PG - 44-51 AB - High dose chemotherapy with autologous hemopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) is a common method of treatment of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). AHCT is a treatment of choice for patients who have no matched family donor. AHCT is particularly recommended for older patients, excluded from allogeneic transplantation procedures. Prospective randomised trials have shown better efficacy of AHCT comparing with conventional chemotherapy in postremission treatment of AML. Both in vitro and in vivo bone marrow purging allow to achieve better transplantation results. Since two years peripheral blood instead of bone marrow is increasingly used as a source of transplant material. It allows more rapid hemopoiesis regrowth. Various methods of immunotherapy such as interleukin-2, Linomid and mixed hemopoietic cell transplantation (delayed donor lymphocytes transfusion) are used to evoke an autologous graft versus leukemia (GvL) phenomenon and to reduce AML relapse rate. Analysis of prognostic factors allows to identify a group of AML patients for whom AHCT is strongly recommended.
