自体外周血造血干细胞移植治疗55例急性髓系白血病患者的疗效及预后分析

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcome of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) received autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (APBSCT) in complete remission (CR), and to study the prognostic factors. METHODS: 55 cases of AML who underwent APBSCT in CR between 2008 and 2014 were retrospectively investigated. Major end points of study included overall survival (OS), disease free survival (DFS), relapse rate and transplantation related mortality. RESULTS: The median follow-up time was 1 091(20–3 024) days after transplantation. The 3-year OS and DFS rates were 77.1% (95%CI 71.2%–83.8%), 73.7% (95%CI 67.2%–80.3%), respectively. 3-year DFS for patients needed less than 200 days to attain minimal residual disease (MRD) ≤0.03% was significantly higher than that of patients required 200 days or more (88.9% vs 46.9%, P=0.042). 3-year DFS for patients with constant MRD negative 90.0% was greater than that of the remaining group 61.1%, but the difference was insignificant (P=0.090). A multivariate analysis of risk factors for relapse identified days from diagnosis to MRD negative was the only independent factor [RR=0.022 (95% CI 0.001–0.604), P=0.024]. CONCLUSION: The results suggested that most AML patients in CR obtained long-term DFS after APBSCT, and continuous monitoring minimal residual disease could be used to evaluate whether adult AML patients should receive APBSCT or not.
