Double vs. single cord blood transplantation in adolescent and adult hematological malignancies with heavier body weight ( ≥50 kg).

CONCLUSIONS: For adolescent and adult hematological malignancies with heavier body weight (≥50kg), double-unit CBT has an inferior clinical outcome when compared with single-unit CBT having a sufficient cell dose. Double-unit CBT should only reserve for patients who need an urgent transplant but lacking of a related or unrelated donor and without an adequately dosed single CB.
