in combination with carboplatin, etoposide and rituximab (only for CD20+ lymphoma) used in the (R)ICE regimen for up to 2 cycles. The objectives were to define a maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of bendamustine, determine safety and toxicity, assess efficacy, and evaluate impact on stem cell collection. Forty-eight patients were treated of which 71% had refractory disease. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed. The recommended phase II dose of bendamustine was 120 mg/m2 per day on days 1 and 2. Response rates were 85% (70% complete response, CR) in HL, and 65% (40% CR) in DLBCL. Stem cell collection was successful in 30 of 32 patients. The most common non-haematological toxicities ≥grade 3 were febrile neutropenia (8%) and dehydration (8%). The T(R)EC regimen safely yields high response rates, successfully mobilizes peripheral blood stem cells and compares favourably to RICE, offering an effective outpatient treatment option for patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL and HL.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) accounts for about 10% of all lymphomas in the U.S.A. Exceptional progress has been made in the treatment of HL with complete response (CR) rates up to 94% in limited stage and 88% in advanced stage disease with regimens such as adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine in the frontline setting. Nevertheless, up to 10% of patients with limited stage disease and 20-30% of those with advanced stage HL relapse. In the last decade, newer agents such as brentuximab vedotin (BV) and checkpoint inhibitors have been approved by the FDA for treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory HL. As these newer agents are increasingly incorporated in both the frontline and relapsed settings, their optimal sequence becomes challenging for clinicians. Areas covered: This review will discuss the evidence behind the approval of BV and checkpoint inhibitors in HL and the appropriate sequence for using them in relapsed HL. Expert commentary: The appropriate sequence of BV and/or checkpoint inhibitors in the relapsed setting depends on the regimen used in the frontline setting.

Abstract
Effects of the chemotherapeutic agent etoposide on the skeleton were determined in mice. Numbers of bone marrow cells were reduced and myeloid cells were increased. Bone volume was significantly decreased with signs of inhibition of bone formation. Etoposide after pre-treatment with zoledronic acid still reduced bone but overall bone volume was higher than with etoposide alone. INTRODUCTION Chemotherapeutics target rapidly dividing tumor cells yet also impact hematopoietic and immune cells in an off target manner. A wide array of therapies have negative side effects on the skeleton rendering patients osteopenic and prone to fracture. This study focused on the pro-apoptotic chemotherapeutic agent etoposide and its short- and long-term treatment effects in the bone marrow and skeleton. METHODS Six- to 16-week-old mice were treated with etoposide (20-25 mg/kg) or vehicle control in short-term (daily for 5-9 days) or long-term (3×/week for 17 days or 6 weeks) regimens. Bone marrow cell populations and their phagocytic/efferocytic functions were analyzed by flow cytometry. Blood cell populations were assessed by CBC analysis. Bone volume and area compartments and osteoclast numbers were measured by microCT, histomorphometry, and TRAP staining. Biomarkers of bone formation (P1NP) and resorption (TRAcP5b) were assayed from serum. Gene expression in bone marrow was assessed using qPCR. RESULTS Flow cytometric analysis of the bone marrow revealed short-term etoposide reduced overall cell numbers and B220+ cells, with increased marrow apoptotic (AnnexinV+PI-) cells, mesenchymal stem-like cells, and CD68+, CD45+, and CD11b+ monocyte/myeloid cells (as a percent of the total marrow). After 6 weeks, the CD68+, Gr1+, CD11b+, and CD45+ cell populations were still relatively increased in etoposide-treated bone marrow. Skeletal phenotyping revealed etoposide decreased bone volume, trabecular thickness, and cortical bone volume. Gene expression in the marrow for the leptin receptor and CXCL12 were reduced with short-term etoposide, and an increased ratio of RANKL/OPG mRNA was observed. In whole bone, Runx2 and osteocalcin gene expressions were reduced, and in serum, P1NP was significantly reduced with etoposide. Treatment with the antiresorptive agent zoledronic acid prior to etoposide increased bone volume and improved the etoposide-induced decrease in skeletal parameters. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that etoposide induces apoptosis in the bone marrow and significantly reduces parameters of bone formation with rapid reduction in bone volume. Pre-treatment with an antiresorptive agent results in a preservation of bone mass. Preventive approaches to preserving the skeleton should be considered in human clinical studies.

