Potential advantages of non-myeloablative stem cell transplantation (NST).

  • Minimal procedure-related toxicity and mortality.

  • Minimal risks of late effects in young individuals (e.g. growth retardation; endocrine adenopathies; sterility, etc).

  • For elderly individuals with AML and MDS.

  • For patients with poor performance status.

  • For continuous GVL effects by DLI in mixed chimeras.

  • Transient mixed chimerism may allow better control of GVHD (yet to be proven).
