ALLOGENEIC AND AUTOLOGOUS TRANSPLANTATION FOR HEMATOLOGICAL DISEASES,SOLID TUMORS AND IMMUNE DISORDERS - CURRENT PRACTICE IN EUROPE IN 1998

In 1996, the Accreditation Sub-Committee of the EBMT published a speci al report summarising current practice in Europe in relation to haemop oietic stem cell transplants for haematological diseases, solid tumour s and immune disorders, An updated report is presented here. The major change has been the recognition that transplant practice is appreciab ly different between children and adults, who should therefore be cons idered in separate categories, The autoimmune disorders for which auto grafting may be useful are now specified, Non-CML myeloproliferative d isorders and AL amyloidosis have been added to the list of indications for transplant procedures in adults, Other changes have been incorpor ated into the revised tables.
