Aim: Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is the standard-of-care curative treatment for relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (RR-DLBCL), but the relapse rate is usually high. Materials & methods: In this study, we treated 14 RR-DLBCL patients by combining ASCT and anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy. Results: Eleven (78.57%) patients achieved complete or partial remission. Median duration of progression-free survival was 14.82 months (95% CI: 0.00-31.20 months) with 6-month progression-free survival rate of 64.29% (95% CI: 39.18-89.40%). Median overall survival was not achieved, with 1-year overall survival rate of 65.48% (95% CI: 36.00-94.96%). No neurotoxicity was observed. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated safety and feasibility of ASCT and anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell treatment for RR-DLBCL patients.

Stem Cell Therapy for Tissue Regeneration

Stem cell therapy is a method used in regenerative medicine to repair and restore function to damaged tissues and organs. Stem cells have the potential to proliferate and differentiate into various tissue types, making them ideal candidates for tissue regeneration. For example, hematopoietic stem cell transplants are commonly used in blood cancer treatment to replenish damaged bone marrow and restore healthy blood cells.

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy...
