Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is an effective treatment strategy for mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL) demonstrating significantly prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) when compared to interferon-alpha maintenance therapy of patients in first remission. The study of absolute lymphocyte count at day 15 (ALC-15) after ASCT as a prognostic factor in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) included different lymphoma subtypes. The relationship of ALC-15 after ASCT in MCL has not been specifically addressed. We evaluated the impact of ALC-15 recovery on survival of MCL patients undergoing ASCT. We studied 42 consecutive MCL patients who underwent ASCT at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester from 1993 to 2005. ALC-15 threshold was set at 500 cells/microl. The median follow-up after ASCT was 25 months (range, 2-106 months). The median overall survival (OS) and PFS times were significantly better for the 24 patients who achieved an ALC-15 >or=500 cells/microl compared with 18 patients with ALC-15 <500 cells/microl (not reached vs 30 months, P<0.01 and not reached vs 16 months, P<0.0006, respectively). Multivariate analysis demonstrated ALC-15 to be an independent prognostic factor for OS and PFS. The ALC-15 >or=500 cells/microl is associated with a significantly improved clinical outcome following ASCT in MCL.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008212 Lymphocyte Depletion Immunosuppression by reduction of circulating lymphocytes or by T-cell depletion of bone marrow. The former may be accomplished in vivo by thoracic duct drainage or administration of antilymphocyte serum. The latter is performed ex vivo on bone marrow before its transplantation. Depletion, Lymphocyte
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
