Abstract
Treatment intensification was considered a suitable strategy to increase the cure rate of lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) in children. The AIEOP LNH-97 trial was run between 1997 and 2007 for newly diagnosed LBL in patients aged less than 18 years. Treatment schedule was based on the previous, LSA2-L2 derived, AIEOP LNH-92 protocol. Modifications included: increased dose of upfront cyclophosphamide and methotrexate, use of l-Asparaginase during induction therapy, intensive block therapy for slow responders, and late intensification ("Reinduction") for patients with advanced stage disease. Total therapy duration was 12 months for stage I and II, and 24 months for stage III and IV. Central nervous system prophylaxis did not include cranial irradiation. 114 eligible patients were enrolled, 84 males and 30 females; median age was 9 years. Complete remission was obtained in 98% of patients. After a median follow-up time of seven years, 29 patients failed due to progression of disease (n = 2), relapse (n = 25), or second malignancy (n = 2). The 7-year overall survival was 82% (standard error [SE] 4%) and the 7-year event-free survival was 74% (SE 4%). No subgroup showed significantly different event free survival. None of the patients d...Continue Reading
