โฆ Synopsis
Autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) following intensive therapy regimes is being used increasingly in relapsed lymphomas.

We describe here our experience of ABMT in both Hodgkin's disease and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and review the situations in which we believe future randomised studies should be based.
