Importance: Use of haploidentical (HAPLO) stem cell transplantation with posttransplant cyclophosphamide is rapidly increasing in adults with hematologic cancers. However, its specific role compared with other transplant strategies has yet to be identified.

Objective: To synthesize the existing evidence regarding outcomes of stem cell transplantations comparing HAPLO stem cell transplantation and posttransplant cyclophosphamide therapy with transplantations from matched related donors (MRDs), matched unrelated donors (MUDs), or mismatched unrelated donors (MMUDs).

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the long-term effects of using human anti-T-lymphocyte globulin (ATLG) with other medications in patients with acute leukaemia undergoing stem cell transplantation, finding that it reduced chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) without increasing relapse rates or infections.
  • An extended follow-up aimed to assess long-term outcomes, including quality of life (QoL), which had not been extensively reported before.
  • Patients were randomly assigned to receive either ATLG with standard GVHD prophylaxis or standard prophylaxis alone, with QoL assessed through specific questionnaires, and both studies' enrolment has been completed.

Vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC) stimulates leukemia cell proliferation and survival, and promotes angiogenesis. We studied VEGFC expression in bone marrow samples from 353 adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and its relationship with several clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular variables. We also studied the expression of 84 genes involved in VEGF signaling in 24 patients.
