Abstract

We report a case series of 12 patients with acute myeloid leukemia who underwent allogeneic stem cell transplant with a matched related donor. Male to female ratio was 1:1. The main complication post-transplant was graft-versus-host disease (n = 7 patients). Transplant-related mortality involved one patient; cause of death was multi-organ failure. After a median follow up of 36.0 ± 11.3 months, overall survival was 16%.
