Objective:

To determine the long-term efficacy and late clinical complications associated with an intensive chemo-immunotherapy program in adult patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), with a focus on survival outcomes.

Key Findings:
  • 85% of patients achieved complete or unconfirmed complete response at the end of treatment.
  • 7-year overall survival (OS) rate was 67%, significantly influenced by MIPI risk scores.
  • 7-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate was 53.2%, also significantly influenced by MIPI scores.
Interpretation:

Intensive chemo-immunotherapy with autograft significantly improves long-term survival in MCL patients, with MIPI scores being critical prognostic factors that should be considered in clinical practice.

Limitations:
  • Retrospective design may introduce bias, potentially affecting the reliability of the findings.
  • Lack of maintenance therapy post-treatment could impact long-term outcomes and warrants further investigation.
Conclusion:

The study demonstrates that intensive upfront chemo-immunotherapy with autograft can lead to prolonged survival and potential cure in MCL patients, emphasizing the importance of prognostic scoring and the need for ongoing research.
