It sounds like a good thing. It could be great, but the findings
reported here (although promising) are only preliminary -- 10
patients. Further, only 4/10 patients had a successful result.
this is not overwhelming. They claim that these patients were sick,
and none should have survived, but this is true of all BMT patients.
Was there a control group of equally sick patients who received
conventional treatment? I didn't see one. This may be no better than
regular BMT. Why did the others fail? Was it graft vs. host disease?
(rejection of the new marrow). How does this compare, again
with regular BMT? Hackensack U is not really one of the top 10 in
medical research.
