Abstract

Allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) has been increasingly used as an alternative to allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Allo-PBSCT can provide rapid engraftment of neutrophils and platelets. Although the recipients of allogeneic PBSCT are infused 10-fold T cells compared with BMT, there is no evidence for a significant difference between PBSCT and BMT with regard to incidence and severity of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). On the other hand, several reports have indicated a high risk for developing chronic GVHD after allogeneic PBSCT as opposed to BMT.
