Abstract

Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT) is the only curative therapy for myelofibrosis (MF). Traditionally, HCT has been limited by the availability of donor sources. In 2017, almost every patient who needs HCT is able to find a donor. In this section, we explore the trends in HCT for MF, including the use of alternative donor grafts. We will also discuss special issues related to splenectomy and leukemic transformation. New trends in HCT for MF including the use of genetic markers to select patients or predict outcomes will also be reviewed.
