Table 4.

Treatment outcomes and toxicity for autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for consolidation or salvage therapy.

Autologous HCTAllo HCT (Sib)AlloHCT/MUDReduced-IntensityAlloHCT + MUD
* Because of high salvage rate and long-term sequelae, many would reserve autologous HCT for relapse for patients with favorable cytogenetics. 
** Most of these patients represent patients with high grade myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) in which an unrelated donor search was initiated prior to leukemic evolution. 
*** DFS interval will be 5 years unless otherwise noted 
Abbreviations: AML, acute myeloid leukemia; DFS, disease-free survival; TRM, treatment-related mortality; HCT, hematopoietic cell transplantation; MUD, matched unrelated donor; allo, allogeneic; CR, complete response
