  • The intermediate clinical form called Hand-Schüller-Christian disease is characterized by multifocal, chronic involvement and classically presents as the triad of diabetes insipidus, proptosis, and lytic bone lesions. (medscape.com)
  • G-CSF is a commonly used mobilizing agent for practically all autologous and a majority of allogeneic HSCTs and is known to increase CD34+ concentration. (bdbiosciences.com)
  • This phase I trial assessed the safety, efficacy, and immunologic responses to minor histocompatibility antigens following nonmyeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation as treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma. (aacrjournals.org)
