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.
