Efficacy and prognostic factors of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation treatment for adolescent and adult Tlymphoblastic leukemia /lymphoma: a large cohort multicenter study in China.

T lymphoblastic leukemia /lymphoma (T-ALL/LBL) is a rare and highly aggressive neoplasm of lymphoblasts. We evaluated 195 T-ALL/LBL adolescent and adult patients who received ALL-type chemotherapy alone (chemo,n = 72) or in combination with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(auto-HSCT,n = 23) or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT,n = 100) from January 2006 to September 2020 in three Chinese medical centers. 167 (85.6%) patients achieved overall response (ORR) with 138 complete response (CR) patients (70.8%) and 29 partial response (PR) patients (14.8%). Until October 1, 2023, no difference was found in 5-year overall survival (5-OS) and 5-year progression free survival(5-PFS) between allo-HSCT and auto-HSCT (5-OS 57.9% vs. 36.7%, P = 0.139, 5-year PFS 49.4% vs. 28.6%, P = 0.078) for patients who achieved CR, for patients who achieved PR, allo-HSCT recipients had higher 5-OS compared with chemo alone recipients (5-OS 23.8% vs. 0, P = 0.042). For patients undergoing allo-HSCT, minimal residual disease (MRD) negative population showed better 5-OS survival compared with MRD positive patients (67.8% vs. 19.6%, p = 0.000). There were no significant differences between early T-cell precursor (ETP), NON-ETP patients with or without expression of one or more myeloid-associated or stem cell-associated (M/S