A multi-institutional analysis of peritransplantation radiotherapy in patients with relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation. Cancer 2016; 123:1363-1371. [PMID: 27984652 DOI: 10.1002/cncr.30482] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2016] [Revised: 11/10/2016] [Accepted: 11/14/2016] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND No consensus exists regarding the use of radiotherapy (RT) in conjunction with high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDC/ASCT) for patients with relapsed/refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). The objectives of the current study were to characterize practice patterns and assess the efficacy and toxicity of RT at 2 major transplantation centers. METHODS Eligible patients underwent HDC/ASCT from 2006 through 2015 using the combination of either carmustine (BCNU), etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan (BEAM) or cyclophosphamide, BCNU, and etoposide (CBV). RESULTS For the cohort of 189 patients, the 4-year overall survival rate was 80%, the progression-free survival rate was 67%, and the local control (LC) rate was 68%. RT was used within 4 months of ASCT for 22 patients (12%) and was given more often for disease that was early stage, primary refractory, or [18 F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid at the time of HDC/ASCT. Disease recurrence occurring after HDC/ASCT was associated with primary refractory disease and FDG-avidity at the time of HDC/ASCT. RT was not found to be associated with LC, progression-free survival, or overall survival on univariate analysis. In a model incorporating primary refractory HL and FDG-avid disease at the time of HDC/ASCT, RT was found to be associated with a decreased risk of local disease recurrence (hazard ratio, 0.3; P = .02). In patients with primary refractory HL and/or FDG-avid disease at the time of HDC/ASCT, the 4-year LC rate was 81% with RT versus 49% without RT (P = .03). There was one case of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade ≥ 3 RT-related toxicity (acute grade 3 pancytopenia). CONCLUSIONS In patients undergoing ASCT for relapsed/refractory HL, peritransplantation RT was used more often for disease that was early stage, primary refractory, or FDG-avid after salvage conventional-dose chemotherapy. RT was associated with improved LC of high-risk localized disease and was well tolerated with modern techniques. Cancer 2017;123:1363-1371. © 2016 American Cancer Society.

Abstract
There are limited data to guide the choice of high-dose therapy (HDT) regimen before autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) for patients with Hodgkin (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). We studied 4917 patients (NHL, n = 3905; HL, n = 1012) who underwent AHCT from 1995 to 2008 using the most common HDT platforms: carmustine (BCNU), etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan (BEAM) (n = 1730); cyclophosphamide, BCNU, and etoposide (CBV) (n = 1853); busulfan and cyclophosphamide (BuCy) (n = 789); and total body irradiation (TBI)-containing treatment (n = 545). CBV was divided into CBV(high) and CBV(low) based on BCNU dose. We analyzed the impact of regimen on development of idiopathic pulmonary syndrome (IPS), transplantation-related mortality (TRM), and progression-free and overall survival. The 1-year incidence of IPS was 3% to 6% and was highest in recipients of CBV(high) (hazard ratio [HR], 1.9) and TBI (HR, 2.0) compared with BEAM. One-year TRM was 4% to 8%, respectively, and was similar between regimens. Among patients with NHL, there was a significant interaction between histology, HDT regimen, and outcome. Compared with BEAM, CBV(low) (HR, .63) was associated with lower mortality in follicular lymphoma (P < .001), and CBV(high) (HR, 1.44) was associated with higher mortality in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (P = .001). For patients with HL, CBV(high) (HR, 1.54), CBV(low) (HR, 1.53), BuCy (HR, 1.77), and TBI (HR, 3.39) were associated with higher mortality compared with BEAM (P < .001). The impact of specific AHCT regimen on post-transplantation survival is different depending on histology; therefore, further studies are required to define the best regimen for specific diseases.

