Abstract
Fludarabine has been recently reported as ineffective in mobilizing periphe ral blood stem cells (PBSC) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. We re port: herein on 27 AML patients, 9 of them being eligible for peripheral bl ood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). Eight of the 9 successfully mobilize d after two courses of a fludarabine-containing regimen and the administrat ion of CTX at a dose of 4 g/m(2).
