Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation and Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-Cell Therapy for the Treatment of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Abstract

Despite the myriad of available treatments, a substantial subset of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma are not able to achieve a prolonged disease-free interval with conventional chemotherapy or targeted agents. For these patients, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation remains an option for consolidative or curative treatment. Additionally, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy has emerged for patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphomas. Published studies vary widely in their selected approach to transplant and cellular therapies. This review summarizes available data related to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy for the treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
