Abstract:In an attempt to reduce the incidence of chronic GVHD (cGVHD) after reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC), we used BM instead of PBSC and added melphalan 100 mg/m 2 to the classical association of fludarabine, 30 mg/m 2 /day for 3 days and TBI, 200 cGy (FLUIM regimen). Between 2000 and 2012, 51 patients received BM with the FLUIM regimen (group A), and 124 received BM (n = 22) or PBSC (n = 102) with another RIC regimen (group B). Donors were siblings (n = 123) or HLA-matched 10/10 unrelated (n = 52). Full donor… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