Abstract
Background Most Hodgkin lymphomas (HL) can be cured with current strategies. However, one-third of the cases do not respond or relapse and need salvage regimens. We report the results of a retrospective study using the gemcitabine and oxaliplatinum (GemOx) regimen. Methods Patients who relapsed or failed to achieve complete response were eligible and received GemOx salvage therapy. To avoid selection bias and thus to overcome the retrospective nature of the study, all treated patients were included from the pharmacy database. Results Between 2003–2013, 24 HL patients – relapsing (number [n]=12) or refractory (n=12) – were included, receiving a total of 26 induction treatments with GemOx. Mean previous regimens were 2.38 (42% relapsing after autologous transplantation). Median follow-up was 37 months, and 71% responded (38% of patients achieved complete response). The factors related to better progression-free survival were: B symptoms; response to GemOx; and consolidation with stem cell transplantation. Grades 1 and 2 neurological toxicity was present in 17% of patients. Hematological toxicity was common, with grades 3 and 4 neutropenia (25%) and thrombocytopenia (34%) observed. Progression-free survival was better in patients consolidated with stem cell transplantation. The peripheral blood stem cell collection after GemOx was successful for all candidates. Conclusion 1) The GemOx regimen is effective in relapsed or refractory HL with manageable toxicity. 2) No mobilization failures were observed. 3) Consolidation after response is needed. 4) Its efficacy and favorable toxicity profile might make multiple administrations possible in several recurrences in HL.

Abstract
The Hodgkin's Lymphoma Committee of the Lymphoma Study Association (LYSA) gathered in 2012 to prepare guidelines on the management of transplant-eligible patients with relapsing or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma. The working group is made up of a multidisciplinary panel of experts with a significant background in Hodgkin's lymphoma. Each member of the panel of experts provided an interpretation of the evidence and a systematic approach to obtain consensus was used. Grades of recommendation were not required since levels of evidence are mainly based on phase II trials or standard practice. Data arising from randomized trials are emphasized. The final version was endorsed by the scientific council of the LYSA. The expert panel recommends a risk-adapted strategy (conventional treatment, or single/double transplantation and/or radiotherapy) based on three risk factors at progression (primary refractory disease, remission duration < 1 year, stage III/IV), and an early evaluation of salvage chemosensitivity, including (18)fluorodeoxy glucose-positron emission tomography interpreted according to the Deauville scoring system. Most relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma patients chemosensitive to salvage should receive high-dose therapy and autologous stem-cell transplantation as standard. Efforts should be made to increase the proportion of chemosensitive patients by alternating non-cross-resistant chemotherapy lines or exploring the role of novel drugs.

Abstract
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a relatively chemosensitive malignancy. However, for those who relapse, high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplant is the treatment of choice which relies on adequate disease control with salvage chemotherapy. Regimens commonly used often require inpatient administration and can be difficult to deliver due to toxicity. Gemcitabine and cisplatin have activity in HL, non-overlapping toxicity with first-line chemotherapeutics, and may be delivered in an outpatient setting. In this retrospective single-centre analysis, patients with relapsed or refractory HL treated with gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m(2) day (D)1, D8 and D15; methylprednisolone 1,000 mg D1-5; and cisplatin 100 mg/m(2) D15, every 28 days (GEM-P) were included. Demographic, survival, response and toxicity data were recorded. Forty-one eligible patients were identified: median age 27. One hundred and twenty-two cycles of GEM-P were administered in total (median 3 cycles; range 1-6). Twenty of 41 (48 %) patients received GEM-P as second-line treatment and 11/41 (27 %) as third-line therapy. Overall response rate (ORR) to GEM-P in the entire cohort was 80 % (complete response (CR) 37 %, partial response 44 %) with 14/15 CR confirmed as a metabolic CR on PET and ORR of 85 % in the 20 second-line patients. The most common grade 3/4 toxicities were haematological: neutropenia 54 % and thrombocytopenia 51 %. Median follow-up from the start of GEM-P was 4.5 years. Following GEM-P, 5-year progression-free survival was 46 % (95 % confidence interval (CI), 30-62 %) and 5-year overall survival was 59 % (95 % CI, 43-74 %). Fourteen of 41 patients proceeded directly to autologous transplant. GEM-P is a salvage chemotherapy with relatively high response rates, leading to successful transplantation in appropriate patients, in the treatment of relapsed or refractory HL.

