Outpatient allografting using non-myeloablative conditioning: the Mexican experience

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation using non-myeloablative conditioning regimens: results of the Mexican approach.

We have used a novel method to conduct non-myeloablative stem cell transplantation (NST), making the following changes in previous methods: Use of the cheapest conditioning drugs, tailored number of apheresis sessions in the donors, elimination of ganciclovir and IgG, outpatient conduction when possible, diminished number of transfusions of blood products and diminished number of donor lymphocy...

Targeting Myeloid Cells to the Brain Using Non-Myeloablative Conditioning

Bone marrow-derived cells (BMDCs) are able to colonize the central nervous system (CNS) at sites of damage. This ability makes BMDCs an ideal cellular vehicle for transferring therapeutic genes/molecules to the CNS. However, conditioning is required for bone marrow-derived myeloid cells to engraft in the brain, which so far has been achieved by total body irradiation (TBI) and by chemotherapy (...

Allogeneic haemopoietic stem cell transplantation using non-myeloablative conditioning--a local experience.

Allogeneic haemopoietic stem cell transplantation was initially considered as a means of delivering supralethal doses of chemotherapy with or without total body irradiation for the treatment of malignancy. However, it has become clear that this mode of therapy does not eradicate the malignancy in many patients and its benefit is largely due to the immune mediated graft versus malignancy effect....

Immunosuppressive non-myeloablative allografting as salvage therapy in advanced Hodgkin's disease.

Stem cell transplantation using non-myeloablative conditioning regimen with fludarabine for hematological malignancies.

Stem cell transplantation (SCT) is a useful treatment for hematological malignancies, but it is limited to younger patients because of its high treatment-related mortality. Fludarabine (Flu), a novel anticancer agent with potent immunosuppressive activity, used as a conditioning regimen (reduced intensity transplantation; RIST), can decrease treatment-related mortality, as recently reported. Ho...
