EBMT 2025 | Prof. Fang Liu: From Predictive Models to Rare Disease Cures—Advancing Pediatric Cord Blood Transplantation

At the 2025 EBMT Annual Meeting, cord blood transplantation (UCBT) emerged as a transformative strategy in the treatment of pediatric hematologic malignancies. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remains a life-saving therapy, and UCBT is gaining attention for its unique clinical advantages. During the 51st Annual Meeting of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT 2025) held in Florence, Italy, Hematology Frontier invited Prof. Fang Liu from the Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, to share insights into the current role of transplantation in pediatric hematologic malignancies. She also highlighted her team’s latest findings in UCBT and discussed significant developments in the field of pediatric transplantation presented at the conference.

EBMT 2025 | Prof. Xiaoxia Hu: Focusing on Comprehensive Leukemia Management and Key Findings from the Ruijin Transplant Team

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains a cornerstone in the treatment of various hematologic diseases. However, several peri-transplant challenges persist, particularly regarding the optimal timing of transplantation, the role of consolidation therapy, and maintenance strategies. At the 51st Annual Meeting of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT 2025), the transplant team from Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai JiaoTong University School of Medicine, presented several notable studies. Among them, three studies—B254, B259, and A001—focused on comprehensive leukemia management and transplant integration, drawing significant attention from the clinical community. Hematology Frontier invited Prof. Xiaoxia Hu to provide in-depth commentary on these research findings.
