Brief Summary
- 1.At the same time of registration, patients will be randomized to one of the two conditioning therapy groups; Arm I (intravenous busulfan plus cyclophosphamide; BuCy) or Arm II (intravenous busulfan plus fludarabine; BuFlu).
- 2.Randomization will be a stratified permuted-block design. 2.1The patients will be stratified into standard risk vs. high risk group, and related vs. unrelated donor. Standard risk group will be defined as follows: patients with acute leukemia in first remission, CML in chronic phase, and MDS (RA or RARS categories). High risk group will be defined as follows: patients with acute leukemia in relapse or in second or subsequent remission, CML in accelerated or blastic phase, and MDS (CMMoL or RAEB categories).

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients with acute leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, and other hematologic malignancies.
- Patients should have an HLA-identical or one-locus mismatched sibling, family or unrelated donor.
- Patients should be 15 years of age or older, but younger than 70 years.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients have major illness or organ failure.
- Patients have a psychiatric disorder or mental deficiency severe as to make compliance with the treatment unlike, and making informed consent impossible.
