Treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia in relapse after umbilical cord blood transplantation.

چکیده
Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is increasingly used as a source of hematopoietic progenitor cells for allotransplantation. Donor-derived buffy coat cells are considered optimal treatment for leukemia relapses after transplantation of allogeneic bone marrow. Experience with relapses after UCB transplants are sparse. Here we report a girl who received an UCB transplant for chronic myeloid leukemia, relapsed after three years, failed to respond to donor buffy coat cells, but achieved a complete hematologic, cytogenetic, and molecular remission on interferon-alpha.

Occurrence of graft-versus-host disease increases mortality after umbilical cord blood transplantation for acute myeloid leukaemia: a report from Eurocord and the ALWP of the EBMT.
BACKGROUND The efficacy of umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) as treatment for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) relies on immune-mediated graft-versus-leukaemia effects. Previous studies have suggested a strong association between graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) occurrence and graft-versus-leukaemia effects after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. METHODS Here, we evaluated...

Adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients with hematological malignancy aged 15 to 39 years are recognized as a separate entity, and the efficacy and safety of unrelated cord blood transplantation (CBT) for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in AYA patients has not been reported. From March 2002 to June 2015, total of 106 CML patients received allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT...

Background: Although Imatinib has revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), not all patients reach complete remission and a considerable proportion of the patients develop resistance to Imatinib. Material and Methods: In an attempt to increase the tail on the survival curve, we conducted a Phase I/II study of PR1/BCR-ABL multipeptides vaccination trial in CML patients wit...

Although hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been considered to be the only way for potential cure of relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML), there has been no report on a third HSCT in patients with multiple relapsed AML. Here, we report a case of 53-year-old female who received a successful third allogeneic HSCT after relapse of AML following a second allogeneic HSCT. She was tr...

Umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplantation is potentially curative for acute leukemia. This analysis was performed to identify risk factors associated with leukemia relapse following myeloablative UCB transplantation. Acute leukemia patients (n = 177; 88 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and 89 with acute myeloid leukemia) were treated at a single center. Patients received a UCB graft composed ...
