The 2022 Tandem Meetings | Can alloHSCT be avoided in Ph+ ALL?

Usman Ali Akbar • 19 Apr 2022
The 2022 Tandem Meetings
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Leukemia

Usman Ali Akbar, MBBS, University of Louisville, Louisville, KY, debates whether allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) can be avoided in Philadelphia-chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL). Dr Akbar argues that currently, alloHSCT still has an important role in Ph+ ALL as the relapse rate remains very high in this patient population, and more data and newer more effective drugs are required to stop performing alloHSCT. This interview took place at the Transplantation & Cellular Therapy (TCT) Meetings of ASTCT™ and CIBMTR® 2022 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
