Drugs vs transplants in acute leukemias

Arnon Nagler, MD, from Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, Israel, discusses the use of drugs and transplantation in acute leukemias. Prof Nagler describes how drug therapy and transplantation are used together in order to achieve the best outcomes for the patients. For example, with the help of the drugs, the mass of a tumor can be reduced pre-transplant, which in turn means, that less chemotherapy may be required.
