title: [Autologous stem cell harvesting after high dosage chemo- and/or growth factor therapy].
abstract: 5 patients with metastatic tumors and 4 patients with hematological malignancies were treated either with G- or GM-CSF alone (5 micrograms/kg s.c.) or in combination with cyclophosphamide (7 g/m2) or epirubicin (120 mg/m2) to reduce either tumor mass or to maintain remission and to prime for peripheral stem cell collection.
