摘要
Background Allogeneic stem cell transplantation is an efficient treatment modality for adult patients with various leukemias. Due to lack of suitable family donors, stem cell transplantation with unrelated HLA identical donors is increasingly performed. In the past, such transplantation was mostly used in treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia. Today it is rarely used in this case because of the successful treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, but it is becoming more popular in the treatment of acute leukemias with unfavorable prognostic factors. Methods Between years 2002 and 2007 twenty-three patients with acute and chronic myeloid leukemias were transplanted. The survival curves were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and both the effect of the type of leukemia on the treatment outcome and the change in indications after the introduction of new target drugs were estimated. Results Estimated six years survival for patients with acute myeloblastic and chronic myeloic leukemia is around 60%, which is similar to the rate for related allogeneic transplantations. However, for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia the survival rate is only around 30%. Unrelated transplantation for chronic myeloid leukemia is now only rarely performed in Slovenia. Conclusions Unrelated allogeneic stem cell transplantation is suitable mostly for acute leukemias with unfavorable risk factors. The success rate for treatment of acute myeloblastic leukemia is similar to the one for related allogeneic transplantation. However, the situation in treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia is worse, probably due to a larger part of patients having the transplantation in the advanced stages of the disease.
