Abstract
Unmanipulated haploidentical blood and marrow transplantation (HBMT) has been one of the most applied haploidentical transplant protocol, which offers rapid immune recovery, desirable health-related quality of life and comparable survival rate with those who received HLA-identical sibling transplantation or HLA-matched unrelated donor transplantation. Compared with HLA-identical sibling recipients, HBMT recipients experienced a lower risk of late effects. The HBMT protocol also shows superior in treating pediatric hematological malignancies compared with umbilical cord blood transplantation and could be successfully used as a post-remission treatment algorithm for adults acute myeloid leukemia with unfavorable cytogenetics. Several approaches, including optimal dose investigation of anti-thymocyte globulin, selecting the best donor, and modified donor lymphocyte infusion, have been designed to improve transplant outcomes.Entities:
