Autologous stem cell transplantation for adult acute leukemia in 2015: time to rethink? Present status and future prospects

Abstract: The use of autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) as consolidation therapy for adult patients with acute leukemia has declined over time. However, multiple randomized studies in the past have reported lower relapse rates after autologous transplantation compared with chemotherapy and lower non-relapse mortality rates compared with allogeneic transplantation. In addition, quality of life of long-term survivors is better after autologous transplantation than after allogeneic transplantation. Further, recent… Show more

“…Nevertheless, auto-HSCT holds several advantages including low non-relapse mortality rates, absence of graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) risk, lower incidence of late effects, and better quality of life for survivors compared to allo-HSCT; concerns include high relapse rate, due to the absence of graft-vs-leukemia (GVL) effect and the theoretic possibility of graft contamination by leukemic cells [6]. …”

“…Consequently, they are offered consolidation treatment in CR1 with either conventional chemotherapy, autologous or allogeneic transplantation [2][3][4]. Among these options, high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) can be applied to consolidate CR1 in AML patients who have favorable or intermediate risk cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities [5][6][7][8].…”
