Is this a follow on question from lankisterguy 's reply of a few days ago?

"The success ratio for SCTs is too low for me at 30%. It is rumored that 10% succumb during the transplant, 30% fail to get the transplant to take, 30% get GVHD (Graft vs. Host Disease)."

The risk of death does tend to increase with age. About 10 years ago when I investigated bone marrow transplants in Australia, the risk was about 20% at 50 years of age.
