| T8 |
600-793 |
Sentence |
denotes |

Sentence |
denotes |
RESULTS: |
| T10 |
803-931 |

| T14 |
1266-1441 |
Sentence |
denotes |

1442-1454 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CONCLUSIONS: |
| T16 |
1455-1694 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Considering that the emergency situation may persist for months, cryopreserving allogeneic grafts can offer a lifesaving opportunity for patients whose allogeneic transplant cannot be postponed until after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. |
