We report the results of high-dose chemoradiotherapy and
anti-B-cell monoclonal antibody-purged autologous bone marrow
transplantation (ABMT) in patients with relapsed indolent follicular
lymphoma. Between March 1985 and May 1995, 153 patients underwent ABMT
using a uniform ablative regimen with cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation and bone marrow (BM) purging. All patients received multiple chemotherapy regimens before ABMT. At BM harvest, only 30% of
patients were in complete remission, and overt BM infiltration was
present in 47%. The disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival
(OS) are estimated to be 42% and 66% at 8 years,
respectively. Patients whose BM was negative by polymerase chain
reaction (PCR) for bcl2/IgH rearrangement after purging experienced
longer freedom from recurrence than those whose BM remained PCR
positive (P < .0001). Continued PCR negativity in follow-up
BM samples was also strongly predictive of continued complete remission
(CR). The 12-year survival from diagnosis for these 153 patients is 69%. Considering that the median survival from diagnosis
and first recurrence of patients with advanced follicular lymphoma are
8 and 5 years, respectively, our results provide evidence that
myeloablative therapy and ABMT may prolong overall survival.
