Retrospective Study Assessing Outcomes of AYA Patients with Lymphoma Following Auto Stem Cell Transplant

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) offers a potential curative option and can prolong overall survival (OS) for many patients with Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHL). Lymphomas in the adolescent and young adult (AYA) population have had minimal improvement in lymphoma-specific survival rates over the years, especially when compared to pediatric and older populations. AYAs also are at increased risk for treatment/disease related late effects given the likelihood of longer life spans following treatment.
