Transplantation without pretransplant therapy: Is this a possibility? Insights into providing transplantation at diagnosis for patients with acute leukemia.

Journal Article (Journal Article;Review)

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has the potential for providing a cure for several hematologic malignancies. Although in most circumstances, allogeneic HSCT is preceded by disease-directed or cytoreductive therapy, it is unclear if these toxic conditioning regimens can be circumvented. This review summarizes evidence that will provide insights into factors that influence outcomes in allogeneic HSCT and whether this curative therapy could be used right at diagnosis.
