Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical significance of donor-recipient HLA matching on survival after myeloablative hematopoietic cell transplantation from unrelated donors.

TL;DR: The application of unrelated donor hematopoietic cell transplantation can be expanded with the use of mismatched donors if human leukocyte antigen (HLA) disparity does not lead to increased morbidity and mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unrelated donor or autologous marrow transplantation for treatment of acute leukemia

TL;DR: Unrelated donor transplants appear no less effective than autologous transplants to achieve long-term survival and may be more effective in eradicating leukemia in patients who have failed conventional chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue typing in support of unrelated hematopoietic cell transplantation.

TL;DR: Improved HLA matching of potential unrelated donors has led to clinical results that begin to compare favorably with that of HLA-identical sibling transplants.
