A Short Review on Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant in Leukemic Patients

Doyer Mellen and Heere Nyle

To identify potential barriers to reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) we performed a retrospective review of patients referred for transplant consultation at our center. Of the 209 patients evaluated, a substantial proportion of patients who were appropriate candidates for RIC-ASCT were unable to attain disease control to proceed (18.3%) with this therapy.
