Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Relapsed Refractory Multiple Myeloma.

Objectives: Allo-Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) offers a curative option for relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma in younger aged and fit patients with high-risk cytogenetic properties.

Material And Methods: This study retrospectively enrolled the medical data of 30 patients who had undergone allogeneic stem cell transplantation at the Gazi University Adult Stem Cell Transplant Unit between 2005 and 2020.

Results: Before allo-SCT, 6 (20.

Eltrombopag may induce bone marrow fibrosis in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients with prolonged thrombocytopenia.

Poor graft function (PGF) and secondary failure of platelet recovery (SFPR) are significant causes of transplant related morbidity and mortality. Although thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RA), particularly Eltrombopag (EPAG), have been reported to be efficacious in the treatment of prolonged thrombocytopenia, potential long term adverse effects remain to be elucidated. This retrospective study was performed to determine the efficacy and toxicity profile of TPO-RAs in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (alloHCT) recipients.

Hematopoietic Cell Transplant-Composite Risk (HCT-CR): A Novel Predictor of Prognosis in Acute Leukemia Patients Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.

Background: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a curable treatment modality for hematologic disorders. Transplant-related mortality remains high despite prominent scientific and technologic improvements. In consideration with the potential impact of patient- and disease-related factors on transplant outcome, this retrospective study was performed to investigate the predictive role of pretransplant HCT-composite risk (HCT-CR) score in allo-HCT recipients.

Comparison of post-remission strategies in acute myeloid leukemia: Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation consolidation chemotherapy.

Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (auto-HSCT) has become a therapeutic option for first-line consolidation in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients with favorable and intermediate risk features. A total of 101 AML patients in first complete remission, who were not eligible for allogeneic HSCT, were randomized to receive intensive cytarabine-based chemotherapy or to undergo auto-HSCT. The probability of LFS was significantly better in auto-HSCT recipients compared to chemotherapy arm (43% 4.
