Survival by Patient's Age, Disease Type and Stage
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.
| 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 |
