Is peripheral blood or bone marrow a better source of stem cells for transplantation in cases of HLA-matched unrelated donors? A meta-analysis

摘要

Background: Peripheral-blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) are both widely used in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, it has been controversial whether the use of PB or BM leads to a more favorable outcome of HSCT that involves unrelated HLA-matched donors.
