Voices from China at the EBMT Annual Meeting Prof. Jianping Zhang: High CD34⁺ Cell Dose Significantly Reduces EBV Reactivation and Improves Survival in Pediatric Aplastic Anemia Patients Undergoing UCBT

Pediatric aplastic anemia (AA) patients undergoing umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) face outcomes that are closely tied to the infused cell dose. While recommended CD34⁺ cell doses have been established for hematologic malignancies, no clear standard exists for AA, leaving an important gap in clinical decision-making.

Voices from China at the EBMT Annual Meeting Prof. Peihua Lu / Prof. Yanli Zhao: Long-Term Outcomes of HSCT in Elderly Patients with Hematologic Malignancies—A Single-Center Comparison of Haploidentical, Matched Sibling, and Matched Unrelated Donors

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in elderly patients with hematologic malignancies remains associated with substantial treatment-related risks. Choosing among haploidentical, matched sibling, and matched unrelated donors remains challenging due to the lack of robust head-to-head comparative data.
Voices from China at the EBMT Annual Meeting Prof. Hui Wang / Prof. Man Chen: CD72 as a Meaningful Marker and Target for MRD Assessment After CD19 CAR-T Therapy in B-ALL

Voices from China at the EBMT Annual Meeting Prof. Hui Wang / Prof. Man Chen: CD72 as a Meaningful Marker and Target for MRD Assessment After CD19 CAR-T Therapy in B-ALL

Although CD19 CAR-T therapy achieves high remission rates in relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R B-ALL), relapse driven by CD19 antigen loss poses a major challenge for MRD monitoring and long-term disease management. Identifying more stable biomarkers has therefore become essential for improving response assessment and prognostic evaluation.

Voices from China at the EBMT Annual Meeting Prof. Xingyu Cao & Bixin Li: Efficacy and Safety of PD-1 Inhibitors in Acute Leukemia Patients with MRD Positivity After Allogeneic HSCT

Voices from China at the EBMT Annual Meeting Prof. Xingyu Cao & Bixin Li: Efficacy and Safety of PD-1 Inhibitors in Acute Leukemia Patients with MRD Positivity After Allogeneic HSCT

Relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains one of the central challenges in the treatment of acute leukemia. Minimal residual disease (MRD) positivity serves as an important early warning signal for relapse, and identifying effective interventions during this critical window has become a major focus of clinical research.
