The document discusses stem cell transplantation, including potential stem cell donors, indications for allogeneic and autologous transplantation, human leucocyte antigens, and complications of stem cell transplantation. It provides tables on stem cell donors, transplantation indications, HLA antigens and classes, early and late complications of transplantation, and staging of acute graft-versus-host disease.
These are diseases for which transplants of blood-forming stem cells (Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplants, HSCT) are a standard treatment. For some diseases they are the only therapy, and in other diseases they are only employed when front-line therapies have failed or the disease is very aggressive.
