Abstract

Since the improvement of chemotherapy and innovation of rituximab, about 60% of patientswith diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) could receive long-term survival after firstline therapy.Around 30% fail to respond or experience relapse considered as the relapsed/refractory DLBCL, the highdosechemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) hasbeen used as the second-line treatment. However, the patients relapse after auto-HSCT or not eligible forthe auto-HSCT have a poor prognosis. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) isthe potentially curative way in such kind of patients. In this paper, we collected the published data aboutpatients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL who underwent allo-HSCT, demonstrated the appropriate candidatefor allo-HSCT, identified the effect of the donor types on the recipients, presented the major conditioningregimens for allo-HSCT and figured out the outcomes of each conditioning regimen. We also triedto identify the prognostic factors on the outcome which might shed some light on the further clinical application.
