Autologous or Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation Compared with Intensive Chemotherapy in Acute Myelogenous Leukemia

Abstract

Autologous as well as allogeneic bone marrow transplantation results in better disease-free survival than intensive consolidation chemotherapy with high-dose cytarabine and daunorubicin. Transplantation soon after a relapse or during a second complete remission might also be appropriate.
