Abstract:
Objective To study the clinical features, therapeutic effects, survival time, and prognosis of patents with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Methods Clinical data of 98 MCL patients admitted from January 2005 to December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.
Results The median age was 61 years old, and the male-to-female ratio was 2.9:1. Among these cases, 85 (86.8%) were in Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, 46 (46.9%) had bone marrow involvement, 25 (25.5%) had digestive tract involvement, and 53 chose R-CHOP as first-line treatment. The expected 3-year overall survival (OS) of these patients was only 61.4%. A total of 14 cases were treated with R-CHOP followed by ASCT. The expected 5-year OS was 92.3%, and the OS of the ASCT group was significantly higher than that of the R-CHOP group (75.5 months vs. 43.6 months, P=0.039). Elevated ESR, >60 years old, increased LDH level, B symptoms, and Ki-67≥25% were poor prognostic factors.
Conclusion Most patients with MCL were elder adults with bone marrow involvement. R-CHOP followed by ASCT had better clinical efficacy than conventional chemotherapy in the treatment of MCL