Abstract
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) prognostic models based on factors measured at time of autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) are limited by small sample sizes. Models based on information at diagnosis are often not uniformly collected or available at transplantation. We propose an easily implementable prognostic model for progression-free survival (PFS) post-AHCT based on factors available at transplantation in a large international cohort of HL patients. The outcomes of 728 AHCT recipients for relapsed/refractory HL were studied. Patients were randomly selected for model development (n = 337) and validation (n = 391). The multivariate model identified 4 major adverse risk factors at the time of AHCT with the following relative weights: Karnofsky performance score <90 and chemotherapy resistance at AHCT were each assigned 1 point, whereas at least 3 chemotherapy regimens pre-AHCT and extranodal disease at AHCT were each assigned 2 points. Based on the total score summed for the 4 adverse risk factors, 3 risk groups were identified: low (score = 0), intermediate (score = 1 to 3), or high (score = 4 to 6). The 4-year PFS for the low- (n = 176), intermediate- (n = 261), and high- (n = 283) risk groups were 71% (95% confidence interval [CI], 63% to 78%), 60% (95% CI, 53% to 66%), and 42% (95% CI, 36% to 49%), respectively. The prognostic model was validated in an independent cohort. The Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research model is based on factors easily available at the time of AHCT and discriminates patients with favorable post-AHCT outcomes as well as an intermediate-risk group. This model should assist in the prospective evaluation of alternative treatment strategies.

Abstract
Although chemotherapy combined with G-CSF is an effective method for hematopoietic stem cell mobilization, standard chemotherapy protocol leading to best stem cell yield is not defined. In our study, we aimed to assess the impact of chemotherapy choice on mobilization outcome in lymphoma patients. Patients were mobilized with cyclophosphamide (n:15), ASHAP (n:11) or VGEPP (n:12) protocols. Groups were similar according to collected CD34+ cell count, total nucleated cell count and median apheresis days. Five out of fifteen (33%) patients could not be mobilized in Cy group but there was only one failed mobilization attempt in both salvage groups (9% with ASHAP vs 8% with VGEPP). In conclusion, we showed that VGEPP and ASHAP are safe protocols in terms of stem cell mobilization and have similar mobilization capacity as cyclophosphamide alone.

Abstract
The role of radiation therapy in the treatment of pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma has continued to be refined, motivated by the desire to avoid disruption to normal tissue development and function and secondary carcinogenesis. Such progress has occurred in tandem with modifications of the multiagent chemotherapy regimens that have been used in place of or in combination with low-dose involved-field radiation that are also associated with dose-related risks of cardiopulmonary and gonadal dysfunction and leukemogenesis. Consequently, treatment strategies for young patients, who have an excellent prognosis of long-term survival, utilizes a risk-adapted approach that provides optimal efficacy for disease control whereas limiting toxicity associated with both radiation and chemotherapy. Because of the differences in age-related developmental status and gender-related sensitivity to chemotherapy and radiation toxicity, no single treatment approach is ideal for all pediatric patients. This manuscript summarizes results from published clinical trials with the goal of defining optimal treatment strategies for children and adolescents with Hodgkin lymphoma in regards to the use of radiation therapy.
