β¦ Synopsis
The current status of autologous and allogeneic marrow transplantation for acute leukemias and malignant lymphoma is reviewed and compared to the current status of conventional chemotherapy. Based on the reviewed literature, it is concluded that marrow transplantation and conventional chemoradiotherapy are not mutually exclusive and that for most young patients with acute hematological malignancies the question is not if, but rather when to intervene with a marrow transplant treatment. Thus marrow transplantation and conventional chemoradiotherapy can work as complimentary units in the complex therapeutic approach needed to cure most patients with hematological malignancies.

Ten patients age 13-52 years with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in first complete remission (CR) (1), second CR (6), or relapse (3) were treated with cyclophosphamide 50 mg/kg daily x 4 and total body irradiation 3 Gy daily x 4 followed by infusion of autologous marrow purged with 4-hydroperoxy
Between 1990 and 1997, we performed 29 allogeneic BMTs for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients with HLA-identical sibs. Their median age was 31 years (range 15 to 43); there were 15 males and 14 females. The conditioning protocol was Cy-TBI (n=15), VP16-Cy-TBI(n=12), CBV (n=1) and Bu-Cy (n=1
