Successful allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for three children with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia. 1984

M Ohira, and J Takayama, and M Hanada

Three children with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia in first remission were given cyclophosphamide (60 mg/kg on each of 2 days), fractionated total-body irradiation (total 12 Gy, six fractions), and a marrow transplant from an HLA-identical, mixed lymphocyte culture-negative sibling. All three patients are alive in a leukemia-free state 12 to 25 mo after transplantation. There were very few complication, other than mild graft-versus-host disease that developed in two patients. No interstitial pneumonitis and no serious infections have occurred. Long-term disease-free survival is expected in these patients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.
