Curr Oncol. 2024 Feb 26;31(3):1246-1252. doi: 10.3390/curroncol31030093.ABSTRACTSevere aplastic anemia (SAA) is a life-threatening type of aplastic anemia for which allogeneic stem cell transplantation or immunosuppressive therapy are the principal treatment modalities. Only about 25-30% of patients have a matched sibling donor, and finding an unrelated donor in ethnic minorities is a challenge.
