Amifostine feasibility and efficacy in autologous stem cell transplantation for multiple myeloma.

چکیده
We prospectively compared 2 groups of multiple myeloma patients who had undergone autologous stem cell transplantation. The first group (group 1, n=30) received amifostine (740 mg/mq) whereas the second group (group 2, n=36) did not receive this treatment, before melphalan infusion, as cytoprotectant for mucosal damage. Our results demonstrated that amifostine did not reduce the incidence or grading of mucositis, but it influenced the use of total parenteral nutrition and of opioid analgesic therapy.

Background and purpose: Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may be one of the best treatment options for some patients with hematological malignancies. The process of stem cell homing in the bone marrow and the production and proliferation of denovo cell populations is called engraftment and could be considered as one of the key factors in the success of stem cell transplantation...
متن کاملPlerixafor in the Treatment of Stem Cell Mobilization Failure; First Experience in Iran
High-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT) have become an effective care for many patients with hematological malignancies. Harvesting the stem cells is one the most important parts of SCT. The two most commonly used mobilization regimens are the use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) or G-CSF plus chemotherapy. However, about 10-30% of patients are unab...
