Thiotepa, Etoposide, Cyclophosphamide, Cytarabine, and Melphalan (TECAM) Conditioning Regimen for Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in Lymphoma

Conclusion Our results are encouraging and justify evaluation of TECAM versus BEAM (carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, melphalan) in a prospective multicenter study in a large homogenous patient population. Micro-Abstract High-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is the current standard of care for relapsed lymphoma. We retrospectively analyzed the data from 212 lymphoma patients who had undergone ASCT with the TECAM conditioning regimen. The 3-year overall survival, progression-free survival, and death resulting from treatment were comparable to those reported with other conditioning regimens. Our results justify evaluation of TECAM in a prospective multicenter study
