Abstract

For patients with leukemia, bone marrow transplantation provides a mechanism for avoiding the lethal consequences of marrow damage, making it possible to give “superlethal” chemoradiotherapy, and if the immune system of the transplanted marrow is capable of exerting an antileukemic effect, marrow transplantation may also be effective as a form of adoptive immunotherapy. A review of the earlier literature regarding marrow transplantation has been published [1].

These investigations were supported in part by Grant CA 18029, awarded by the National Cancer Institute, DHHS. Dr. Thomas is the recipient of Research Career Award AI 02425 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
