LAUSR

An increased incidence of subsequent solid cancers (SSCs) has been reported in long‐term survivors of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo‐HSCT), and SSC is associated with inferior mortality and morbidity. Previous studies showed that the incidence of SSC is significantly higher in those who underwent allo‐HSCT from HLA‐mismatched donors, suggesting that persistent alloimmunity may predispose patients to SSCs. It was recently reported that, in a cohort of patients who received allo‐HSCT from an unrelated donor matched at HLA‐A, ‐B, ‐C, ‐DRB1/3/4/5, and ‐DQB1 loci, HLA‐DPB1 alloimmunity determined by high mismatched eplets (MEs) and Predicted Indirectly Recognizable HLA Epitopes (PIRCHE) score (PS), was associated with relapse protection and increased risk of acute graft‐versus‐host disease (GVHD).
