There were 243 patients in the low-risk group (53% related and 47% unrelated donors); 537 patients in the standard-risk group (58% related and 42% unrelated donors), and 312 patients in the high-risk group (54% related and 46% unrelated donors).

Before HCT, 14% of patients had minimal residual disease.
