Successful unrelated donor cord blood transplantation for Glanzmann's thrombasthenia.
GT, a rare disorder of platelet function, can lead to life-threatening bleeding, particularly following the development of antiplatelet antibodies. Curative therapy includes HCT but previous reports are limited predominantly to matched siblings and have excluded CBT. Delayed or non-engraftment of platelets because of antiplatelet antibodies might be particularly concerning after CBT for GT. Her...
متن کاملUnrelated donor hematopoietic cell transplantation: marrow or umbilical cord blood?
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) can be curative for selected malignant and nonmalignant diseases.1-13 However, utilization and success of HCT are limited by several obstacles, primarily related to the importance of donor-recipient genetic match for favorable outcomes. While in most settings, best results are offered by human leukocyte antigen (HLA)14,15–identical sibling transplantatio...
متن کاملUnrelated umbilical cord blood transplantation in children and adults.
Umbilical cord blood (UCB) has recently been explored as an alternative haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) source for allogeneic immunotherapy in both adults and paediatric patients with haematological malignancies and marrow failure syndromes. The relative ease of procurement, tolerance of 1-2 antigen human-leukocyte antigen (HLA) mismatch and the lower than anticipated risk of severe graft-versus...
متن کاملInfectious Complications after Umbilical Cord-Blood Transplantation from Unrelated Donors
Umbilical cord-blood (UCB) is a well-recognized alternative source of stem cells for unrelated donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). As compared with other stem cell sources from adult donors, it has the advantages of immediate availability of cells, absence of risk to the donor and reduced risk of graft-versus-host disease despite donor-recipient HLA disparity. However, the use...
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...
