Differential Effect of Graft-versus-Host Disease on Survival in Acute Leukemia according to Donor Type

Purpose: The anti-leukemic activity of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) depends on both the intensity of conditioning regimen and the strength of the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect. However, it is unclear whether the sensitivity of the GVL effects differs between donor type and graft source. Experimental Design: We retrospectively evaluated the effect of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) on transplant...
