Objective:
The efficacy of standard chemotherapy regimen on lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) is unsatisfied. This study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of modified Hyper-CVAD regimen on Chinese patients with LBL.
Methods:
Clinical records of 20 LBL patients who received modified Hyper-CVAD regimen in Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, from June 2004 to June 2008, were retrospectively analyzed in terms of response and toxicity.
Results:
By May. 2009, the median follow-up time was 17 (4-36) months. The 20 patients totally received 62 cycles regimen A and 29 cycles regimen B. 17 patients were assessable in efficacy, the total response rate (RR) was 88.2% with complete response (CR) rate of 41.2%. 15 patients received modified Hyper-CVAD regimen as first-line therapy (75.0%), and RR was 100% with CR rate of 50.0% (7/14). The RR of salvage therapy was 33% without CR achieved. The major toxicity was myelosuppression, the incidence of grades 3-4 neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and anemia was 95.0%, 75.0% and 40.0%, respectively. No treatment-related death was observed.
Conclusions:
Modified Hyper-CVAD regimen was a promising regimen for the patients with LBL, and toxicity was within acceptable limits.
