Elderly patients with myelodysplastic syndromes or acute myeloid leukemia may experience long-term survival after undergoing stem cell transplantation, according to a recent study conducted at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
Although a number of patients experienced long-term disease control, many patients still relapsed or died from transplant-related causes. The study investigators acknowledge that new treatment approaches are needed to resolve the number of relapses and deaths associated with transplantation.
