The relapse rate for children with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) status post hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) approaches 50% within 5 years. Graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) is thought to play important role in the treatment of JMML. For this reason, careful management of immunosuppressive drugs after HSCT is crucial. This case report demonstrates that rapamycin and GVL represent a viable medical strategy for the management of pediatric patients with JMML who relapse following status post-HSCT.
青少年骨髓单核细胞白血病(JMML)患儿造血干细胞移植(HSCT)后5年内的复发率接近50%。移植物抗白血病(GVL)被认为在JMML的治疗中起重要作用。因此,HSCT后仔细管理免疫抑制药物至关重要。本病例报告表明,雷帕霉素和GVL是治疗HSCT后复发的JMML儿科患者的一种可行的医学策略。
