Abstract

We successfully performed two allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantations from matched unrelated donors without the use of blood-product support after treosulfan-based conditioning in two women with acute myeloid leukemia who were Jehovah's witnesses and refused transfusions of blood products.
