Published: February 2011

Six hundred and fifteen centers from 45 countries reported a total 30,293 HSCT to this 2008 EBMT survey with 26,810 first transplants (40% allogeneic, 60% autologous). This corresponds to an increase of 7% for the allogeneic and 3% for the autologous HSCT. Main indications were leukemias (32%; 89% allogeneic); lymphomas (56%; 89% autologous); solid tumors (6%; 96% autologous); and non-malignant disorders (6%; 88% allogeneic). There were more unrelated than HLA-identical sibling donors (49 vs 46%). The proportion of peripheral blood transplants remained stable with 99% for autologous and 70% for allogeneic HSCT. One fifth of the teams with >80 HSCT performed more than half of all HSCT. This trend towards teams with higher numbers of HSCT was stronger for allogeneic (Gini coefficient 57%) than for autologous HSCT (Gini coefficient 38%). Transplant rates (number of transplants per 10 million inhabitants) increased in a close to linear way with increasing team density (number of transplant teams per 10 million inhabitants) and without saturation (R(2)=0.54); this connection was even stronger for allogeneic HSCT (R(2)=0.67). These data illustrate status and trends for HSCT in Europe. They provide a rational basis for planning and patient counseling.

Purpose: This study compared the outcomes of haploidentical-related donor (HRD) and umbilical cord blood (UCB) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies.

Methods: Data on patients who underwent HRD HSCT with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (n = 41) and UCB HSCT (n = 24) after targeted busulfan-based myeloablative conditioning with intensive pharmacokinetic monitoring between 2009 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.

Results: The median follow-up durations in the HRD and UCB groups were 7.

Background And Aims: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a key therapeutic approach for pediatric patients with hematologic and non-hematologic disorders. However, post-transplant pulmonary complications remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs) are essential for the early detection of pulmonary dysfunction, yet their application in pediatric HSCT recipients has yielded inconsistent results.

Comparison of autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation, matched sibling donor hematopoietic cell transplantation, and chemotherapy in patients with favorable- and intermediate-risk acute myeloid leukemia.

Introduction: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and chemotherapy are considered potentially curative options for post-remission therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the comparative effectiveness of these approaches in favorable- and intermediate-risk AML remains unclear and requires further investigation.

Methods: In this retrospective study, 111 patients diagnosed with de novo favorable- and intermediate-risk AML, categorized according to the ELN 2022 guidelines, were investigated to compare outcomes following autologous HSCT (auto-HSCT), matched sibling donor HSCT (MSD-HSCT), and chemotherapy.

Background: With recent advances in clinical practice, including the use of reduced-toxicity conditioning regimens and innovative approaches such as ex vivo TCRαβ/CD19 depletion of haploidentical donor stem cells or post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY), hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has emerged as a curative treatment option for a growing population of patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI). However, despite these promising developments, graft failure (GF) remains a significant concern associated with HSCT in these patients. Although a second HSCT is the only established salvage therapy for patients who experience GF, there are no uniform, standardized strategies for performing these second transplants.

Introduction: CD7 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T cell) therapy is an emerging method for treating hematological malignancies, and is another breakthrough in CAR-T cell therapy.

Methods: This study summarizes the currently published clinical research results on CD7 CAR-T cells and evaluates the safety and effectiveness of CD7 CAR-T cell therapy.

Results: Among the 13 studies included in this study, a total of 200 patients received CD7 CAR-T cell therapy, including 88 patients who received autologous CAR-T cells, 112 patients who received donor derived CAR-T cells.
