Number of Cycles with Alkylating Agents<br />

Figure 2. Correlation of the number of tumor cells in LP 1 with the number of pretreat<br />

ment cycles with alkylating agents. Linear regression analysis was used to examine the i<br />

ence of the pretreatment cycles on tumor cell load in LP 1 using Box-Cox power transfor<br />

data for tumor cell load. The graphical display also includes the 95% confidence interva<br />

effects of alkylating agents on the stem cell yield described by other authors. The<br />

use of these drugs should be balanced against the adverse effects on the stem cell<br />

yield.<br />
