Autologous bone marrow transplantation permits the use of greatly intensified cytoreductive therapy for cancer. Since 1983 seven children with disseminated neuroblastoma (stage IV) were treated by this method. Five were treated in first, and one in second complete remission; one child was in partial remission. Tumor cell purging of the marrow inoculum was performed in five cases. All children had engraftment and were discharged from hospital free of disease. Relapse was observed in three children within two years. Four children remain healthy at follow-up 5-77 months after autotransplantation. We describe and discuss indications, methods, side effects and results.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D009447 Neuroblastoma A common neoplasm of early childhood arising from neural crest cells in the sympathetic nervous system, and characterized by diverse clinical behavior, ranging from spontaneous remission to rapid metastatic progression and death. This tumor is the most common intraabdominal malignancy of childhood, but it may also arise from thorax, neck, or rarely occur in the central nervous system. Histologic features include uniform round cells with hyperchromatic nuclei arranged in nests and separated by fibrovascular septa. Neuroblastomas may be associated with the opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome.
