Abstract:
Indications for autologous and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in hematological malignancies and solid tumours are summarised. AML treatment protocol including induction and consolidation chemotherapy followed by conventional maintenance chemotherapy or high dose chemotherapy with subsequent autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplant are presented. We compared elements and targets of autologous and allogeneic procedures pointing out the major differences regarding transplant related mortality, disease free survival and relapse rates.
