Abstract
Introduction: Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is a well-established therapy for various hematologic and solid malignancies. Optimal mobilization and harvest of peripheral blood-stem cells (PBSC) is crucial. A failed mobilization attempt (MA) can preclude transplantation in up to 40% of cases, however, novel agents have increased success rates. The aim of our study was to evaluate factors impacting MA failure and remobilization efficacy in a resource-constrained setting. Methods: Retrospective single-center study including patients with at least one MA of PBSC for ASCT between June 2010 to June 2019.
