    Abstract Germ cell tumor (GCT) is the most frequent cancer in young men and is highly curable. Almost 80 % of patients with the disease in an advanced stage achieve a reliable response to cisplatin combination chemotherapy. For relapsing or refractory disease, autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an effective therapy. The two most used mobilization strategies for HSC collection are filgrastim alone or filgrastim after chemotherapy (chemomobilization). HSC collection with filgrastim mobilization can be difficult, especially in highly treated patients. While the addition of chemotherapy improves mobilization and reduces the number of apheresis sessions, it can increase morbidity rate as well. We describe a case of a 45-year-old male with classical seminoma who was submitted to orchiectomy. Two months after, he presented progression of the tumor. He received four cycles of cisplatin, etoposide and bleomycin, with residual retroperitoneal mass and cervical lymphadenopathy. Further, he was submitted to three more cycles of cisplatin, ifosfamide and paclitaxel. Thereupon, he showed partial response. At that moment, autologous HSC transplantation was considered. In the first mobilization, filgrastim alone was used without success in harvesting. The second mobilization consisted of vinorelbine at day 1 (35 mg/m

    Abstract The aim of the study was to investigate the association between oxidative stress and DNA damage with grafting time in patients submitted to autologous hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). The study included 37 patients submitted to autologous HSCT diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma (MM) and lymphoma (Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's). Biomarkers of oxidative stress and DNA damage index (DI) were performed at baseline (pre-CR) of the disease and during the conditioning regimen (CR), one day after the HSCT, ten days after HSCT and twenty days after HSCT, as well as in the control group consisting of 30 healthy individuals. The outcomes showed that both groups of patients had an hyperoxidative state with high DI when compared to baseline and to the control group and that the CR exacerbated this condition. However, after the follow-up period of the study, this picture was re-established to the baseline levels of each pathology. The study patients with MM showed a mean grafting time of 10.75 days (8 to 13 days), with 10.15 days (8 to 15 days) for the lymphoma patients. In patients with MM, there was a negative correlation between the grafting time and the basal levels of GPx (r = -0.54; p = 0.034), indicating that lower levels of this important enzyme are associated with a longer grafting time. For the DI, the correlation was a positive one (r = 0.529; p = 0.030). In the group with lymphoma, it was observed that the basal levels of NOx were positively correlated with grafting time (r = 0.4664, p = 0.032). The data indicate the potential of these biomarkers as predictors of toxicity and grafting time in patients with MM and Lymphomas submitted to autologous HSCT.
