Activity and outcomes of autologous stem cell transplantation in the private sector in Australia.

Background: Few Australasian autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) programmes perform ASCT in the private sector. Relatively little is known about ASCT outcomes in the private sector, which varies in care delivery models to the public system.

Aims: To investigate transplantation activity and survival outcomes at Icon Cancer Centre's Brisbane-based private clinical and laboratory ASCT programme over a 23-year period.
