Abstract
Purpose
: The purpose of this study was to evaluate factors affecting hematologic recovery and infection in high-dose chemotherapy(HDCT) and autologous stem cell transplantation(ASCT) in patients with high-risk solid tumor.
Methods
: From January 2004 to December 2005, 72 HDCTs and ASCTs were applied to children with high-risk solid tumor at Samsung Medical Center. Medical records of these 72 HDCTs and ASCTs were retrospectively analyzed.
Results
: The single most powerful predictor of neutrophil and platelet recovery was the number of transplanted CD34+ cells. The duration of high fever was significantly longer in young patients, in patients treated with total body irradiation and/or thiotepa, and in patients transplanted with lower CD34+ cell dose(<2×106/kg). However, the difference in the duration of high fever according to the number of CD34+ cells was not clinically significant.
Conclusion
: Findings in this study suggest that HDCT and ASCT with low CD34+ cell dose is clinically feasible despite delayed hematologic recovery, especially at a dose >1×106/kg per transplantation. Therefore, it is important not to defer the appropriate time for HDCT for an additional collection of hematopoietic stem cells if the number of collected CD34+ cells is >1×106/kg per transplantation.
