Meanings of hdct in English

Among seven assessable patients, response to HDCT was observed in four patients.

It is therefore recommended that HDCT only be administered at specialized centres.

Further study is necessary to elucidate the efficacy of tandem double HDCT.

Conclusion: Prognostic variables for treatment response after HDCT can be identified.

Initially HDCT was performed with autologous bone marrow transplantation in heavily treated patients.

HDCT is also performed as first line chemotherapy for poor prognosis GCT patients.

Induction chemotherapy followed by multicycles of HDCT was tried.

Only one patient achieved complete response after HDCT.

Hematologic recovery was slow in the second HDCT.

The median time to failure and median survival after HDCT was eight and 18 months, respectively.

This retrospective single center study compared 46 consecutive MCL patients receiving HDCT in first or second remission.

Chemoirradiation was administered after HDCT only if the patient had never received radiotherapy or had residual cervical nodes.

No treatment-related mortality occurred during HDCT.

Our data suggest that HDCT with ASCT is feasible, safe and effective in MM patients older than 65 years.

In this review, the history, current status and future of HDCT for advanced or refractory GCT will be discussed.

Prior to HDCT haematopoietic stem cells are obtained after the administration of conventional-dose chemotherapy plus G- or GM-CSF stimulation.
