Secondary malignancies after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation Minireview

چکیده
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) offers patients with malignant and nonmalignant diseases the oportunity to pursue life-prolonging therapy. The number of survivors after successful HSCT is continually increasing. However, HSCT can induce tissue and organ damage that occurs not only “on treatment” , but long after completing therapy. Secondary malignancies belong to serious late complications after HSCT. A significant association of certain risk factors with increased likelihood of secondary malignancies after HSCT has been published over the last ten years. Better knowledge of pathogenesis of these complications, their early identification and treatment may contribute to better health outcomes of allogeneic and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients. We review here the incidence and risk factors of secondary malignancies after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Association between CRP Level on Admission Day and Length of Hospitalization and Engraftment in Patients Undergoing Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Background and purpose: Several studies investigated the role of C-reactive protein (CRP) during transplantation and inflammation, and clinical outcomes after stem cell transplantation. In this study, we examined the relationship between the earliest CRP level on admission day, and the first outcome after transplantation, myeloid and platelet engraftment, and the length of hospitalization in p...
متن کاملHematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Thalassemia
Thalassemia is an autosomal recessive disorder associated with defective synthesis of the α- or β-chain of hemoglobin. For β-thalassemia major patients, therapeutic options are either monthly red cell transfusions and chelation therapy or allogeneic stem cell transplant. Stem cell transplant is the only curative approach and success is inversely correlated with the degree of iron overload and h...

Background and purpose: Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may be one of the best treatment options for some patients with hematological malignancies. The process of stem cell homing in the bone marrow and the production and proliferation of denovo cell populations is called engraftment and could be considered as one of the key factors in the success of stem cell transplantation...

Objective(s): High-risk neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer with poorprognosis despite modern multimodality therapy. Internal radiotherapy using131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is effective for treating the disease even if it isresistant to chemotherapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacyof 131I-MIBG radiotherapy combined with myeloablative high-dose chemotherapyand...
