High-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation, treatment for breast cancer
Record ID 32006000992
English
Authors' objectives:
High-dose chemotherapy (HDC) involves administration of at least one anticancer drug in a dose that is planned to be sufficiently strong to completely eradicate residual cancer cells in an attempt to reduce the risk of relapse. However, this approach destroys most marrow cells, suppressing the hematopoietic system. Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) involves harvesting stem cells from the bone marrow or peripheral blood of the patient during disease remission or best treatment response and reinfusing these cells in order to aid hematopoietic recovery.
