"Ex-vivo" T-cell depletion in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: New clinical approaches for old challenges.

Allogeneic transplantation still remains as standard of care for patients with high-risk hematological malignancies at diagnosis or after relapse. However, GvHD remains yet as the most relevant clinical complication in the early post-transplant period. TCD allogeneic transplant is now considered a valid option to reduce severe GvHD and to provide a platform for cellular therapy to prevent relapse disease or to treat opportunistic infections.
