Abstract

Although many experts position statements on autologous stem cell mobilization have been published, there are some aspects that are still under discussion. A Spanish Hematologist expert group was summoned to settle on agreements and uncertainties on PBSCs mobilization, including factors not always considered; as apheresis and cytometry key factors that determine a successful PBSC collection. This document reviews critical factors that define poor mobilizer patients and the tools to better collect the desired stem cells for a successful autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplant.
