Authors' objectives:
This report has been produced in response to a request for information on whether stem cell transplantation is similar to bone marrow transplantation, whether stem cell transplantation is experimental and if its application should be expanded.
Authors' recommendations:
Autologous peripheral stem cell transplantation (APSCT) and autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) are technologies with a similar purpose, provision of stem cells to counter effects of bone marrow suppression. Evidence from published studies demonstrate that ABMT and APSCT are similar in terms of early post-transplant morbidity and mortality, relapse-free survival rate, time to treatment failure and overall survival.
APSCT is no longer an experimental technology, though its use in some indications has not yet been validated.
Current practice trends suggest that APSCT will be preferred to ABMT as follow-up to high-dose chemotherapy, and it is likely that there will be expansion of its application.
