Abstract:
Stem cell transplantation in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is an evolving field. Younger patients with high-risk disease might derive the greatest benefit from this approach and the availability of reduced-intensity conditioning regimens has made allogeneic stem cell transplantation more relevant to patients with CLL. Patient selection, timing of transplantation, and method of conditioning, stem cell delivery and immunosuppression appear to influence outcomes. We collect and review the available data to assist clinical decision-making in this field.
