Through collaboration with international experts, our institution established a highly active and successful hematopoietic stem cell transplant program, providing access to this potentially curative treatment modality for patients with a variety of benign and malignant hematological diseases. The initial development of an autologous stem cell transplant program provided our institution with the infrastructure, equipment, and expertise needed for the subsequent development of an allogeneic stem cell transplant program. Key transplant staff received training from international transplant experts at the NHLBI/NIH, the Mayo Clinic, the Johns Hopkins Hospital, and Nagoya Japan, providing them with the expertise to conduct a variety of different transplant approaches, including PBSC transplants from HLA-matched relatives, unrelated cord blood transplants, haploidentical transplants, and CD34 selected stem cell transplants. Patient characteristics were varied among all groups. The number of allogeneic and autologous transplants performed at the NIHBT has increased steadily every year since the initiation of our transplant program. By 2022, 547 transplant procedures had been performed, including 268 autologous and 279 allogeneic transplants. Allogeneic transplants were performed for both malignant and nonmalignant hematological diseases, with acute leukemia (AL) being the most common indication for allogeneic HCT. The majority of recipients undergoing allogeneic transplantation received G-CSF mobilized PBSC allografts from either HLA identical or haplo-identical relatives, with a smaller percentage of patients receiving a UCB transplant or a PBSC allograft that had been CD34+ selected. Amongst the 279 recipients of an allogeneic transplant, mortality rates within day 100 and beyond day 100 were 12.6% and 26.2% respectively. Overall survival (OS) and event-free survival at 5 years in benign and malignant subgroups were 81% and 73% vs 52% and 48% respectively. Through collaboration with international transplant experts, the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion in Hanoi has stood up the most active transplant center in the northern region of Vietnam. Patients coming from low-income financial backgrounds are now able to receive a variety of different state-of-the-art transplant approaches that are affordable and have been associated with excellent long-term outcomes.
