    Abstract : In the last decades, the upper age limit for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation has increased from 50-60 years to 70-75 years of age, in part due to the development of allogeneic transplantation following reduced-intensity or truly nonmyeloablative conditioning. This review describes challenges and opportunities of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in the elderly.
