Abstract
Hematopoietic reconstitution using autologous blood stem cells after high-dose chemoradiotherapy has been achieved successfully in patients with acute leukemias,1–4 non-Hodgkin's lymphomas,5–6 or solid tumors.7 Some patients, however, had incomplete hematopoietic engraftment, which may be due to insufficient numbers of progenitors infused or to the recurrence of leukemic cells. 1,8,9 Thus, the question arises: Is there a safe minimum number of blood progenitors that will produce complete hematopoietic reconstitution following supralethal therapy? To answer this question, we reviewed the data from 46 patients who have undergone autologus blood stem cell transplantation (ABSCT) in six different centers in France.
