Therapeutic thrombocytapheresis in myeloproliferative neoplasms: A single-institution experience.

Thrombocytosis is usually seen in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) and associated with thrombohemorrhagic complications. Therapeutic thrombocytapheresis using an automatic cell separator can help to achieve prompt platelet count reduction to decrease the rate of thrombotic events. In this study, we report a single center's experience in managing MPN patients with thrombocytapheresis prior to chemotherapy.

Pre-chemotherapy white blood cell depletion by therapeutic leukocytapheresis in leukemia patients: A single-institution experience.

Background: Hyperleukocytosis is commonly seen in acute and chronic leukemias. Therapeutic leukocytapheresis using an automatic cell separator can help to achieve prompt leukoreduction to reduce the rate of thrombotic events and early mortality as well as to prevent tumor lysis syndrome.

Aim: In this study, we report a single center's experience in managing leukemia patients with therapeutic leukocytapheresis prior to chemotherapy.
