title: [High-dose chemotherapy with autologous bone marrow transplantation in children with high-risk malignant neoformations].
abstract: The role of high-dose chemotherapy; with subsequent autologous bone marrow rescue (AutoBMR) for high risk or recurrence of advanced solid tumor was evaluated in 16 children (August 1998-March 2001). At present, 11 (69%) patients are still alive, showing no evidence of the disease, 11-31 mo after therapy (median follow-up of 17 mo). Tumor progression was reported in 5 (31%) at months 5, 6, 8, 9 and 11 (after AutoBMR rhabdosarcoma--3; Ewing's sarcoma--2). Overall and recurrence-free survival among all patients was 74 and 66%, respectively.
