High incidence of chronic graft versus host disease after allogeneic peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantation. The Spanish Group of Allo-PBPCT.

Abstract

It would appear from this retrospective and multicenter study that, after a median follow-up of 12 months, cGVHD after allo-PBPCT could be more frequent than after allo-BMT. A randomized trial with a large number of patients and a sufficient follow-up will be necessary to answer this question definitively.
