About 70% of patients can survive for more than one year after successful leukemia transplantation, and some patients can even survive for more than ten years, with a life expectancy approaching that of a normal person.
The survival time after successful leukemia transplantation is closely related to the degree of malignancy of the leukemia, type of leukemia, pre-transplantation disease status, age of the donor and patient, and postoperative complications.
In general, those with low malignancy, chronic granulocytic leukemia, no remission prior to transplantation, donor and patient’s age ≤35 years, and no postoperative transplantation complications have a long survival time after transplantation. Those with high malignancy, acute myeloid leukemia, remission before transplantation, donor and patient’s age >35 years old, and with transplant-related complications have shorter survival time after transplantation.
Patients are advised to keep a good mindset and actively cooperate with their doctors for treatment in order to prolong the survival time and improve the quality of life.
