Abstract
High-risk acute myeloid leukemia has been associated with a poor outcome. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) represents the only curative option for eligible patients. Relapse after HSCT is a dramatic event with poor chances of survival. With the aim of reducing the rate of post-HSCT relapse, maintenance treatment has been investigated in this setting. Results from clinical trials suggest an advantage in the use of a maintenance strategy; however, standardized guidelines are not yet available due to the lack of prospective clinical trials. In this review, we have reported the most important strategies adopted as post-HSCT maintenance, highlighting their efficacy, but the current research also opens questions.
期刊介绍：
Current Oncology is a peer-reviewed, Canadian-based and internationally respected journal. Current Oncology represents a multidisciplinary medium encompassing health care workers in the field of cancer therapy in Canada to report upon and to review progress in the management of this disease.
We encourage submissions from all fields of cancer medicine, including radiation oncology, surgical oncology, medical oncology, pediatric oncology, pathology, and cancer rehabilitation and survivorship. Articles published in the journal typically contain information that is relevant directly to clinical oncology practice, and have clear potential for application to the current or future practice of cancer medicine.
