Allogeneic blood cell transplantation without posttransplant colony-stimulating factors in patients with hematopoietic neoplasm: a phase II study.

Abstract

Transplantation of a high number of stem cells may lead to rapid engraftment without the use of posttransplant colony-stimulating factors. GVHD does not appear to be more severe than in similarly treated patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation. For allogeneic transplantation, mobilized blood cell collections are an alternative to bone marrow collections.
