OriginalComparación de dos estrategias iniciales de movilización de progenitores hematopoyéticos de sangre periférica para trasplante autogénico en pacientes con linfomas e infección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humanaComparison of two initial mobilizing strategies of peripheral blood stem cells for autologous transplantation in patients with lymphoma and human immunodeficiency virus infection

Background and objective Several studies have demonstrated the feasibility of autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in patients with lymphoma and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. HIV infection has been described as a risk factor for poor mobilization. The aim of this study was to compare the results of two mobilization strategies of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) in patients with lymphoma and HIV infection in seven Spanish hospitals.
