Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: RESULTS: The reconstruction of the hematopoietic system was noted in 19 of 20 children with stage IV neuroblastoma 16.5 + or - 0.9 days after transplantation. A follow-up (median 15.8 months) was done in these children. The follow-up showed that the survival rate in children in complete remission before transplantation was 100%, 57% in those in partial remission, and none of children in progressive disease survived (P<0.05). The total survival rate was 67% in children with neuroblastoma. The child with retinoblastoma had complete remission in a 6-months follow-up. The tumors recurred in children with PNET 5 to 8 months after transplantation and all died within one year after transplantation. CONCLUSIONS:
