title: Peripheral blood stem cell collection and autografting in high risk lymphomas.
abstract: Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) were collected from 29 patients with high risk Hodgkin's disease (n = 3) or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (n = 26) in partial remission or first sensitive relapse. Patients had either bone marrow involvement or hypoplastic bone marrow. The conditioning regimen prior PBSC collection included amsacrine and cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) or Ara-C alone. PBSC collection was performed after leukocyte counts reached 1 x 10(9)/1. A good yield was obtained in 23 patients, whereas sufficient numbers of CFU-GM were not obtained in six cases. Twenty-one patients have been transplanted. All patients except one achieved bone marrow engraftment. Eight patients are in complete remission (mean duration 15 months). The estimated 2 years survival rate is 46.4% (CI 25-68%). This procedure would seems a good alternative in poor prognosis lymphomas.
