Disease Burden at the Time of Transplantation Is a Primary Predictor of Outcomes in Pediatric MDS: A Single-Center Experience

Background: Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) remains the only curative therapy for pediatric myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) in all but rare cases. While HCT outcomes for pediatric MDS are similar across the largest registry and single-center trials, factors identified as contributing to inferior outcomes vary from study to study. We performed an analysis to provide more clarity on the prognostic implications of disease characteristics, including blast burden and cytogenetic abnormalities, in the current era.
