EBMT Global Perspective | Professor Donal McLornan: Defining Remission Criteria and Optimizing Novel Combination Strategies for Bone Marrow Transplantation in MDS/MPN Overlap Syndromes

Myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MDS/MPN) overlap syndromes are rare hematologic malignancies characterized by marked clinical heterogeneity and significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation remains a key treatment option; however, the lack of standardized criteria for assessing post-transplant remission and relapse represents a major unmet clinical need.

EBMT Global Perspective | Professor Annalisa Ruggeri: Cord Blood Transplantation—From Established Platform to Frontier Therapeutic Modality

EBMT Global Perspective | Professor Annalisa Ruggeri: Cord Blood Transplantation—From Established Platform to Frontier Therapeutic Modality

Cord blood transplantation (CBT), an important modality within hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, has faced increasing competition in recent years from alternative donor strategies such as haploidentical transplantation. As a result, the field is undergoing a period of reassessment and transformation. Nevertheless, CBT retains irreplaceable value in selected patient populations, while its potential applications in cell and gene therapy as well as regenerative medicine continue to expand.
