Early Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Improves Survival in Youth with SDS

This report highlights that early hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) significantly boosts survival rates in children with Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome (SDS), a rare bone marrow condition. While over 90% of children with SDS survive beyond age 20, fewer than 30% benefit from this treatment, indicating potential for improved outcomes with earlier intervention.
