as that it quite a milestone!



I recently heard a medical person at Sloan Kettering speaking in the hallway to another staff member (sounded as if he was training another person) who said the auto transplants work about 50% of the time. Just listening to others (at Sloan and the ACS Hope Lodge) it does not seem unusual to have one or two autos followed by an allo. But I guess if it works for half the population it is not a bad start.



One day they will have a better handle as to when and why it works on some people and not on others, seems they are still writing the book.
