Abstract
In leukaemia allogeneic bone marrow transplantation is a method by which high-dose, often curative therapy can be given without regard to marrow toxicity. Applying the same principle to paediatric solid tumours should allow selection of the most active agents for use in combinations, at doses limited only by extramedullary toxicity. The availability of HLA- and DR-matched allografts is very limited, however, restricting this type of marrow transplant to less than one in five children with malignancy. Other options are to use either autologous grafts or mismatched allografts, and at present, autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) is the alternative of choice. ABMT is used either to shorten the period of aplasia after non-ablative high-dose chemotherapy such as melphalan [8] or as a rescue after massive myeloablative chemotherapy, often with total-body irradiation (TBI).
