| Abstract: | The role of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) in the treatment of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in children is reviewed and critically evaluated in this evidence-based review. Specific criteria were used for searching the published literature, grading the quality and strength of evidence, and assigning the strength of treatment recommendations. Genomic characterization and response to therapy have been critical in the risk stratification of pediatric AML. Although some children are cured with chemotherapy alone, allogeneic HCT offers a survival benefit in selected patients with certain unfavorable risk features and is the standard of care for children who relapse following initial treatment with chemotherapy. Important aspects of HCT include recipient characteristics, donor source, and preparative regimen. The goals of HCT are to reduce incidence of relapse, enhance graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effects, and minimize graft-versus-host disease. Relapse following HCT remains a significant cause of treatment failure, and interventions pre- and post-HCT, especially those that may augment GVL, are an important focus of ongoing investigations. © 2022 The American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy |
