Cord Blood Transplantation Provided Long-term Remission in a Case of Adult T-cell Leukemia-lymphoma (ATL) with Myelofibrosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 53-year-old man was diagnosed with adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL) acute type transformed from chronic type. A bone marrow analysis showed diffuse infiltration of abnormal lymphocytes and diffuse fibrotic change. He received unrelated cord blood transplantation (CBT) following reduced-intensity conditioning with complete remission of ATL after two courses of chemotherapy and achieved neutrophil and platelet engraftment. At 99 days after CBT, a bone marrow biopsy showed apparent resolution of myelofibrosis. These results suggest the therapeutic potential of CBT for patients with chemosensitive ATL with myelofibrosis.

Survival of patients with multiple myeloma has improved substantially because of availability of new therapies including autotransplants, immunomodulating drugs and proteasome-inhibitors. Second primary cancers have emerged as an important determinant of morbidity and mortality among cancer survivors. Even though there is an increased risk of new cancers of the lymphoreticular and haematopoetic...

A 61-year-old woman with chronic-type adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL) had been taking low-dose oral etoposide for progressive lymphocytosis. After taking this for 3.5 years, she was diagnosed with therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML), with a chromosomal translocation of t (6:11) (q27; q23). She thus received remission induction therapy, consolidation therapy, and allogeneic hemat...
متن کاملFeasibility of cord blood transplantation in chemosensitive adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma: a retrospective analysis of the Nagasaki Transplantation Network.
It has been reported that cord blood transplantation (CBT) for patients with aggressive adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) results in poorer outcomes than transplantation using other stem cell sources. To identify a subset of ATL in which CBT is feasible, we retrospectively analyzed 27 patients treated with CBT at three institutions in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. The estimated overall surviva...

Adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL) is an intractable mature T-cell neoplasm. We performed a nationwide retrospective study of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for ATL in Japan, with special emphasis on the effects of the preconditioning regimen. This is the largest study of ATL patients receiving HSCT. Median overall survival (OS) and 3-year OS of bone marrow or perip...

The study of tumor viruses paves the way for understanding the mechanisms of virus pathogenesis, including those involved in establishing infection and dissemination in the host tumor affecting immune-compromised patients. The processes ranging from viral infection to progressing malignancy are slow and usually insufficient for establishment of transformed cells that develop cancer in only ...
