Abstract

In Vietnam, the first three cases of Allo-BMT were successfully performed in 1995 at the Blood Transfusion and Hematology Hospital (BT-H) of Ho Chi Minh City. Donors were HLA fully matched siblings (HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-DRB1). The patients were a 26-year-old man with CML in chronic phase (CP), a 12-year-old woman with beta-thalassemia/Hb E and a 9-year-old girl with beta-thalassemia/Hb E. All patients were engrafted with the median time to recover ANC>0.5 x 10(9)/l, and platelet count >20 x 10(9)/l was 16 and 38 days. At 12 years after transplantation, all three patients are alive and well. Today, Vietnam has five SCT centers; in the north, there are three centers: 108 Military Hospital, Pediatric Institute and Blood transfusion and Hematology Institute; in the middle of Vietnam is Hue Hospital and in the south, the BT-H Hospital of Ho Chi Minh City. Until now, 65 patients have had SCT in Vietnam; among them, 52 patients had SCT at the BT-H Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City. Because of no connection of data between different SCT centers, we present here only the results performed at the BT-H Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City. With Allo-SCT we performed 19 cases with 3 procedures: BMT (4 cases), PBSC (6 cases) and cord blood transplantation (...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.
