Preface<br />

The Sixth International Symposium on <strong>Autologous</strong> <strong>Bone</strong> <strong>Marrow</strong> <strong>Transplantation</strong><br />

was a great success. New avenues were discussed such as the use of<br />

immune modulation after transplantation, the use of radiolabelled antibodies<br />

incorporated into the transplantation conditioning regimens, the use of<br />

peripheral stem cells harvested after mobilization, and the use of stem cell<br />

concentrates for transplantation. It is amazing and exciting that so many new<br />

developments have surfaced in this symposium. The field is maturing since<br />

randomized studies in leukemia and lymphoma to compare high dose<br />

therapy with standard treatment have been initiated. The first results are<br />

very interesting and are very promising in favor of the concept, "more is<br />

better". The quality of this meeting certainly motivates us to organize the 7th<br />

symposium in 1994. The organizers are looking forward to the continuous<br />

new flow of information as a follow-up of what has been published in these<br />

proceedings.<br />
