Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMRO) 2008-2009

Abstract

There is an overall increased rate of HSCT in the EMRO region with a significant increase in utilization of CBT and allogeneic PB-HSCT as a valuable source. However, further research on outcome data and development of regional donor banks (CB and MUD) may help facilitate future planning to satisfy the regional needs and increase collaboration within the group and globally.
