Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation and Autolougous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation into Patients with Primary Brain Tumors (Application of Autologous BMT to Cancer Treatment)

Primary intracranial germ cell tumors, malignant lymphomas, and medulloblastomas have been proved to be very sensitive to chemotherapy （cisplatin-or carboplatin-containing regimens）. Recently we tried the high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous bone marrow transplantation and autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for two patients with relapsed primary brain tumors. It was consequently suggested that the high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous blood stem cell transplantation was very useful and safe
