Abstract

The purpose of this review is to outline Egyptian experience of nonengraftment haploidentical cellular therapy [microtransplantation (MST)] for patients with refractory acute myeloid leukemia. The use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor primed halo-identical MST appears to be a biologically active therapy in patients with refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML), especially in patients received less than four previous chemotherapy lines, fludarabine-free previous chemotherapy, response naïve and young age patients. Refractory AML is still challenging. MST is promising, however the optimum conditioning, stem-cell dose, matching degree are factors should be optimized.
