Abstract

The article presents a study regarding the medical case of 16 haemotological malignancy patients. The study uses total body irradiation (TBI), etoposide and antithymocyte globulin (ATG) to conduct multiple unit umbilical cord blood transplantation (MU-UCBT). The result shows that three patients experienced early deaths and one had graft failure but was infused with cryopreserved remission autologous bone marrow and remains alive in complete remission for 1056 days.
