High-dose therapy with autologous stem cell transplantation in first response in mantle cell lymphoma

Abstract

We retrospectively investigated the outcome of 30 newly diagnosed patients with mantle cell lymphoma treated with high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation in first response. With a median follow-up of 55 months, the 5-year overall-survival is 62%, the 5-year progression-free-survival is 40% and no secondary malignancy has occurred.
