Laparoscopy seems to be playing an emerging role in the management of lymphoproliferative diseases. The aim of this study was to prospectively analyze personal experience evaluating the role and limits of laparoscopy in the management of lymphomas. From July 1993 to December 2000, 131 consecutive
BACKGROUND
The presence of T and B cells in allogeneic grafts contributes to GvHD and to EBV-associated lymphoproliferative disease (LPD). Depletion of T and B cells from the graft decreases the risk of these complications.
METHODS
T and B cells were depleted from mobilized peripheral stem cells
Although cyclosporine (CsA)-based immunosuppressive regimens have been highly successful in renal transplantation in infants and children, their adverse influence on somatic growth, general appearance, and blood pressure are of particular importance in this population. Over the past 4 years, we have
