  • Title: [Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation of unrelated donors; fewer complication, more donors].
    Author: Liem GS, Cornelissen JJ, Oudshoorn M, Sintnicolaas K, Löwenberg B, Hagenbeek A.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 1997 Aug 09; 141(32):1553-6. PubMed ID: 9543748.
    Abstract:
    A female patient aged 37 years who suffered from chronic myeloid leukemia received an allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from an HLA-matched unrelated donor. No life-threatening complications ensued; 2.5 years after BMT she is still in complete remission. Survival after BMT from an unrelated donor for the time being is still lower than that after BMT from a related donor, but is improving due to better prevention and treatment of opportunistic infections and better selection of registered donors by meticulous HLA matching.
