title: [Outcome of autologous bone marrow transplantation in 73 patients with acute leukemia].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the clinical outcome of autologous bone marrow transplantation(ABMT) in acute leukemias.
  
  
  METHODS
  Data of 73 acute leukemia patients performed ABMT in our hospital from October 1986 to December 1997 were retrospectively analyzed. The median age was 25.5(9-48) years. Forty-three of them were ANLL [CR1 35, CR2 or early relapse (ER)8], 30 were ALL (CR1 25, CR2 or ER 5). Conditioning regimens were CTX 120 mg/kg + STBI 9-10 Gy or Bu 16 mg/kg or Mel 160-180 mg/m2 + Ara-C 4 g/m2.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All patients engrafted successfully. The median follow-up duration was 806 (32-3400) days. The 3-year probabilities of disease-free survival (DFS) for ANLL and ALL in CR1 were 54.9 +/- 7.7% and 67.0% +/- 10.6%, respectively, and the probabilities of relapse were 39.3% +/- 9.3% and 23.7% +/- 10.6%, respectively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  To decrease relapse and increase DFS, patients with acute leukemia in CR1 who have no HLA-matched related donor are recommended for ABMT.
