Hematol Oncol Clin North Am. 2008 Oct;22(5):1051-79, xi. doi: 10.1016/j.hoc.2008.07.007.

Abstract

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) includes a diverse set of conditions ranging from high-grade aggressive to more indolent low-grade disease. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has a valuable role in the management of these conditions and can provide long-term remission in selected cases. This article presents the current use of allogeneic and autologous HSCT in a number of subtypes of NHL.
