Abstract
Patients with advanced-stage Hodgkin lymphoma treated with ABVD who have a positive interim FDG-PET (iPET) have a poor prognosis. Escalation to BEACOPP has been shown to improve progression-free survival (PFS). However, randomized trials are lacking to determine the best strategy for intensification. We report on A-AVD escalation treatment outcomes for 15 iPET-positive patients post-ABVD. Overall response and complete response rates were 80% and 60%, respectively. Four patients underwent salvage therapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation. At a median 17-month follow-up, all patients are alive, 87% in complete remission, and 1-year PFS was 57.8%. For patients ineligible for BEACOPP due to age, comorbidities, or preference, A-AVD escalation may be a viable alternative.
期刊介绍:
Hematological Oncology considers for publication articles dealing with experimental and clinical aspects of neoplastic diseases of the hemopoietic and lymphoid systems and relevant related matters. Translational studies applying basic science to clinical issues are particularly welcomed. Manuscripts dealing with the following areas are encouraged:
-Clinical practice and management of hematological neoplasia, including: acute and chronic leukemias, malignant lymphomas, myeloproliferative disorders
-Diagnostic investigations, including imaging and laboratory assays
-Epidemiology, pathology and pathobiology of hematological neoplasia of hematological diseases
-Therapeutic issues including Phase 1, 2 or 3 trials as well as allogeneic and autologous stem cell transplantation studies
-Aspects of the cell biology, molecular biology, molecular genetics and cytogenetics of normal or diseased hematopoeisis and lymphopoiesis, including stem cells and cytokines and other regulatory systems.
Concise, topical review material is welcomed, especially if it makes new concepts and ideas accessible to a wider community. Proposals for review material may be discussed with the Editor-in-Chief. Collections of case material and case reports will be considered only if they have broader scientific or clinical relevance.
