Abstract
- With increasing numbers of patients with hematologic malignancies requiring allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT), including minority racial and ethnic groups, the limited availability of matched related donors and matched unrelated donors remains a significant obstacle. Hence, the use of alternative donors such as haploidentical and mismatched unrelated donors (MMUDs) is on the rise. Herein, we present case studies to outline a rational and stepwise approach with a focus on the use of MMUD for HCT in patients with hematologic malignancies. We also review novel approaches used to reduce the incidence of severe graft-versus-host disease and improve HCT outcomes in patients undergoing MMUD HCT.
