Has anyone seen any research on life expectancy after stem cell transplant? I would be curious to see statistics based on IPSS or IPSS-R rating at time of transplant, comparisons on reduced intensity versus myeloablative therapy, age, cytogenetics category, etc.

Thanks in advance

Ray (Rars) had a great website a few months ago that was very good. I have seen the information on various sites. What I know is that I wouldn't be alive now without the transplant. The last year has been among the most rewarding years of my life.

The best data I have seen is at http://bloodcell.transplant.hrsa.gov/research/transplant_data/us_tx_data/survival_data/survival.aspx

You are not going to find what you are looking for because when you put that many variables into the mix the sample size becomes too small to be statistically significant.
