| Popis: | Between April 1982 and December 1986, HLA-identical bone marrow transplantations were performed on 25 patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelocytic leukaemia (CML), 18 in the chronic phase, 7 in acceleration or blast crisis. Twelve of the 18 patients (67%) in the chronic phase are still alive a median period of 570 days after transplantation, but only two of the seven (29%) in acceleration or blast crisis a median period of 227 days after transplantation (P less than 0.025). The duration of the chronic phase was of great importance for survival after transplantation: 86% of patients in the chronic phase for less than two years survived, but all patients in the chronic phase for over two years died (P less than 0.001). CML relapses occurred in one patient in a late chronic phase and in two in an advanced stage of the disease. These results confirm the unfavorable outcome of bone marrow transplantation in the accelerated phase or blast crisis, as well as in the late chronic phase. Since at present there are no reliable risk factors for the occurrence of acceleration or blast crisis, bone marrow transplantation should be undertaken as early as possible in the chronic phase of CML. |
