Treatment plan. Patients were allowed any previous therapy excluding hematopoietic cell transplant. Patients underwent a first chemomobilization with CY and G-CSF, and PBSCs were collected. This first collection was cryopreserved and stored as a backup product. Three weeks later, a second chemo-mobilization was performed with etoposide and G-CSF, and PBSCs were collected and cryopreserved to be used after the planned preparative regimen. Five weeks later, the preparative regimen was given consisting of high-dose BCNU and melphalan followed by autologous PBSC rescue.
