Autologous HSCTType of Secondary MalignancyRisk Factor
Abbreviations: HSCT, hemopoietic stem cell transplantation; PTLD, posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder; ATG, antithymocyte globulin; GVHD, graft-versus-host disease. 
*In particular, mechlorethamine and chlorambucil have been implicated (C. Metayer et al., unpublished). 
Available data suggest a higher incidence with the use of peripheral blood stem cells, particularly after mobilization with topoisomerase inhibitors. 
 Solid tumors Irradiation 
  Virus 
 Hematologic disorders Intensity/duration of
 pretransplant therapy 
  Alkylator exposure* 
  Conditioning regimen

  Older patient age
