Abstract
The administration of high-dose (HD) etoposide (ETP) with higher doses of r ecombinant human (rh) granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is usef ul for peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) mobilization.(1-3) We report the e fficacy of HD-RP with low-dose rhG-CSF for PBSC mobilization in patients wi th non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).
