Abstract:
Many typescripts in this issue describe increasing use of HLA-haplotype-matched transplants in persons with leukaemia and report outcomes. Consequently, my goal is not to repeat these data but to focus on controversies and challenges relevant to this topic including: (1) what is the best technique for performing these transplants; (2) who is the best donor; (3) who should receive this type of transplant; (4) how do results compare with transplants from other donors; and (5) how can results be improved.
