متن کاملImmune reconstitution and immunotherapy after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
APPROXIMATELY 10,000 autologous hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplants are performed worldwide each year for malignant diseases.1 Results of randomized trials in recent years suggest that high-dose chemotherapy followed by infusion of autologous HSCs can offer prolonged disease-free survival in hematologic malignancies including non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in relapse,2 acute myelogenous leukemia,...
متن کاملOral Ciprofloxacin Prophylaxis in Patients Undergoing High Dose Therapy and Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
