Abstract
© 2017 Elsevier Ltd Nephrotoxicity is a well-known side effect of platinum-based chemotherapy. We retrospectively assessed the incidence and prognostic impact of nephrotoxicity with ESHAP rescue chemotherapy in 74 lymphoma patients (61 aggressive lymphomas). A higher incidence of nephrotoxicity (estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min) was found when ESHAP was administred on an outpatient vs. inpatient basis (14/39 vs. 4/35). Patients submitted to ASCT with renal failure had a lower overall survival (OS) than those with normal renal function (2-yr OS probability [95%CI]: 88% [77%–99%] vs. 50% [22%–78%]). Outpatient administration of ESHAP may not be optimal for all patients and the impact of ESHAP-induced renal failure on ASCT outcomes in lymphoma needs to be assessed in prospective studies.
