Tania Jain, MBBS, Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, discusses the findings of a study using the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) registry data to investigate the effect of donor type on stem cell transplantation (SCT) outcomes in patients with myelofibrosis (MF). This analysis highlighted that the availability of a fully matched donor should not delay SCT in patients who require it, as haploidentical donor transplants confer similar survival to matched unrelated donor (MUD) transplants. Further investigation is needed to develop optimal strategies to prevent graft failure, especially in haploidentical SCT. This interview took place at the 1st Annual MPN Workshop of the Carolinas in Asheville, NC.
