title: [Treatment of acute leukemia with allogeneic stem cell transplantation].
abstract: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a standard therapeutic option in the treatment of patients with malignant hematologic diseases and some acquired or inherited nonmalignant hematologic disorders. It is the most efficacious method for eradication of acute leukemia, its efficacy being described by DFS (Disease Free Survival) and OS (Overall Survival), however, still associated with a high Transplant Related Mortality (TRM) rate. At Department of Hematology, University Department of Medicine, Zagreb University Hospital Center, bone marrow transplantation has been a standard procedure since 1983. Since that time, 281 patients with acute leukemia have undergone allotransplantation at our Department. Results are presented of 72 patients with acute myeloid leukemia transplanted at our Department during the 1993-2007 period.
