The use of peripheral blood progenitor cells as an autologous hematopoietic sup...

We report the results of PBPC collection by large-volume leukaphereses and the hematologic recovery after high-dose chemotherapy supported by autologous PBPC reinfusion in a series of cancer patients treated at the Hematological Intensive Care Unit (UCHI) (Portuguese Institute of Oncology, Lisbon). Large volume leukaphereses were used to increase the efficacy of the PBPC collection. This modification of the sta...

We review the rationale for PBPC transplantation and the results reported in the literature. In order to prolong complete remissions and increase cure rates, high-dose chemotherapy is frequently used in the treatment of selected neoplasias. Hematological toxicity can be overcome by the infusion of autologous hemopoietic progenitors. Recently, peripheral blood is being used as the preferred source for hemopoieti...

Methods for preserving bone marrow for autologous transplantation.

For Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation (ABMT) the patient's own marrow is harvested before myelotoxic high-dose radio-chemotherapy and later returned to promote hemopoietic reconstitution. Between harvest and return the bone marrow must be preserved. The time elapsed between harvest and return depends on the intended therapy. Although--bone marrow may keep its hematopoietic potential for a few days without ...
