Summary
Experience of collection and transplant of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) was evaluated in children with active cancer. We found that the procedure is effective and safe. Preliminary therapeutic results of autografts with PBSC for children with acute leukemias or solid tumors are encouraging. A well-designed clinical protocol for PBSCT could provide an efficient and realistic stage for future evaluation of the potential of forthcoming cytokines in the field of cancer medicine. Moreover, an effective and relatively tumor-free form of hematopoietic support for cancer patients undergoing myeloablative chemotherapy (“indirect purging”) may be possible through the use of purified CD34+ cells. We predict that its role outside of cancer therapy will continue to evolve.
