Ali Bazarbachi, MD, PhD, American University of Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon, discusses the use of haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haploSCT) in treating non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). This approach allows all transplant-eligible patients to receive treatment, with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) as graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis significantly improving outcomes. While haploSCT demonstrates promising results compared to cord blood and matched unrelated donors, in the context of PTCy-based prophylaxis, HLA-matched sibling donors have more favorable outcomes. This interview took place at the 50th Annual Meeting of the EBMT in Glasgow, Scotland.
