OBJECTIVETo explore more effective and less toxic conditioning regimen without total body irradiation for autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) for acute leukemia (AL).METHODSTwenty patients with AL were treated with ABMT, including 13 cases of acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) and 7 cases of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). A median of 1.06 (range, 0.69-1.75)×10
8 nucleated BM cells/kg was harvested and stored in normal salt solution containing heparin at 4 degrees C. The conditioning regimen (MAC) consisted of high-dose melphalan (M, 140-160 mg/m
2), cyclophosphamide (CY, 120 mg/kg) and cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C, 2.0 g/m
2). These 3 drugs were administered within 25 hours and the unpurged autologous marrow infusion began after another 24-hour interval.
RESULTSMAC regimen could result in myeloblastic efficacy in a week. All marrow cells were reinfused within 56 hours after the harvest so that hemopoietic reconstitutions could occur in all the patients. The median time to reach a neut
