Data are presented as mean (SD), median (IQR) or number (%), as appropriate.

ANC, absolute neutrophil count; BV, brentuximab vedotin; CAD, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin; CHO(E)P, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, (etoposide), prednisolone; CR, complete remission; DHAC, dexamethasone, cytarabine, carboplatin; HD ARA-C, high-dose cytarabine; IQR, interquartile range; PD, progressive disease; PR, partial remission; (R-)DHAP, (rituximab) dexamethasone, cytarabine, cisplatin; (R-)VIM, (rituximab) etoposide, iphosphamide, methotrexate; SD, standard deviation; VGPR, very good partial response; WBC, white blood cell count. Other chemomobilization regimens include: CYVE (cytarabine, etoposide), mini-BEAM (carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, melphalan), AraC/TT (high dose cytarabine and thiotepa).

For lymphoma patients with stable disease or PD or PR.

Peripheral blood levels were recorded before start of the chemomobilization regimen.
