Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is used as consolidation for pediatric patients with high-risk AML in first complete remission (CR1). The definition of high-risk AML has evolved considerably over the past two decades with the successive identification of new unfavorable risk factors. We conducted a cross-study analysis to determine whether HSCT improves the outcomes of patients with contemporarily defined high-risk AML.
