Clinical outcomes of unrelated donor umbilical cord blood transplantation for 30 adults with hematological malignancies.
BACKGROUND Umbilical cord blood transplantation (CBT) has increasingly been used as a therapeutic option for adult patients for whom allogeneic stem-cell transplantation is not indicated, due to the availability of cord blood. However, myeloablative conditioning regimens are associated with significant mortality, and high relapse rates in reduced-intensity regimens may result in a poor rate of ...
متن کاملOutcomes after Unrelated Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation for Children with Osteopetrosis.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only curative treatment for most children with osteopetrosis (OP). Timing of HSCT is critical; therefore, umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) is an attractive option. We analyzed outcomes after UCBT in 51 OP children. Median age at UCBT was 6 months. Seventy-seven percent of the cord blood grafts had 0 or 1 HLA disparity with the rec...
متن کاملUnrelated donor hematopoietic cell transplantation: marrow or umbilical cord blood?
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) can be curative for selected malignant and nonmalignant diseases.1-13 However, utilization and success of HCT are limited by several obstacles, primarily related to the importance of donor-recipient genetic match for favorable outcomes. While in most settings, best results are offered by human leukocyte antigen (HLA)14,15–identical sibling transplantatio...
متن کاملUnrelated umbilical cord blood transplantation in children and adults.
Umbilical cord blood (UCB) has recently been explored as an alternative haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) source for allogeneic immunotherapy in both adults and paediatric patients with haematological malignancies and marrow failure syndromes. The relative ease of procurement, tolerance of 1-2 antigen human-leukocyte antigen (HLA) mismatch and the lower than anticipated risk of severe graft-versus...
متن کاملInfectious Complications after Umbilical Cord-Blood Transplantation from Unrelated Donors
Umbilical cord-blood (UCB) is a well-recognized alternative source of stem cells for unrelated donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). As compared with other stem cell sources from adult donors, it has the advantages of immediate availability of cells, absence of risk to the donor and reduced risk of graft-versus-host disease despite donor-recipient HLA disparity. However, the use...
