Popis: The efficacy of second allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT2) using cord blood (CB) for patients with relapsed hematological malignancies after initial allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT1) is unknown. We analyzed the results of SCT2 using single-unit unrelated CB in 34 adult patients with relapsed hematological malignancies after SCT1 in our institution. The patients had acute myeloid leukemia (n = 23), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (n = 7), chronic myelogenous leukemia (n = 2), and myelodysplastic syndrome (n = 2). The cumulative incidence of neutrophil and platelet engraftment was 81.6% at 30 days and 68.5% at 100 days, respectively. With a median follow-up of 40 months, the probability of overall survival at 3 years was 29.0%. The cumulative incidence of relapse and transplant-related mortality at 3 years were 60.7% and 27.2%, respectively. The use of CB could offer the opportunity to receive SCT2 for patients who experienced disease relapse after SCT1 without HLA-identical related or unrelated donors.
