P029 Algorithm for haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplant in Panama

Haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) provides an opportunity for patients to benefit when HLA genotypically matched sibling is not available. Virtually all patients have at least one HLA partially matched family member, parent, sibling or child, who is immediately available to serve as a donor. In Panamá, between 2007 and 2014, the chance of finding genotypically identical sibling donor was only 36.7%, for these reasons we started in November 2013 HSCT, according to the protocol development in our Laboratory.
