What is the role of reduced-intensity transplantation in the treatment of older patients with AML?Forman SJHematology Am Soc Hematol Educ Program 2009[]; ä (ä): 406-13Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), either de novo or arising out of antecedent myelodysplasia, increases with age and is rarely curable by standard treatments used for younger patients. Recent clinical trials using reduced-intensity allogeneic transplantation regimens suggest that a proportion of patients with this disease can be cured, with results comparable to those achieved in younger patients undergoing fully ablative transplant. Although those patients who undergo transplant in a first remission often do well, the vast majority of older patients have not benefited because of the low successful remission achieved with standard therapy, the delay in initiating a donor search, and the lack of significant benefit from transplantation in patients who are not in remission. New approaches to induction, improvements in reduced-intensity regimens, and earlier donor identification will help expand the potential clinical benefit to a larger number of older patients with the disease.|*Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation[MESH]|Acute Disease[MESH]|Age Factors[MESH]|Aged[MESH]|Aged, 80 and over[MESH]|Antineoplastic Combined Chemotherapy Protocols/therapeutic use[MESH]|Combined Modality Therapy[MESH]|Drug Resistance, Neoplasm/genetics[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Graft vs Host Disease/etiology[MESH]|Graft vs Leukemia Effect[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Leukemia, Myeloid/drug therapy/genetics/pathology/*surgery[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Myeloablative Agonists/administration & dosage/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Prognosis[MESH]|Recurrence[MESH]|Remission Induction[MESH]|Survival Analysis[MESH]|Tissue Donors[MESH]|Transplantation Conditioning/adverse effects/*methods[MESH]|Treatment Outcome[MESH] |
