Outcomes of non-myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplant in older patients with acute myeloid leukaemia in first remission

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleResearchpeer-review

Abstract

The benefits of non-myeloablative stem cell transplant in older patients with acute myeloid leukaemia are unclear. We compare the long-term outcomes of this regimen in those aged 55–65 years in first remission with a chemotherapy only cohort that achieved durable morphologic remission. Five-year overall survival was similar (32% vs 33%, P = 0.90), as was relapse-free survival (23% vs 20%, P = 0.37). There was a trend for decreased relapse that was balanced against increased non-relapse mortality with transplantation.
