Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT; n = 14) was performed with PBSC previously harvested in 12 cases, or with post-Bv+Bs PBSC successfully collected (by G-CSF and cyclophosphamide) in 2 cases. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-SCT; n = 4): haploidentical in 3 cases, and sibling in 1 case. Two patients received 2 additional courses of Bv+Bs (for a total of 6).
