title: Allogeneic and autologous transplantation for haematological diseases, solid tumours and immune disorders: current practice in Europe in 1998. Accreditation Sub-Committee of the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation.
abstract: In 1996, the Accreditation Sub-Committee of the EBMT published a special report summarising current practice in Europe in relation to haemopoietic stem cell transplants for haematological diseases, solid tumours and immune disorders. An updated report is presented here. The major change has been the recognition that transplant practice is appreciably different between children and adults, who should therefore be considered in separate categories. The autoimmune disorders for which autografting may be useful are now specified. Non-CML myeloproliferative disorders and AL amyloidosis have been added to the list of indications for transplant procedures in adults. Other changes have been incorporated into the revised tables.
