Autologous bone marrow transplantation for advanced neuroblastoma using teniposide, doxorubicin, melphalan, cisplatin, and total-body irradiation.

Abstract

Modified VAMP-TBI appears to be an effective conditioning regimen, with 15 of 17 patients remaining disease-free, with no toxic deaths. This result compares favorably with that of other groups. Larger numbers of patients need to be treated to confirm the efficacy of this therapy.
