Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) mismatches in stem cell transplantation can be well-tolerated with the use of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) for graft-versus-host-disease (GvHD) prophylaxis. Haploidentical (Haplo) and HLA-mismatched unrelated donors become acceptable donors. This review focuses on Haplo and unrelated donor selection in the context of PTCy-transplant for hematological malignancy, in comparison with conventional GvHD prophylaxis.
