Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical manifestations of graft-versus-host disease in human recipients of marrow from HL-A-matched sibling donors.

TL;DR: The results show that despite histocompatibility matching and methotrexate therapy, GVHD remains a serious and often fatal complication of marrow transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT)-specific comorbidity index: a new tool for risk assessment before allogeneic HCT.

TL;DR: The new simple index provided valid and reliable scoring of pretransplant comorbidities that predicted nonrelapse mortality and survival and will be useful for clinical trials and patient counseling before HCT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hematopoietic cell transplantation in older patients with hematologic malignancies: replacing high-dose cytotoxic therapy with graft-versus-tumor effects

TL;DR: A novel allografting approach, based on the use of postgrafting immunosuppression to control graft rejection and GVHD, has dramatically reduced the acute toxicities of allogRAFTing.
