ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to retrospectively analyze and compare the clinical curative efficacy of patients with hematologic malignancies after G-CSF-mobilized sibling HLA-matched (sm) peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (sm-allo-PBHSCT) and sm-allo-PBHSCT combined with bone marrow transplantation (BMT). 100 patients received sm-allo-HSCT in a single center from October 2001 to October to 2010, included 38 patients received sm-allo-PBHSCT and 62 patients received sm-allo-PBHSCT combined with BMT. The myeloablative or reduced intensity conditioning regimens were chosen according to the condition of patients. All patients received standard cyclosporine (CsA) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) as prophylaxis for GVHD. The results showed that the rapid hematopoietic reconstitution was observed in all patients. The median time of ANC ≥ 0.5 × 10(9)/L in both groups were 12 days, the median time of platelet count ≥ 20 × 10(9)/L was 15 days in sm-allo-PBHSCT group and 16 days in sm-allo-PBHSCT + BMT group. The incidence of acute GVHD, acute GVHD of III-IV grade and chronic GVHD in sm-allo-PBHSCT and sm-allo-PBHSCT + BMT groups were 37.1% and 34.2%, 7.89% and 8.06%, 36.11% and 41.38% respectively, there were no statistical differences. The relapse rates were similar in two groups (sm-allo-PBHSCT 13.16% vs sm-allo-PBHSCT + BMT 12.9%). The 3-year disease-free survivals in sm-allo-PBHSC and sm-allo-PBHSCT + BMT groups were 57.1 ± 8.7% and 61.3 ± 6.4% respectively (p = 0.852). The 2-year overall survival of high-risk patients was 41.4 ± 12.8% in sm-allo-PBHSCT group, while 60.9 ± 9.6% in sm-allo-PBHSCT + BMT group (p = 0.071). It is concluded that the rhG-CSF mobilized sibling matched allo-PBHSCT + BMT is superior to the rhG-CSF mobilized sibling matched allo-PBHSCT in increasing the overall survival of high-risk hematologic malignancies.
