Bone marrow transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia : the EBMT experience. A prospective analysis from HLA-typing
1992
In 1990, 4,234 BMT were performed in Europe ; 2.097 autologous BMT (388 AML) and 2,137 allogeneic BMT (494 AML). Although an established therapy with leukemia free survival (LFS) at five years of 41%±5% (EBMT results) its value compared to alternative therapies remains controversial. During the year 1985, the EBMT conducted a prospective evaluation study. In 12 centres 168 patients with AML were redistered at the time of HLA-typing. Basic patient data and treatment intention were recorded. 79 patients were HLA-typed at diagnosis. 68 patients in 1st CR and 21 at other stages. Follow-up of these patients was obtained as of January 1, 1991
