Zdravljenje diseminiranega plazmocitoma na Kliničnem oddelku za hematologijo UKC Ljubljana z avtologno presaditvijo krvotvornih matičnih celic v letih 2014 in 2015.

Abstract

Introduction. In the period from 01.01.2014 to 31.12.2015 at Clinical Department of Hematology, University Medical Centre Ljubljana, we treated 73 multiple myeloma patients with first autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).Methods and results. Age of patients ranged from 27 to 72 years with the median age of 60 years. Induction treatment at the time of diagnosis consisted of: VD (bortezomib, dexamethasone) 60/73 patients (82%), VCD (bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, dexamethasone) 10/73 patients (14%) and VTD (bortezomib, thalidomide, dexamethasone) 3/73 (5%) patients. As part of induction therapy, patients received from 1 to 9 cycles of treatment. Response to induction therapy prior to HSC(hematopoietic stem cells) collection was as follows: CR(complete remission )7/73(10%), VGPR (very good partial response) 28/73(38%), PR (partial response) 23/ 73(32%), SD (stable disease) 11/73(15%) andPD (progressive disease) 4/73(5%) patients. Response to induction therapy immediately prior to autologous HSCT: CR9/73 (12%), VGPR32/73 (44%), PR17/73(23%), SD 8/73(11%) and PD6/73(8%) patients. Response to induction therapy and the first autologous HSCT at D+100 after HSCT: CR9/67 (13%), VGPR 34/67 (51%), PR 12/67 (18%), SD 3/67 (4 %) and PD 7/67 (10%) patients (in 6 patients data are missing, because they are not mature yet). With single HSCT 63 patients were treated, while 10 patients received double or second HSCT. The overall mortality of patients treated during the period from 01.01.2014 to 31.12. 2015 was 6/73 or 8.2%.Conclusions. The treatment of multiple myeloma with autologous HSCT remains the cornerstone of efficiency,as demonstrated by the increasing share of the most desired responses to treatment, ie. CR and VGPR. The treatment mortality rate was within expectation limits.
