A Deeper Depth of Response After Salvage Therapy Improves Outcomes of Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in Relapsed Lymphoma and the Feasibility of Non-controlled Rate Freezing of Peripheral Blood Stem Cells.

Background High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation is considered a standard treatment approach for patients with relapsed Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The goal of autologous stem cell transplant in relapsed lymphoma is to achieve long-term disease control, i.e.

FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED RED BLOOD CELLS TRANSFUSION REQUIREMENTS IN PATIENTS WITH HODGKIN AND NON-HODGKIN LYMPHOMA.

Background: Anaemia is a common feature of lympho-proliferative disorders and is an important cause of poor quality of life in these patients. When indicated, packed red blood cells (PRBC) units are transfused to treat anaemia. Objective of this study was to identify risk factors associated with PRBC transfusions in lymphoma patients.
