CBT offers several advantages over traditional stem cell sources, such as immediate availability, absence of risk for donors, lower risk of acute graft-versus-host disease, and a less stringent requirement for human leukocyte antigen matching....
متن کاملUnrelated cord blood transplantation for adult patients with myelodysplastic syndrome-related secondary acute myeloid leukaemia.
Seven adult patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)-related secondary acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) were treated with total body irradiation (TBI), cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) and cyclophosphamide (CY), followed by unrelated human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-mismatched cord blood transplantation (CBT). Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) was infused continuously from 12 h before unt...
متن کاملUnrelated cord blood transplantation for adult patients with advanced myelodysplastic syndrome.
We report the results of unrelated cord blood transplantation (CBT) for 13 adult patients with advanced myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The median age was 40 years, the median weight was 51 kg, and the median number of infused nucleated cells was 2.43 x 107/kg. Twelve patients had myeloid reconstitution, and the median time to more than 0.5 x 109/L (5 x 108/L) absolute neutrophil count was 22.5...
