intensive treatments. These results justified a phase III EBMT study, comparing six<br />

cycles of st<strong>and</strong>ard ICE to intensive sequential high-dose chemotherapy with PBPC<br />

support. It will test a doubling in 3-year survival. This r<strong>and</strong>omized trial is now<br />

ongoing in various European centers.<br />
