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 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 کاملLong-Term Cancer-Free Survival after Infusion of Autologous Cord Blood Cells for Rejection-Unrelated Cord Blood Graft After Myeloablative Conditioning for t-MDS
Autologous cord blood transplantations are rarely applied in patients with hematologic as well as metastatic solid cancers since contamination of malignant clones is a concern. We report a case of therapy-related myelodysplasia after metastatic neuroblastoma who suffered from graft rejection and life-threatening infections after a myeloablative unrelated cord blood transplantation. The patient ...
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 کاملImmune recovery in adult patients after myeloablative dual umbilical cord blood, matched sibling, and matched unrelated donor hematopoietic cell transplantation.
Immunologic reconstitution after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation is a critical component of successful outcome. Umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplantation in adult recipients is associated with slow and often inadequate immune recovery. We characterized the kinetics and extent of immune recovery in 95 adult recipients after a dual UCB (n = 29) and matched sibling donor (n = 33) or...
