We report 904 patients undergoing transplantation for follicular lymphoma. 176 (19%) underwent allogeneic, 131 (14%) purged autologous and 597 (67%) unpurged autologous transplantation. Five-year treatment-related mortality (TRM) was 30%, 14% and 8% and five-year recurrence rate was 21%, 43% and 58% after allotransplantation, purged and unpurged autotransplantation, respectively. In multivariate analysis, allotransplantation had a fourfold increase in TRM, but a 50% decrease in recurrence. Purged autotransplant had a 26% lower recurrence risk than unpurged. Five-year probabilities of survival were 51%, 62% and 55% after allogeneic; purged and unpurged autotransplantation, respectively. Advanced age, prolonged interval from diagnosis to transplantation, high LDH, refractory disease, bone marrow involvement, low performance scores and transplantation between 1990 and 1993 were associated with adverse outcomes. Total body irradiation was associated with higher TRM but lower recurrence. There was no association between acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease and recurrence after allotransplantation. We conclude that both allogeneic and autologous transplantation can induce durable remissions. There may be a benefit to graft purging in autologous transplantation. The decreased recurrence after allotransplantation is offset by an increased TRM. We did not detect a correlation between GVHD and recurrence. Finally, outcomes of transplantation for follicular lymphoma show improvement over the past decade.
