Abstract

In 1997, the Swiss Transplant Working Group Blood and Marrow Transplantation (STABMT) initiated a mandatory national registry for all haematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT) in Switzerland. As of 2003, information was collected of 2010 patients with a first HSCT (577 allogeneic (29%) and 1433 autologous (71%) HSCT) and 616 additional re-transplants. This included 1167 male and 843 female patients with a median age of 42.4 years (range 0.2-76.6 years). Main indications were leukaemias (592; 29%) lymphoproliferative disorders (1,061; 53%), solid tumours (295; 15%) and non-malignant disorders (62; 3%). At the time of analysis 1,263 patients were alive (63%), 747 had died (37%). Probability of survival, transplant related mortality or relapse at 5 years was 52%, 21%, 36% for allogeneic and 54%, 5%, 60% for autologous HSCT. Outcome depended on indication, donor type, stem cell source and age of patient. HSCT is an established therapy in Switzerland. These data describe current practice and outcome.

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.
