All received stem cell transplants to treat cancer; however, sixth patient did not receive the transplant from a donor with a rare genetic abnormality that is resistant to HIV
Spleen Volume Linked to Outcome After HSCT for Leukemia Patients
Higher spleen volume tied to inferior overall survival and increased incidence of nonrelapse mortality for patients with AML undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant
Experimental Prophylaxis Beneficial for Patients Undergoing HSCT
GVHD-free, relapse-free survival more common among those receiving cyclophosphamide-tacrolimus-mycophenolate mofetil prophylaxis
