Improved outcome in children compared to adolescents and young adults after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant for acute myeloid leukemia: a retrospective study from the Francophone Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cell Therapy (SFGM-TC).

ABSTRACT:

Background

There are currently few data on the outcome of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in adolescents after allogeneic HSCT. The aim of this study is to describe the outcome and its specific risk factors for children, adolescents and young adults after a first allogeneic HSCT for AML.

Methods

In this retrospective study, we compared the outcome of AML patients receiving a first allogeneic HSCT between 2005 and 2017 according to their age at transplantation's time: children (< 15 years, n = 564), adolescent and post-adolescent (APA) patients (15-25 years, n = 647) and young adults (26-40 years; n = 1434).

Results

With a median follow-up of 4.37 years (min-max 0.18-14.73 years), the probability of 2-year overall survival (OS) was 71.4% in children, 61.1% in APA patients
