An Analysis of the Charges Associated With Peripheral Blood Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell (HPC) Mobilization, Collection and Cryopreservation In Patients With Lymphomas Undergoing Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation
Year: 2009
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Introduction: HPC may be mobilized with cytokines alone or with chemotherapy followed by cytokines. The HPC yield is higher and the failure rate is lower with chemo mobilization. Although a cell dose of 2m CD34+ cells/kg is considered adequate, some authors have shown patients (pts) who receive <5m CD 34+ cells /kg have higher resource utilization post transplant. This study was to analyze the costs associated with HPC chemo mobilization.
