More than 90% of ALL patients below 18 years of age are rescued with contemporary chemotherapy.

Key Points: 
  • More than 90% of ALL patients below 18 years of age are rescued with contemporary chemotherapy.
  • One of the most powerful leukemia therapies is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a donor (allogeneic HSCT).
  • Reduce the patient's leukemia to an undetectable level with chemotherapy, antibodies, or genetically modified cells from the patient ("CAR-T-cells").
  • For high-risk leukemia, the gold standard conditioning procedure is a combination of total body irradiation (TBI) and high dose chemotherapy.

"Bone marrow transplants are not just for patients with a perfectly matched donor.

Key Points: 
  • "Bone marrow transplants are not just for patients with a perfectly matched donor.
  • Each of these patients had a relative who could serve as a half-match for a bone marrow transplant.
  • As in the previous protocol, all received doses of chemotherapy and total body irradiation to knock down their immune response to the donor bone marrow before transplant.
  • "These latest findings add to an extensive and growing body of evidence supporting the safety and effectiveness of half-matched bone marrow transplants," says Richard Jones, M.D., director of the Kimmel Cancer Center bone marrow transplant program.
