Post Transplantation Fludarabine and Cyclophosphamide Selected and Promoted Low Dose of Unrelated UCB Implanation in Combined Transplantation of Haploid and UCB Stem Cells in Childhood Leukemia: 40 Cases Report in Double Center

Background: For patients without HLA matched donor, Haploid stem cell transplantation with PTCY method has relatively higher risk of relapse and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is readily available and has helped expand the donor pool to almost all patients requiring a transplant. Meanwhile UCB transplant improves EFS in leukaemia with lower risk of relapse and GVHD. However, the clinical application of UCB is limited due to lower implantation rate because of its low dose of stem cells than other sources of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC).
