Abstract

Objectives: This study investigated the possible prognostic factors for the long-term survival (Cure Rate) of Hodgkin Lymphoma patients who underwent HSCT. Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed 116 Patients diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma who received autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Auto-HSCT) between the years 2007 and 2014 and followed up until 2017. The information regarding patients’ survival had been collected using phone calls, and their pre-transplant information was available in the archived documents. Prognostic effects were investigated using long-term survival models. Results: Patients with obesity had five times higher odds of long-term survival (cure) than the others (P=0.06). Also, the recurrence experience after HSCT negatively impacted the curing potential by 78% (P=0.05). Also, with 32 years as the change point, patients younger than 32 had 76% fewer odds of surviving long-term (P=0.03), and Poor transfused stem cell dose of CD34+ (<0.16 × 106 cells/ml) reduced the odds of long-term survival by 92% (P=0.01). Conclusion: According to the statistical models used in this study, obesity can increase the curing potential of Hodgkin lymphoma after transplantation. Meanwhile, aging, poor transfused CD34+ cells, and recurrence after HSCT were associated with lower survival following HSCT. © 2023, Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention. All Rights Reserved.
