Authors' objectives:
To assess the relative effectiveness of high-dose myeloablative therapy and progenitor cell transplantation (HDT/PCT) compared with conventional therapy for the treatment of malignancy.
To assess the relative cost of HDT/PCT versus conventional chemotherapy (CC).
To assess the efficacy and cost of bone marrow transplantation (BMT) versus peripheral blood progenitor cells transplantation (PBPCT).
Authors' recommendations:
As a whole the review has found no conclusive evidence that HDT/PCT is superior to conventional treatment in terms of survival or PFS. Conversely, it has not demonstrated that it is inferior. Given the overall pattern of results, HDT/PCT appears to be a therapy worthy of further exploration.
As few prospective economic analyses were identified it is not possible accurately to determine the comparative cost of HDT/PCT and CC.
