A 10-year median follow-up study after allogeneic stem cell transplantation for chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase from HLA-identical sibling donors

Abstract: We report long-term outcome in 102 patients with cCML transplanted from an HLA-identical sibling donor from 1982 to 1998. The conditioning regimen was based on cyclophosphamide associated with either total body irradiation (TBI) (37 patients) or with busulfan (63 patients). Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis consisted of cyclosporin and methotrexate in the majority of the patients. Fifteen year overall survival was estimated at 53% (95% confidence interval (CI), 44-65) with a plateau after 2.5 years.… Show more

“…The ORs for non-cancer patients (the vast majority of whom were taking oral bisphosphonates) increased substantially after 5 yrs, supporting the suggestion that a drug 'vacation' after 5 yrs of treatment may be reasonable (Black et al, 2006). ONJ can occur in the setting of other diseases (Enwonwu et al, 2000;Robin et al, 2005;Sun et al, 2006) or due to iatrogenic factors (Schwartz and Kvorning, 1982;Tarassoff and Csermak, 2003;Najm et al, 2004;Talamo et al, 2005). We did find that ONJ was associated with several risk factors; however, many of these are indications for bisphosphonates, such as various cancers and osteoporosis.…”

“…Most of the studies reporting on long-term survivors are registrybased, including patients from a variety of centers with different approaches, 8,[11][12][13] some combining auto-and allo-HSCT recipients. 12,13 Some of the studies addressed specific diseases 10,17,18 others addressed specific complications. 11,13,17,19 In contrast, our study is based on large single institution experience with a consistent approach, including only allo-HSCT patients with different primary diagnoses who have extended 'in-house' follow-up allowing for detection of late death and complications.…”

“…Between 1975 and 1977, the 5-year relative survival rate of patients with CML was only 24% [1]. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation offered a potential cure for a small subset of patients; however, the risk of serious infection, graft-versus-host disease, relapse, and mortality presented substantial limitations [2,3]. The introduction of imatinib (Gleevec 1 , Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, East Hanover, NJ) in 2001 replaced interferon-a as the standard of care for CML patients, with a result of remarkable improvement in patient survival.…”
