Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is an established treatment strategy in steroid-refractory graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). This study's main objective was to analyze the clinical response and impact of ECP therapy in steroid dose reduction. A retrospective observational series of 113 patients from 7 transplantation centers was analyzed.

- Overall survival (OS) is the most important measure for checking how well stem cell transplants work for people with follicular lymphoma (FL), but it can be hard to assess because the disease can take a long time to progress.
- Researchers looked at two earlier measures, progression-free survival at 24 months (PFS24) and complete response at 30 months (CR30) after transplant, to see if they could help predict overall survival.
- They found that if patients didn’t do well within 24 months or didn’t show a complete response by 30 months, they were likely to have worse overall survival, showing these measures could help guide treatments better.
