True about adult autologous stem cell transplant are all except:
Used in the treatment of leukemia
Stem cells are collected directly from the bone marrow
G-CSF is given to expand the number of stem cells
It allows high dose of chemotherapy
Autologous transplantation involves the removal and storage of the patient's own stem cells with subsequent reinfusion after the patient receives high-dose myeloablative therapy. Unlike allogeneic transplantation, there is no risk of GVHD or graft rejection with autologous transplantation. Donors are typically treated with 4 or 5 days of hematopoietic growth factor, following which stem cells are collected in 4-hour pheresis sessions.
