Autotransplants with peripheral blood stem cells and clinical results obtained in children: a review

Eur J Pediatr. 1993 Jul;152(7):546-54. doi: 10.1007/BF01954078.

Abstract

Peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) is increasingly used to support cancer treatment in adults and children. In this review we describe methodological aspects of PBSCT, compare it with autologous bone marrow transplantation (autoBMT), and review the first clinical results obtained with PBSCT in childhood.
