Overview
Overview
Hematopoitic stem cell transplant is the mainstay of treatment for CNL patients. It is recommended that every patients that are qualified for HSCT, take this treatment. Since, the therapy in blast phases has the poor outcomes, HSCT should be started as soon as possible in the disease course, before blast transformation. Splenic irradiation was used as a palliative treatment in patients of CNL with splenomegaly.
Indications
Indications
- Hematopoitic stem cell transplant (HSCT): HSCT is the only potential therapeutic option for patients with CNL. It is recommended that every patients that are qualified for HSCT, take this treatment. Since, the therapy in blast phases has the poor outcomes, HSCT should be started as soon as possible in the disease course, before blast transformation.[1][2][3][4][5]
- Complications and side effects of this therapy include:
- Infection
- Veno-occlusive disease
- Mucositis
- Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)
- Graft versus tumor effect
- Complications and side effects of this therapy include:
- Splenic irradiation: Splenic irradiation was used as a palliative treatment in patients of CNL with splenomegaly.[6]
