title: Relation between hematological recovery and number of transplanted mononuclear cells in patients after high dose chemotherapy with peripheral blood stem cell rescue.
abstract: The aim of the study is to investigate the relation between the hematological recovery in patients after high dose chemotherapy and peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) rescue and the number of reinfused previously collected stem cells assessed by the number of mononuclear cells (MNCs), CFU-GMs and CD34(+) cells in th harvest. Forty nine patients mobilized with different techniques were transplanted. Our data indicate that the number of reinfused MNCs and CFU-GMS has a statistical significant relationship with the duration of leukopenia and thrombocytopenia following high dose chemotherapy and PBSC rescue in patients with various malignancies.
