Popis: In 1992 peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) were widely used for autologous transplantation in a variety of malignancies, either alone or with autologous bone marrow transplantation. They have also been used in allogeneic transplantation. PBSCs may serve as an alternative, in some patients, to marrow hematopoietic stem cells (simple harvesting, less pain and discomfort, no general anesthesia, shorter time required for hematologic recovery after transplantation, accelerated restoration of immune function, …) In this article, we present a survey of peripheral blood stem cell collection approaching it from a very practical point of view (equipment, vascular access, stem cell collection) and we also show how to optimize PBSC collection procedures. Lastly, we envisage future developments.
