Engraftment kinetics and graft failure after single umbilical cord blood transplantation using a myeloablative conditioning regimen.
Umbilical cord blood transplant recipients are exposed to an increased risk of graft failure, a complication leading to a higher rate of transplant-related mortality. The decision and timing to offer a second transplant after graft failure is challenging. With the aim of addressing this issue, we analyzed engraftment kinetics and outcomes of 1268 patients (73% children) with acute leukemia (64%...
متن کاملTransplantation of umbilical cord blood after myeloablative therapy: analysis of engraftment.
The possibility that umbilical cord and placental blood from an HLA-identical sibling might produce stable donor-derived lymphohematopoietic engraftment was tested in a patient with juvenile chronic myelogenous leukemia (JCML). After conditioning with high-dose busulfan and cyclophosphamide, cryopreserved umbilical cord blood, containing 0.5 x 10(8) nucleated cells/kg and 2.7 x 10(4) colony for...
متن کاملImproving Engraftment and Immune Reconstitution in Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation
Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is an important source of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) for allogeneic transplantation when HLA-matched sibling and unrelated donors (MUD) are unavailable. Although the overall survival results for UCB transplantation are comparable to the results with MUD, UCB transplants are associated with slow engraftment, delayed immune reconstitution, and increased opportunisti...
متن کاملUmbilical cord blood transplantation
Since the first umbilical cord blood transplantation (CBT) in 1998, cord blood (CB) has now become one of the most commonly used sources of hematopoietic stem cells for transplantation. CBT has advantages of easy procurement, no risk to donor, low risk of transmitting infections, immediate availability and immune tolerance allowing successful transplantation despite human leukocyte antigen disp...
متن کاملUmbilical cord blood transplantation.
Umbilical cord blood transplantation (CBT) has been widely used as an alternative source of hematopoietic cell support for stem cell transplant patients. CBT offers several advantages over traditional stem cell sources, such as immediate availability, absence of risk for donors, lower risk of acute graft-versus-host disease, and a less stringent requirement for human leukocyte antigen matching....
