John M. Pagel, MD, PhD, Megan Othus, PhD, et al – Barriers to human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing and cytogenetic testing can significantly impact the overall survival of patients newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In this landmark study, a concerted effort to address those issues and streamline the initiation of donor identification and referral for hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) consultation in early disease state led to a higher CR1 transplantation rate and improved 2-year overall survival.
