Transplantation of a myelodysplastic syndrome by a long-term repopulating hematopoietic cell.
The myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) comprise a group of premalignant hematologic disorders characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis, dysplasia, and transformation to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Although it is well established that many malignancies can be transplanted, there is little evidence to demonstrate that a premalignant disease entity, such as MDS or colonic polyps, can be transplan...
متن کاملHematopoietic stem cell transplantation for myelodysplastic syndrome.
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation remains the only curative option for myelodysplastic syndrome, but patients with this disease are often older and frail, and treatment-related mortality and morbidity is a major obstacle to be overcome. Treatment of MDS is likely to benefit from the major lines of investigation in the field of allogeneic transplantation, especially intervention...
متن کاملHematopoietic cell transplantation for myelodysplastic syndrome.
Although high-dose chemotherapy may cure a small subset of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is the only currently available modality that is curative in a large proportion of patients. Approximately 30% to 40% of patients with high-risk MDS and 60% to 80% of patients with low-risk MDS survive long-term in remission. Disease classi...
متن کاملRole and Timing of Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is the only curative treatment for patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Most patients with MDS are older than 60 years and age-associated morbidities limit the patients' options for curative transplant therapy. Since the development of conditioning regimens with reduced toxicity, the age limitations for HCT have waned for those patie...
متن کاملHematopoietic stem cell tracking in vivo: a comparison of short-term and long-term repopulating cells.
We have previously demonstrated that we could separate long-term repopulating stem cells from cells that provided radioprotection (short-term repopulating cells) on the basis of size and suggested that this might be due to the quiescent nature of long-term repopulating cells. To further define the activity of these populations, we used a dye (PKH26), which incorporates into the membrane of cell...
