✦ Synopsis

THE USE OF BONE-MARROW TRANSPLANTATION IN LEUKAEMIAS AND ALLIED DISORDERS

Bone-marrow transplants from unrelated donors for leukaemias are increasing greatly in number and also in proportion to matched sibling-donor transplants. The panel has considered unrelated donor transplant (UD-BMT) on the basis of efficacy, toxicity and indications in leukaemias. The conclusions and statements are based largely, but not exclusively, on information provided at the Consensus Conference.
