Introduction:
Haematopoietic cell transplantation with nonmyeloablative conditioning (NMC-HCT) is used in the treatment of haematological malignancies.
Material And Methods:
Use of NMC-HCT in Denmark from 2000-07 was examined.
Results:
Unrelated donor searches resulted in a suitable donor in 75% of cases of which 36% were transplanted. Among 244 patients referred for NMC-HCT, 72% were transplanted. There was a significant difference in the number of NMC-HCTs between national regions. Increasing waiting time resulted in 22% of the referred patients being taken off the waiting list without NMC-HCT.
Conclusion:
Some patients may have had a chance of cure if they had been transplanted without delay.
