This data is only based on unrelated transplants performed from Jan. 2002 to Dec. 2006. It also includes one year post-transplant follow-up, through Dec. 2007. The first number represents the number of patients alive at one year post transplant. The second number is a total number of transplanted patients in the particular group.

Key:
CP = chronic phase (1st or 2nd) BP = blastic phase
AP = accelerated phase CR = complete remission (1st, 2nd, 3rd or more)
RLPS = relapse PIF = primary induction failure
