Although allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) yields a high rate of curability for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), it is also associated with transplant-related morbidity and mortality (TRM). The risk and severity of TRM increase with the use of an alternative donor graft in the absence of an HLA-matched sibling donor (MSD). With the declining birthrate and aging of the population, the numbers of patients with an MSD are decreasing, and alternative donor transplants, including the post-transplant cyclophosphamide method using haplo-identical donors, are increasing.

Background: Patients with poor-risk Waldenström's macroglobulinemia have suboptimal response and early post-treatment relapse with conventional therapies. Hence, new therapeutic approaches such as allogeneic stem cell transplantation should be evaluated in these patients.
Design And Methods: We examined the long-term outcome of allogeneic stem cell transplantation in Waldenström's macroglobulinemia by studying the records of 24 patients reported in the SFGM-TC database and one transplanted in the bone marrow unit in Hamburg.

The chemotherapy of disseminated testicular cancer is subject to continuous change and further improvement. Because of the high efficacy, with a curability over 90% for patients with good prognostic criteria, ongoing trials investigate how far the toxicity can be reduced without a negative impact on the cure rate. Besides the standard protocols for good risk (PEB x 3; PE x 4) the substitution of cisplatinum by carboplatinum (CEB) or bleomycin by vinblastine (VPV;CEV) is currently being tested in prospective randomized trials.
