ABSTRACT<br />

The value of high dose chemotherapy with haematological stem cell rescue<br />

is not yet determined in the treatment of low grade Non Hodgkin's lymphoma.<br />

We report herein, results of a "France Autogreffe" retrospective study about 42<br />

patients grafted in first partial remission (n=13) or chemosensitive relapse (n=29)<br />

for follicular lymphoma before January 1990. The median age was 38 years<br />

(range 26-61). Preparative regimen was pure chemotherapy in 22 patients and<br />

TBI-containing regimen in 20 patients. Thirty-seven patients received marrow<br />

hematopoietic stem cells. <strong>Bone</strong> marrow purging was performed in 15 patients.<br />

Five patients received peripheral blood stem cells.<br />

Three patients died from transplantation toxicity and two others died in CR<br />

ten months after <strong>Autologous</strong> <strong>Bone</strong> <strong>Marrow</strong> <strong>Transplantation</strong> (ABMT). With a<br />

median follow up of 43 months, relapse free survival is 60 %, event free survival<br />

58 % and overall survival 83 %.<br />

Follicular lymphoma is relatively common non Hodgkin's lymphoma. Median<br />

survival of advanced stage subgroup ranges from 5 to 10 years
