Abstract

Idiopathic severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a rare condition, and hemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remains the only curative therapy; HSCT is considered first-line treatment in patients less than 35 years old with SAA with a matched sibling donor (MSD); Current best practice is less clear in those without an MSD. Immunosuppressive therapy (IST) has traditionally been thought of as first-line treatment in those without an MSD; however, there remains a significant risk of relapse and clonal evolution; Outcomes following matched unrelated donor (MUD) HSCT in SAA have improved because of advances in the development of high-resolution HLA typing, developments in supportive care, and implementation of novel conditioning regimens; After careful discussion with the patient and parents, MUD HSCT could be considered first-line treatment in selected patients.
