Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia in adults over 70 years old.
Abstract
The advent of reduced-intensity conditioning regimens, improvements in graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis, and better supportive care have permitted increasing use of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) in adults age ≥70 with AML. However, while potentially curative, non-relapse mortality and relapse represent the main causes of treatment failure, highlighting the importance of refining both patient selection and transplant strategies. At the same time, continuously evolving non-transplant therapies and transplant technologies mandate prospective trials (re-)examining the role of allo-HCT and its optimal delivery.Citation
