ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the curative effect of imatinib mesylate combined with myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia advanced phase. Methods To retrospectively analyze clinical effect of 6 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia advanced phase were treated with imatinib mesylate combined with myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from July 2005 to April 2009, and literature review. Results The disease-free survival and the survival rate of 4 patients were 66.67 %. 2 patients died (one case die for Chemotherapy pretreatment in the third transplantation after two years, the other case die for Chemotherapy pretreatment in the second transplantation after six months ). Conclusion The clinical cure rate of chronic myeloid leukemia advanced phase may be improved with the treatment of imatinib mesylate combined with myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the clinical effect, hematopoietic reconstitution, and adverse effects of compatriots HLA in the same period with haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation among relatives for treatment of haematological malignancies. Methods 9 patients of compatriots HLA and 9 patients of haptoidentical allogeneic were recruited. The clinical effect, hematopoietic reconstitution, and transplant-related adverse effects of the observation groups were retrospectively analyzed. Results There was no statistical difference between the clinical effect in two groups, hematopoietic reconstitution, pretreatment-related toxicity and acute and chronic GVHD. The infusion volume of blood products, CMV infection and fungal infection in haploidentical transplant group was higher than that in compatriots HLA group. Conclusion HLA haploidentical family donor transplantation is a good way to increase the source of donor for the treatment of haematological malignancies.
