To explore pre-transplantation prognostic factors for adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL), we retrospectively analyzed allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in 70 patients at our institute (63 acute type and seven lymphoma type patients). Forty-five patients died after HSCT and the three-year overall survival (OS) rate was 35.2%. By univariate analysis, the adverse prognostic factors for OS were performance status >= 2, hematopoietic cell transplantation- specific comorbidity index (HCT-CI) score >= 3, European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) risk score >= 5, HSCT from an HLA-mismatched donor, serum soluble interleukin- 2 receptor (sIL-2R) level >= 10,000 U/mL, lymphocyte count >= 4000/mu L, and hemoglobin <9 g/dL at the time of HSCT. EBMT risk score and sIL-2R were identified as significant adverse prognostic factors using multivariate analysis. This analysis clearly demonstrates for the first time that HCT-CI and EBMT risk scores are reliable prognostic factors for ATL patients receiving allo-HSCT.
