[Autologous peripheral hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in leukemia].
Six cases of acute leukemia patients were treated with APHSCT and the clinical results were satisfactory. The preparatory marrow ablative chemoradiotherapy regimen before APHSCT was same as that for autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT). The number of mononuclear cells infused to restore the hematopoietic function ranged from 1.65 to 2.92 x 10(8)/kg and these cells yielded 0.17 to 2.26 x 10(4)/kg CFU-GM. The hematopoietic and immunological function of patients returned to normal level 25 to 38 days after APHSCT; the recovery was faster than that of ABMT and FLT. One patient each died of recurrence of leukemia and fungi septicemia 90 and 70 days after transplantation respectively, whereas the other four patients have survived for 9, 8, 4, and 2 months respectively.
