Abstract
- The article discusses the study on hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation in elderly by Balester, et. al. The author views that elderly patients have a higher risk of relapse due to factors such as abnormal cytogenetics. However, age in and of itself does not predict for a poorer outcome, as demonstrated by the study. An overview of the main findings of the study is discussed.
