5 variables that are important for SCT survival

Hi Hopeful, Michelle and leeslay,
You know you are all young and as far as I understand low age is one of the most important variables for a good result after SCT according to this report from Dana-Farber. Disease, stage at transplantation, cytogenetics, and pretransplantation ferritin are also important.

Many members of this forum has had SCT:s with good results the last year and I think the better supportive therapy is giving better results every year, so older reports are not really relevant today.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
