Abstract
e18003 Background: The CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone) regimen is an efficient treatment of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). This study was aimed to assess the efficacy and toxicity of high-dose (HD) CHOP ± rituximab on autologous peripheral blood stem cell (APBSC) mobilization for the patients with NHL. In the meantime, factors affecting the collection of CD34+ cells were explored. Methods: 39 patients eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) were included in this retrospective study, 14 patients received HD CHOP combined with rituximab for APBSC mobilization and the others received HD CHOP regimen alone. Results: For all, the median number of CD34+ cell yield was 7.01×106/kg with 37 patients achieving to meet the target CD34+ cell harvest of ≥2.0×106/kg and 27 patients (69.2%) achieved the optimal collection≥5.0×106/kg. 26 of the patients underwent only one apheresis procedure with median CD34+ cell collection of 6.93×106/kg. The mobilization yield of CHO...
