Iodine-131-metaiodobenzylguanidine therapy with reduced-intensity allogeneic stem cell transplantation in recurrent neuroblastoma

Hiroka Takahashi et al. Pediatr Blood Cancer. 2008 Mar.

Abstract

Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor of childhood, and iodine-131-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) therapy is a new approach for grade IV neuroblastoma. We describe the case history of a 3-year-old girl with recurrent neuroblastoma who received MIBG therapy with reduced-intensity allogeneic stem cell transplantation (RIST) because of an extensive bone marrow involvement. The post-transplant course was uneventful and complete chimerism was obtained. Neither acute nor chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was observed. The patient remained in remission for 3 months after RIST until the second relapse. MIBG therapy combined with RIST warrants further trials.
