Mini transplant shows promise for blood cancers – but trial ended early

This study tested a reduced-intensity bone marrow transplant, or 'mini transplant,' for people with blood cancers like lymphoma and leukemia. The transplant used marrow from a relative and was combined with chemotherapy drugs to help the donor cells take hold. Only 15 people took part before the trial was stopped early. The main goal was to see how well the donor cells engrafted, but the small size and early end mean we can't draw firm conclusions.
