abstract = "There are limited data on the outcomes of autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in diffuse large B cell lymphoma transformed from follicular lymphoma. We analyzed transplantation outcomes in 141 subjects with biopsy-proven diffuse large B-cell lymphoma transformed from follicular lymphoma reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research between 1990 and 2009. Two groups were identified: autologous HCT (auto-Ha; n = 108) and allogeneic HCT (allo-HCT; n = 33). Fewer auto-Has were done for transformed follicular lymphoma in 2003 to 2009, with a shift favoring allo-HCT. Auto-HCT was associated with a 1-year nonrelapse mortality (NRM) of 8\% (95\% confidence interval [CI], 4\% to 14\%), 5-year progression-free survival of 35\% (95\% CI, 26\% to 45\%), and 5-year overall survival of 50\% (95\% CI, 40\% to 59\%). In contrast, allo-HCT was associated with a 1-year NRM of 41\% (95\% CI, 23\% to 58\%), 5-year progression-free survival of 18\% (95\% CI, 6\% to 35\%), and 5-year overall survival of 22\% (95\% CI, 8\% to 41\%). Auto-HCT for transformed follicular lymphoma achieves sustained remission in a high proportion of subjects. The high NRM of allo-HCT offset any benefit that might be associated with this transplantation modality. ",
