Bone Marrow Transplant Flashcards

1
Q

Bone Marrow Transplant

A

Give a patient a toxic drug and then give the patient stem cells can potentially help them recover their marrow and give them the best change to get rid of the cancer

Q

Define Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant

A

Procedure in which HSCs are removed from donor and infused into a recipient (donor and recipient may be same person)

Q

Stem Cells + Lineage

A
  • Can choose to go down the myeloid or lymphoid lineage and then it will commit
  • It can also divide itself and continue to grow themselves within the marrow without losing their stem cell properties

Q

Peripheral Blood Stem Cells

A

Collected by apheresis
o Giving a patient chemotherapy or specialized growth factor(such as GMCSF) at high doses (10-15mg/kg) to push the stem cells out into the peripheral blood
o Hook up to a machine to collect CD34 cells

Q

Cord Blood Stem Cells Process

A

o Consent donors → separate placenta → collect umbilical cord blood → isolate stem cells into 20 mL and 5 mL DMSO → overwrap 25 mL PCB unit and place in canister → Insert PCB unit into CRF module → Initiate automatic CRF and archival of PCB unit

Q

Cord Blood Stem Cells Amount

A

Very small amount but very rich in stem cells

Less risk of GVHD

Q

Autologous BMT Donor and Recipient

A

Donor and recipient are the same

17
Q

Autlogous BMT Use

A

 Primarily as a means to dose escalate
 Infusion of autologous stem cells serves to rescue the patient from the myelosuppressive effects of high dose chemotherapy

18
Q

Allogenic Donor and Recipient

A

Donor: non-cancer person
Recipient: cancer person

19
Q

Allogenic BMT Use

A

 To replace missing hematopoietic or lymphoid component in aplastic anemia or immune disorders
 To rescue the recipient from myeloablative therapy for treatment of malignant disease

20
Q

Define Graft-Versus-Tumor-Effect

A

• The donor cells actually attack the tumor cells and help get rid of it through immune response (improved outcome for that cancer)

21
Q

Autologous SCT Advantages

A

Availability
Able to perform in older patients
No GVHD

22
Q

Autologous SCT Disadvantages

A

Risk of reinfusion of disease

No GVT effect

23
Q

Autologous BMT in what Cancer

A

Lymphomas
Multiple myeloma
Solid tumors

24
Q

Allogenic SCT Advantages

A

No risk of reinfusion

GVT effect

25
Allogenic SCT Disadvantages
Availability | GVHD
26
Who is the best donator for allogenic SCT?
Sibilings
27
General Characteristics of Acceptable Donors?
```  Minimal co-morbidities  Capable of tolerating collection  Negative for HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C  No current malignancies  Willing to provide consent  18-30 years old  Less pregnancies ```
28
Matched Related Donors
 Only requires an antigen match at HLA-A, B, and DR (6/6) |  Matched sibling donors (MSD) are the preferred donor
29
Unmatched Related Donors
 Typically haploidentical donors (parents) |  Only considered out of necessity
30
Matched Unrelated Donors
 Requires allele matches (HLA-A, B, C, DR, and DQ (10/10)) | May require up to 6 months
31
Class I Region of HLA
All nucleated cells | HLA A/B/C
32
Class II Region of HLA
Immune System Cells | HLA-DR/DQ
33
Course of BMT
Mobilize cells → collect cells → store cells → conditioning → transplant → post-BMT period → Engraftment
34
Define Conditioning
High dose chemotherapy to wipe out patient's marrow of normal cells and cancer cells
35
Post-BMT Period
 Stem cells will take 7-21 days to make new stem cells and to differentiate into other cells  High risk of infection  High risk of bleed  Chemo-radio therapy side effects
36
Define Engraftment
Hemoglobin, WBC and platelets are normalized
37
Options for Mobilization Regimen
 Myelosuppressive chemotherapy with or without CSFs  CSFs alone (G-CSF or GM-CSF)  Plerixafor – prevents stem cells from staying in the bone marrow
38
Allogeneic Course Differences
GVHD and risk of infection
39
Allogeneic Risk of Infection
Can try to prevent Early: gram negative/positive, candida, aspergillus, HSV Mild (2-3months post): same + CMV/PJP Late (>3 months post): varicella zoster, mold, PJP
