Predictive factors for successful stem cell mobilization in patients with indolent lymphoproliferative disorders previously treated with fludarabine

TO THE EDITOR

Patients with disseminated ‘low-grade’ or ‘indolent’ lymphoproliferative disorders such as follicular lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) remain incurable with currently available therapies, although temporary disease control can usually be obtained.
