| Abstract |
Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTL) is a rare disease with a poor prognosis. The long-term effect of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) on ENKTL has been reported occasionally but needs further investigation. In this retrospective study from a single center, 20 ENKTL patients who received induction chemotherapy followed by auto-HSCT ± involved-field radiotherapy (IFRT) ± additional chemotherapy were enrolled as a study group. Another 60 fit ENKTL patients who received induction chemotherapy ± IFRT ± additional chemotherapy were selected as the control group. Baseline characteristics of all patients were well balanced. Our analysis showed that after a median follow-up time of 61.0 months (95% CI 52.3-69.7), the auto-HSCT treated group showed better overall survival (OS) than the control group (p = 0.045). The median OS of the auto-HSCT-treated group was not reached, but that of the control group was 62.0 months. Five-year comparison of OS between the two groups also showed a significant difference (79.3 vs. 52.3%, p = 0.026). We suggest that auto-HSCT treatment, in combination with chemoradiotherapy, may prolong OS and improve the long-term outcomes of fit patients with ENKTL compared to treatment with chemoradiotherapy alone. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 September 2017.
All research outputs
#18,569,430
of 22,999,744 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Hematology
#927
of 1,412 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#242,040
of 315,743 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Hematology
#7
of 19 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,999,744 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,412 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.7. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 315,743 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 19 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
