- * In a study of 50 patients with severe renal impairment, only one death occurred within the first 100 days post-transplant, with most patients showing significant improvements in hematological responses.
- * Overall, after two years, 84% of patients were alive, 70% were free from disease progression, and 59% saw an improvement in kidney function, indicating that the procedure is both safe and effective for this population.
Introduction: The storage of harvested stem cells, in standard refrigerators at +4°C, is a simple and inexpensive alternative to cryopreservation for most patients living in countries with limited resources. We present the 10 years' experience of our single center from Oran in Algeria using non-cryopreserved stem cells after conditioning with high dose chemotherapy, in a large group of myeloma and lymphoma patients.
Methods: From May 2009 to December 2019, autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) was carried out in our center, of which 420 with multiple myeloma (MM) and 154 patients with lymphoma.
