目的 探讨慢性移植物抗宿主病(cGVHD)对造血干细胞移植(HSCT)后急性髓系白血病(AML)患者复发及生存的影响.方法 回顾性分析接受异基因外周血HSCT的55例发生cGVHD及未发生cGVHD的AML患者复发及生存情况.结果 cGVHD组移植后2年内的AML复发率显著低于未发生cGVHD组(8.7%对38.6%,P=0.019),而2年后远期复发率与对照组比较差异无统计学意义(22.8%对5.9%,P=0.217);移植后2年内的生存率差异无统计学意义(78.3%、61.0%,P=0.155),远期生存率cGVHD组明显降低(63.7%对100%,P=0.011).在难治复发的高危AML患者中,cGVHD组与未发生cGVHD组比较,移植后2年内AML复发率低(8.3%对46.2%,P=0.044),生存率高(83.3%对47.2%,P=0.045);在中低危AML患者中,有或无cGVHD其复发率及生存率均无显著变化(P=0.266,P=0.289).局限型及广泛型cGVHD患者中,移植后复发率分别为27.3%和31.3%,较未发生cGVHD患者复发率(42.2%)均下降;但广泛型cGVHD患者远期生存率降低(53.3%,P=0.001).结论 cGVHD降低AML复发的保护作用主要发生在移植后早期(2年),尤其使得难治复发的高危AML患者受益;而在移植晚期,cGVHD尤其广泛型cGVHD与移植相关死亡率相关,明显降低远期生存率.
Objective To explore the influence of relapse and survival by chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) after allogeneic hematopoietics stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Methods Fifty-five AML patients received allo-HSCT were retrospectively reviewed.Relapse rate and overall survival (OS) were analyzed according to cGVHD.Results cGVHD significantly decreased the relapse rate of AML patients after transplantation within 2 years when compared with those without cGVHD (8.7% vs 38.6%,P=0.019),however,cGVHD had no effect on the long-term relapse rate (22.8% vs 5.9%,P=0.217).cGVHD had no effect on OS within 2 years (78.3% vs 61.0%,P=0.155) but could decrease the rate of long-term survival (63.7% vs 100%,P=0.01).cGVHD also could reduce the rate of relapse (8.3% vs 46.2%,P=0.044) and enhanced the rate of survival (83.3% vs 47.2%,P=0.045) in patients with high risk AML after allo-HSCT in 2 years,while it had no effect on the relapse rate and OS in patients with low and intermediated risk AML in early and late phase.Moreover,compared with the rate of relapse (38.6%) in patients without cGVHD,the rate of relapse were lower in patients with limited cGVHD and intensive cGVHD (27.3% and 31.3%,respectively) but the long-term survival was significantly lower (53.3%,P=0.001) in those patients with intensive cGVHD after all-HSCT.Conclusion The benefit effect of cGVHD mainly took place within 2 years after allo-HSCT in AML patients especially in those with high risk,while in late phase after allo-HSCT,cGVHD especially intensive cGVHD had an effect on reducing long-term survival.
