description PURPOSEPublished experience with autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) from the Indian subcontinent is extremely limited. Here, we describe the activity and outcomes of this treatment modality at a large tertiary care center in India.PATIENTS AND METHODSWe retrospectively analyzed adult patients with NHL who were eligible for ASCT and autografted between January 1, 2002, and December 15, 2020, at our transplant unit. Toxicities, complications, and long-term outcomes were compared between patients who underwent transplant during 2002-2012 (group A) and 2013-2020 (group B).RESULTSOverall, 80 patients (group A, n = 37; group B, n = 43) underwent ASCT using peripheral blood stem cells. At a median follow-up of 57.6 months, the 5-year event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were 43.5% and 47.6%, respectively, for all patients. More recently (group B), patients had reduced 100-day transplant-related mortality (2.3% v 21.6%, P < .01), improved 3-year EFS (52.9% v 37.3%, P = .04), and superior OS (at 3-year; 63.4% v 43.2%, P = .02). Patients in group B also tolerated the procedure better, with improved resource utilization. In multivariate analysis, an International Prognostic Index (IPI) ≥ 3 at diagnosis adversely affected EFS (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.82, P = .009) and OS (HR = 2.84, P = .01) after ASCT. Low pretransplant serum albumin levels were associated with inferior EFS (HR = 2.68, P = .02) and transplant-related mortality (odds ratio = 10.80, P = .02) after ASCT.CONCLUSIONIt is feasible to achieve comparable short- and long-term outcomes in patients with NHL undergoing ASCT in a resource-poor country with improved supportive care and expertise of the transplant team and center.
