Complete remission in severe aplastic anemia after high-dose cyclophosphamide without bone marrow transplantation.

abstract：:The combination of cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone (CVP) is one of several standard treatment options for advanced follicular lymphoma. This, like similar chemotherapeutic regimens, induces response rates of 60% to 80%, with a median response duration of under 2 years. Rituximab, a chimeric monoclonal an...
