Abstract:
The aim of this article is to report a comprehensive clinical outcome of adult autologous stem cell transplantation in a single center. All adult patients who underwent autologous stem cell transplantation were included. The data were analyzed retrospectively, describing patients according to their characteristics including age, gender, diagnosis and risk class, disease status per transplantation, conditioning regimens, and treatment outcomes including: Response post-transplant, 2-year overall survival (OS) and 2-year disease free survival (DFS). 43 patients received autologous stem cell transplantations between February 2010 and October 2013, including 27 males and 16 females. The median age at transplantation was 36 years. The 2-year OS was 85% and the DFS was 75%. Six (14%) patients died after transplantation and 37 (86%) are still alive. The median time for neutrophils and platelets engraftment was 12 days and 11 days respectively. The 2-year OS for the HL patients (n=25) was 84%, and the DFS was 81%. The 2-year OS for the MM patients (n=9) was 100% and the DFS was 65%. HL is the commonest indication for autologous SCT in our study followed by MM. The results reported here indicate that the clinical outcomes are comparable to international results.
