[High-dose chemotherapy: principles, indications and complications].
Cure rates of children and adolescents with malignant diseases have improved since the introduction of systemic chemotherapy in cooperative trials in the recent 10 to 15 years. Tumors resistant to conventional doses have responded to high dose regimens. The rationale for the use of high dose regimens is discussed as well as adequate methods of protecting against severe and often lifethreatening complications.
