Ocho años de experiencia en una sola institucion en trasplante autólogo de células progenitoras hematopoyéticas en enfermedades hematológicas malignas y en tumores solidos. / [Eight years of experience in a single institution in hematopoietic stem cell autologous transplantation in malignant hematological diseases and in solid tumors]

ABSTRACT

Between August 1991 and December 1998, 400 patients (lymphomas 197; acute leukemia 86; multiple myeloma 70 and solid tumors 47) were admitted for autologous transplantation.
