Since several years, it has become clear that intermediate-risk acute myeloid leukaemia patients in an acceptable clinical condition can benefit from allogeneic stem cell transplantation thanks to the improvement in relapse free survival. This study retrospectively analysed the outcome of all intermediate-risk acute myeloid leukaemia patients treated with intensive chemotherapy at the Ghent University Hospital between 01-01-2013 and 30-04-2017 in an effort to determine the impact of a new in-hospital treatment guideline adopted in April 2015. This guideline recommends all intermediate-risk acute myeloid leukaemia patients who are fit for intensive therapy to proceed to allogeneic stem cell transplantation in first complete remission. Unfortunately, we could not demonstrate an improvement in the relapse free survival after implementation of the treatment guideline. Nevertheless, exploratory analysis of the entire group suggests a survival benefit from allogeneic stem cell transplantation, with significantly improved relapse free survival and a trend towards a better overall survival.

Multiple sclerosis is considered to be an immune mediated inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system. It mainly affects young, socioeconomic active patients. Although our armamentarium for this disease has significantly evolved in recent years some patients remain refractory to conventional therapies. In these cases, autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation can be considered as a therapeutic option. Decreasing morbidity, mortality and increasing patient awareness have led to rising inquiry by our patients about this treatment option. With the aim of a standardised protocol and data registration, a Belgian working party on stem cell therapy in multiple sclerosis was established. In this paper, we report the consensus protocol of this working party on autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation in multiple sclerosis.
