Abstract

Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is an effective treatment option for various lymphoid malignancies. ASCT allows delivery of high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) without concerns for hematologic toxicities, and in certain settings is superior to conventional chemotherapy alone. Although recurrent disease is the most common cause of mortality in ASCT recipients, early and late side effects account for 31% of deaths. Toxicities from ASCT depend on the disease, HDC regimen, previous therapies, age, performance status, and comorbidities. In this chapter we discuss early and late toxic effects of ASCT and their management.
