Spontaneous regression of primary progressive Hodgkin's lymphoma in a pediatric patient: a case report and review of literature.
Spontaneous regression of malignancies is a very rare phenomenon. Our research of existing literature yielded only 16 cases of Hodgkin's lymphoma which regressed spontaneously. The outcome of primary progressive Hodgkin's lymphoma is poor even with salvage chemotherapy and autologous bone marrow transplantation. Here we present a case of primary progressive Hodgkin's lymphoma, which regressed s...
متن کاملOral Ciprofloxacin Prophylaxis in Patients Undergoing High Dose Therapy and Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Background: Antibiotic prophylaxis is usually used in allogenic stem cell transplantation, but its use in Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (ASCT) is controversial. We evaluated the efficacy of ciprofloxacin prophylaxis in ASCT. Materials and Methods: To identify the efficacy of ciprofloxacin on the incidence of neutropenic fever and its complications, 72 patients had been admitted to Talegh...

Current strategies in first-line treatment aim at further improving outcome and thereby preventing therapy-induced complications, such as infertility, cardiopulmonary toxicity, an...
متن کاملConditioning regimen using busulfan plus melphalan in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: can this conditioning regimen be used in autologous or allogeneic transplantation for acute leukemia?
The majority of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) achieve complete remission (CR) after induction/consolidation chemotherapy. The optimal post-remission treatment is still a matter of debate. However, the intensification of post-remission treatment, including high-dose chemotherapy followed by infusion of autologous or allogeneic stem cells, has progressively increased, considering the...
