Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation Among Lymphoproliferative Disease Patients: Factors Influencing Engraftment

Autologous peripheral blood stem cells transplantation (APBSCT) is a therapeutic option which can be used in various hematological, neoplastic disorders including lymphoproliferative disease (LPD). Differences in patient populations and treatment modalities in different transplant centers mean it is important to improve the knowledge of the different factors affecting engraftment after APBSCT for the success of this procedure. We sought to determine the factors influencing neutrophil and platelet engraftment after APBSCT in patients with LPD
