Figure 1. Progression-free survival after autoSCT in 100 Hodgkin's disease patients.<br />

overall NRM is 19% (95% CI 12-30%) (Fig. 3). The specific causes of NRM are<br />

listed in Table 3. Eight early deaths (100 days) in nine patients.<br />

One patient succumbed to bacterial pneumonia 8 months after autoSCT, <strong>and</strong> another<br />

died in an automobile accident 52 months after autoSCT. Four died of progressive<br />

pulmonary fibrosis 4.5,6,24, <strong>and</strong> 24 months after autoSCT. Secondary malignancies<br />

occurred in five patients, at a median of 120 months (range 84—177) after diagnosis<br />

<strong>and</strong> 49 months (range 34—70) after autoSCT; the cumulative incidence of secondary<br />

malignancies was 9%. 5<br />

Tumor types included glioblastoma multiforme in one patient<br />
