Graft-versus-Host-Disease after Double Cord Blood Transplantation: A New Look at Its Characteristics

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: Umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) has become a widely available and accepted alternative stem cell source for pediatric and adult patients with malignant and nonmalignant hematologic diseases [1-4]. Over the last several years, multiple studies have reported lower rates of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), both grade III-IV acute GVHD (aGVHD) and chronic GVHD (cGVHD), in UCBT recipients compared with recipients of unrelated donor peripheral blood or bone marrow hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) [5-7].
