Risk Factors for Secondary MDS/AML Post Transplant • Old Age • Long interval between diagnosis and transplant • Low grade histology • Use of radiation therapy (TBI; Pelvic irradiation) • Bone marrow involvement at diagnosis • Prior fludarabine therapy • Low platelet count at the time of transplant Secondary Malignancies
Etiology of Secondary MDS/AML Post-Transplant • Prior alkylator therapy • Transplant-related factors: • - Residual damaged host cells • - Altered bone marrow microenvironment which promote growth of mutated stem cell within the reinfused marrow Secondary Malignancies

Secondary Malignancies Summary • Patients with NHL are at increased risk of second primary cancer. This risk, especially of solid tumors, remains high in long-term survivors. • The relative risk for ANLL has a wide range of 3.8-341, and for various solid tumors is up to 3.6. • The crude incidence of MDS/AML after transplant varies from 1% to 12%. The actuarial risk at 5 y is between 3% and 18%. • The excess risk of secondary malignancies is probably related to antecedent therapy and shared risk factors. Secondary Malignancies

Preservation of Fertility Males Semen cryopreservation Females In-vitro fertilization and embryo storage Ovarian tissue cryopreservation Co-treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist Gonadal Dysfunction
Gonadal Dysfunction Summary • Patients with NHL have impaired pre-treatment sperm quality, compared with that of healthy controls. However, sperm quality is higher compared with HD. • Therapy of NHL induce long-term gonadal toxicity in up to 1/3 of the patients. Thus, fertility may be preserved in the majority of patients. • Fertility may be preserved also in patients receiving dose-intensification and transplant. • High cummulative doses of cyclophosphamide and pelvic irradiation are associated with a high risk of long-term sterility.

Neurotoxicity Summary • The probability of late central neurotoxicity in patients with primary brain lymphoma is 22-32% after chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy. • Less neurotoxicity is caused by chemotherapy alone for primary brain lymphoma. • The main risk factor for the development of late neurotoxicity is age >60y. • Various drugs used for lymphoma result in central or peripheral neurotoxicity. It is usually reversible, but may be associated with prolonged sequelae. Neurotoxicity
