Transplantation of haemopoietic stem cells provides a means whereby patients with malignant disease may be treated with increased doses of chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy. Until recently, the bone marrow has been the sole source of these cells. However, haemopoietic progenitors can also be demonst

Hematopoietic stem cells circulate in the peripheral blood. These cells can be collected by apheresis techniques either in the unperturbed state, after mobilization following the administration of cytokines like G-CSF o r GM-CSF, or during the phase of early blood count recovery following chemothera
## Abstract With the advancement in apheresis technique and collection, the role of peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation has emerged. PBSC are now being utilized either alone to reconstitute hematopoiesis following highโdose myeloablative therapy, or in combination with autologous bone
The collection of peripheral blood stem cells by apheresis is a procedure used with increasing frequency in bone marrow transplant. The Spectra Apheresis System is an automated machine allowing the procedure to be tailored to every patient for optimal safety and comfort. The ability to constantly vi
Allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplant has recently been introduced for the treatment of hematological malignancies. As the data were limited mainly to adult patients, this study aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of this procedure in pediatric patients and donors. Eleven ch
