Abstract
In this special issue of Bone Marrow Transplantation, investigators report the impact of IDH1 [1], IDH2 [2], and FLT3-TKD [3] measurable residual disease (MRD) pre-hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in predicting relapse of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in adults receiving allogeneic HCT. The patient population for these retrospective cohorts, reflecting clinical transplant practice patterns and research biobank participation, was 84-86% non-Hispanic White (NHW) in each study. In this commentary, we explore the implications of racial and ethnic disparities in access to both HCT and HCT-related research and propose strategies to promote representation in precision medicine, given the emerging impact of the field on HCT outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Bone Marrow Transplantation publishes high quality, peer reviewed original research that addresses all aspects of basic biology and clinical use of haemopoietic stem cell transplantation.
The broad scope of the journal thus encompasses topics such as stem cell biology, e.g., kinetics and cytokine control, transplantation immunology e.g., HLA and matching techniques, translational research, and clinical results of specific transplant protocols. Bone Marrow Transplantation publishes 24 issues a year.
