Aim: SOS/VOD is a relevant clinical syndrome that usually appears early after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The purpose of this article was to report a case series of SOS/VOD in non-susceptible patients and draw physicians' attention to the plausible relationship between liver injury and oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy, preceding autologous transplantation.
Methods: In this study, we report a case series of SOS/VOD in 4 lymphoma patients following autologous transplantation. The data were collected between July 2013 and November 2015 by analyzing patient's characteristics and outcomes.
Results: We noticed 4 severe cases of SOS with unusual presentations in patients who did exhibit few classical risk factors. These patients received R-DHAO before transplantation.
Conclusions: Physicians need to be aware that oxaliplatin-based regimen could contribute to SOS/VOD complications in hematological patients.
Keywords: Autologous transplantation; Oxaliplatin-based regimen; SOS/VOD complication.
