Bone marrow transplantation for acute leukemia

C D Buckner

    Bulletin Du Cancer
    |January 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Bone marrow transplantation offers improved survival for acute leukemia patients in remission. While successful for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first remission, outcomes for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in later remissions show higher relapse rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Oncology
    • Transplantation Medicine

    Background:

    • Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for relapsed acute leukemia yields poor long-term survival rates (<20%).
    • The Seattle Group initiated BMT for acute leukemia patients in remission starting in 1976 to improve outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of BMT for acute leukemia in remission.
    • To assess survival rates and relapse frequencies in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) undergoing BMT.

    Main Methods:

    • BMT performed on acute leukemia patients in remission since 1976.
    • Analysis of long-term survival, disease-free status, and relapse rates.
    • Exploration of BMT using non-HLA identical siblings.

    Main Results:

    • For AML in first remission, 56% achieved long-term survival with a low relapse rate (<10%).
    • For ALL in second or subsequent remission, 40% achieved long-term survival, but with a high relapse rate (50%).
    • Initial attempts using non-HLA identical siblings show encouraging results.

    Conclusions:

    • BMT in remission offers encouraging results for acute leukemia, particularly AML in first remission.
    • Further research is needed to reduce relapse rates in ALL patients undergoing BMT.
    • Non-HLA identical sibling BMT presents a promising alternative approach.
