Abstract

Contemporary, prospective data regarding the impact of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) on outcomes after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Auto-HSCT) in an era when stem cell grafts are more qualitatively robust are limited. Recent retrospective analyses have not supported a beneficial effect of post-transplantation G-CSF use on major outcomes after Auto-HSCT leading to strategies to delay or eliminate the use of G-CSF altogether in this context. To test the hypothesis that the infusion of consistently higher doses of stem cells (defined as ≥4 × 10
