lüll Successful allogeneic stem-cell transplantation with prophylactic stepwise G-CSF primed-DLIs for relapse after autologous transplantation in mantle cell lymphoma: a case report and literature review on the evidence of GVL effects in MCL Sohn SK; Baek JH; Kim DH; Jung JT; Kwak DS; Park SH; Suh JS; Lee KBAm J Hematol 2000[Sep]; 65 (1): 75-80Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a distinctive clinicopathologic entity and represents 2-8% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. The median survival of patients with MCL is only 3 years, and none of the available conventional chemotherapy regimens appears curative. Encouraging results have been reported with high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem-cell transplantation (autoSCT). However, a plateau in disease-free survival was not observed in relapsed MCL on the autoSCT trials. Promisingly, alloSCT appears to induce durable remissions via a graft-versus-lymphoma (GVL) effect. Donor lymphocyte infusions (DLIs), by virtue of a GVL effect, have been shown to induce durable remissions in a few cases with refractory MCL that recur after alloSCT. In this article, we review the literature on the evidence of the GVL effects in MCL and describe a patient with relapsed MCL shortly after high-dose chemotherapy with autoSCT. The patient was then successfully treated with Bu/Cy/VP-16 for an alloSCT followed by DLIs in a stepwise fashion. MNCs > 10 x 10(8)/kg were collected by two large-volume leukaphereses from the donor. Harvested stem cells from the 2(nd) day were cryopreserved for the future use as prophylactic DLIs to be given in a stepwise fashion. Cyclosporin and methotrexate were used for GVHD prophylaxis. He had achieved only a partial response by D+64 post transplant. G-CSF-primed cryopreserved DLIs were then infused on D+64 and D+92 to enhance the GVL effect. Grade 3 intestinal GVHD developed 20 days after the 2(nd) DLI and was partially controlled with the combination of cyclosporin, prednisone, and mycophenolate mofetil. Clinical complete remission was observed at D+112, and maintained until the last follow-up day (D+615). Our findings suggest that alloSCT followed by prophylactic DLIs may offer a curative approach to refractory MCL.|*Graft vs Tumor Effect[MESH]|*Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation[MESH]|*Lymphocyte Transfusion[MESH]|Adult[MESH]|Antineoplastic Combined Chemotherapy Protocols/therapeutic use[MESH]|Blood Donors[MESH]|Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor/*pharmacology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Intestinal Neoplasms/pathology/*therapy[MESH]|Lymphoma, Mantle-Cell/pathology/*therapy[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Recurrence[MESH]|Transplantation, Homologous[MESH]|Treatment Outcome[MESH] |
