For this purpose, we compared Cyclosporin A (CsA) versus Tacrolimus (TAC) with respect to their influence on the incidence and type of CNS-NC after allo-HSCT.we retrospectively analyzed incidence, risk factors and impact on outcome of CNS-NC diagnosed during the post-transplantation follow-up in patients with different high-risk hematological malignancies who underwent allo-HSCT at our institution over a time frame of 20 years. All patients included in the analysis received CNI (CsA or TAC) as graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis.we evaluated a total of 739 consecutive patients transplanted from 12/1999 to 04/2019. Within a median follow-up period of 6.8 years, we observed a CNS-NC incidence of 17 %K allogeneic stem cell transplantation (Other) %K neurological complications (Other) %K tacrolimus (Other) %K transplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (Other) %F PUB:(DE-HGF)16 %9 Journal Article %$ pmid:38508452 %R 10.1016/j.jtct.2024.03.017 %U https://inrepo02.dkfz.de/record/289081
