This summary is intended to update the Brazilian Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (SBTMO) 2020/1 consensus on HSCT for Acute Myeloid leukemia (AML).

Currently, approximately 15,000 to 20,000 patients undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) annually throughout the world, with the number of long-term survivors increasing rapidly. In long-term follow-up after transplantation, the focus of care moves beyond cure of the original disease to the identification and treatment of late effects after HSCT. One of the more seri...

Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has evolved from an experimental concept to an effective treatment option for severe autoimmune diseases and has a unique ability to restore immune regulation. It is a complex multistep procedure involving the administration of high doses of immunosuppressive medication and transplantation of stem cells. Most HSCT procedures in autoimmune disease ...

Intensive immunosuppresion followed by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been suggested as potential treatment in severe forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). Since 1995 ca. 400 patients have been treated with HSCT. Stabilization or improvement occurred in almost 70% of cases at least for 3 years post-transplant. Magnetic resonance revealed the capacity of autologous HSCT to suppre...

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency disease caused by impaired phagocytic function. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a definitive cure for CGD; however, the use of HSCT is limited because of associated problems, including transplantation-related mortality and engraftment failure. We report a case of a patient with CGD who underwent successful HSCT ...

Abstract Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of haploidentical haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) for treatment malignant infantile osteopetrosis (MIOP) and intermediate osteopetrosis. Methods Children with MIOP IOP who underwent haplo-HSCT in Beijing Children’s Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January 2010 to May 2018 were retrospectively analysed. Data rel...

With increasing frequency, oncology nurses are providing long-term care to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients in nontransplantation settings. This may be a result of more patients receiving HSCTs, recipients living longer, and recipients' desire to return to their hometowns as soon as possible. Although critical to patients' initial recovery after HSCT, immune reconstitut...

the introduction and evolution of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (hsct) could be traced back to 1950s, to the studies on interactions among irradiation, covering spleen and bone marrow from it and injection of bone marrow cells. today, hsct is considered a well-established, effective and promising means of therapy for various malignant and non-malignant medical conditions, both in chil...

We aimed to analyze characteristics of encephalopathy after both hematopoietic stem cell and solid organ pediatric transplantation. We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 662 pediatric transplant recipients (201 with liver transplantation [LT], 55 with heart transplantation [HT], and 67 with kidney transplantation [KT], 339 with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation [HSCT])...
