Advances in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Mobilization and Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation
Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) which give rise to different blood cell types are present within the bone marrow microenvironment, especially in flat bones such as skull, vertebrae, pelvis and chest. Interacting factors such as stromal derived factor-1/CXCR4, very late antigen-4/vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, Lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1/ intercellular adhesion molec...

متن کاملBevacizumab therapy before autologous stem-cell transplantation for POEMS syndrome.
POEMS is an acronym for a rare multisystemic syndrome encompassing polyneuropathy (P), organomegaly (O), endocrinopathy (E), monoclonal gammopathy (M), skin changes (S) and additional features variably expressed [1]. POEMS syndrome is associated with high vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) serum levels. This angiogenic factor likely plays a pathogenic role, in particular for neuropathy, ...
متن کاملPeripheral blood stem cell transplantation in 16 patients with POEMS syndrome, and a review of the literature.
POEMS syndrome is characterized by peripheral neuropathy (PN), a clonal plasma cell disorder (PCD), organomegaly, endocrinopathy, skin changes, edema, sclerotic bone lesions, and thrombocytosis. Based on the improved response rates observed with peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) in patients with other PCDs, autologous PBSCT may be an attractive treatment option for this syndrom...
متن کاملAutologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia.
We report the results of a prospective, randomized phase 3 trial evaluating autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (ASCT) versus intensive consolidation chemotherapy in newly diagnosed AML patients in complete remission (CR1). Patients with AML (16-60 years) in CR1 after 2 cycles of intensive chemotherapy and not eligible for allogeneic SCT were randomized between intensive chemo...
