Sustained Remissions of High-Risk Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome After Reduced-Intensity Conditioning Allogeneic Hematopoietic Transplantation: Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease Is the Strongest Factor Improving Survival

Abstract

Our results confirm the capacity of this RIC regimen to obtain long-term remissions in patients ineligible for a conventional allo-SCT. The results suggest an important role of the development of chronic GVHD in reducing relapse and improving DFS and OS.
