Brief Summary
Relapsed and refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) patients may experience long-term survival after allogeneic transplant (alloSCT), but disease recurrence represents the main cause of treatment failure. PET (positron-emission tomography) -positive patients after alloSCT have a dismal outcome. Serum TARC (thymus and activation-regulated chemokine) is produced by Reed-Sternberg cells and may be a marker of disease. Our study was aimed at assessing whether TARC levels after alloSCT were correlated to disease status and whether TARC monitoring could increase the ability to predict relapse.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Correlation between disease status and serum TARC level
Serum TARC level was measured before alloSCT in Hodgkin's lymphoma patients and after alloSCT. The median time interval after alloSCT was 47 days. PFS was estimated at one year based on TARC value.
One year after transplant
Secondary Outcomes (1)
The correlation between TARC levels and PET results after alloSCT
Before alloSCT, monthly during the first 6 months after alloSCT and every 2 months until 2 years of follow-up, then at the time of clinical check-up (usually every 6 months)
Study Arms (1)
no treatment

Eligibility Criteria
This study included 22 consecutive Hodgkin's lymphoma patients who underwent an alloSCT at Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori and who were monitored by PET and TARC before and after alloSCT.
You may qualify if:
- Hodgkin's lymphoma patients who underwent an alloSCT at Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori and who were monitored by PET and TARC before and after alloSCT from 2009
You may not qualify if:
- Hodgkin's lymphoma patients who underwent an alloSCT who were not monitored by PET or/and TARC
