Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is commonly utilized in the management of leukemia across multiple subtypes. Graft versus leukemia (GVL) is a critical component of successful transplantation and involves donor cells eradicating residual leukemia within the recipient. Graft versus host disease (GVHD) by contrast is a common complication of the transplantation process in which donor cells identify the recipient's various organ systems as foreign, thereby leading to a multitude of organ toxicities that can be described as autoimmune in nature. As both GVL and GVHD are mediated by a similar mechanism, these processes are felt to occur in tandem with one another. Here, we review the allogeneic HCT process in the context of GVL.
期刊介绍:
Best Practice & Research Clinical Haematology publishes review articles integrating the results from the latest original research articles into practical, evidence-based review articles. These articles seek to address the key clinical issues of diagnosis, treatment and patient management. Each issue follows a problem-orientated approach which focuses on the key questions to be addressed, clearly defining what is known and not known, covering the spectrum of clinical and laboratory haematological practice and research. Although most reviews are invited, the Editor welcomes suggestions from potential authors.
