Article Synopsis
- Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) has poor treatment outcomes, but allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (allo-SCT) shows promise, despite limited data.
- In a study involving 100 ATLL patients, 17 underwent allo-SCT with notable improvements in 3-year progression-free survival (31%) and overall survival (35%), compared to autologous SCT (ASCT) which had a higher relapse incidence.
- Factors such as achieving a complete response, a high Karnofsky score, and ethnicity influenced survival outcomes, indicating that allo-SCT may offer long-term survival benefits for select ATLL patients.
