Abstract
Indications of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remain controversial in patients with lower risk myelodysplastic syndrome. We review prognostic factors in lower risk MDS, delineating patients with relatively poor risk who may potentially benefit from HSCT during the disease course. Results of HSCT in those patients, and main efforts to decrease non-relapse mortality (NRM) are detailed. Prospective studies are needed to determine more precisely which lower risk MDS patients may benefit from transplantation.Entities:
