Hematopoietic-Cell Transplantation at 50

Appelbaum, Frederick R.·2007·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

September 12, 2007, marked the 50th anniversary of E. Donnall (Don) Thomas's initial report of a radical new approach to cancer treatment: radiation and chemotherapy followed by the intravenous infusion of bone marrow.1 That publication represented the beginning of a long series of laboratory and clinical investigations; more than a decade would pass before the procedure achieved its first successes. Yet Thomas's persistence in the face of criticism and clinical failure ultimately paid off in a new form of therapy that was used to treat approximately 50,000 people worldwide in 2006 (see timeline).Thomas's interest in the possibility of hematopoietic-cell . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
