Program Description
Results of the BMT CTN Protocol 0201 PBSC versus Marrow study were presented during the Plenary session at the 2011 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting in San Diego. This randomized, multicenter, phase III trial compared survival rates for patients receiving PBSC with patients receiving bone marrow.
This session will provide a second opportunity to hear the ASH presentation and learn about the results of this important study.
