Abstract

Forty-two patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's disease (HD) were treated with high-dose chemotherapy (BEAM regimen) followed by autologous bone marrow and/or peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) rescue. There was one procedure-related death and the overall response rate at 6 months was 88% (95% confidence interval 78-98%). The 2 year overall and event-free survival was 81% (95% confidence interval 65-96%) and 74% (95% confidence interval 58-89%) respectively. Median follow-up was 33 months. The use of PBPC instead of marrow resulted in a significant shortening of the time to engraftment (P
