Unrelated donor cord blood is a rapidly available cryopreserved stem cell source that has the advantage of reduced stringency of required HLA-match. This extends transplant access to minority patients and those in need of urgent transplantation.
At Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, optimization of cord blood transplantation (CBT) practices including graft selection, conditioning, graft thaw and early post-transplant supportive care — especially prevention and management of graft-versus-host disease and Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections — has resulted in a dramatic reduction in transplant-related mortality after CBT for high-risk acute leukemia in adults.
This combined with very low rates of relapse has resulted in very high survival in this patient population. These promising results and the future of adult CBT will be discussed in detail in this Share the Science session.
