[Metastatic neuroblastoma: consolidation treatment with 2 courses of high-dose chemotherapy followed by a bone marrow autograft]
Abstract
Among 62 children over 1 year of age at diagnosis who were treated for stage IV neuroblastoma, 33 entered remission after conventional therapy. They received high-dose chemotherapy and in vitro purged bone marrow transplantation as consolidation therapy. Fifteen patients received one course and 18 two courses. At present, 16/33 grafted patients are alive in CR with a median follow-up of 28 months. Toxicity of this regimen was tolerable. Under this treatment, actuarial disease free survival is improved compared with that observed under conventional therapy.
