We studied 23 consecutive patients, median age 34 years, with relapsed or resistant aggressive lymphoma who underwent allogeneic BMT at the UCLA Medical Center Bone Marrow Transplantation Unit from 1 November 1984 to 30 March 1993. All patients were < 50 years of age and had sibling donors who were matched at the HLA-A, B and DR loci. Nine patients had Hodgkin's disease (HD) and 14 had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL); three of these had low grade histology and 11 had intermediate or high grade lymphoma histology. After a median follow-up of 34 months, eight patients are alive, seven without recurrent lymphoma. Five patients had early deaths. The disease-free survival for the entire group is 26% with an overall survival of 29%. There was no difference in survival rate on the basis of disease or histology. Comparing preparative regimens containing TBI to those without there was no difference in survival rate (P = 0.35). Neither age nor sex was a significant determinant of outcome (P = 0.63 and 0.36, respectively). Disease status at the time of transplantation proved to be the important determinant of outcome. Patients transplanted with chemotherapy sensitive disease (n = 9), defined as a partial or complete response to salvage chemotherapy, had a survival rate of 42%, which was significantly better than those who had refractory disease at transplantation (n = 14), who had a survival rate of 21% (P = 0.006). However, this small, but significant fraction of patients with refractory disease was curable. Thus, our data demonstrate that allogeneic bone marrow transplantation is an effective means of treatment for relapsed or aggressive Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
