We retrospectively reviewed the results of cyclophosphamide (3 g/m(2) ), doxorubicin and dexamethasone plus granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) (ID-CY/DOX group), low-dose cyclophosphamide (2 g/m(2) ) plus G-CSF (LD-CY group) and G-CSF alone (G-CSF group) for stem cell mobilization in patients with multiple myeloma. A total of 89 patients with 93 mobilizations were included. Apheresis was started when total white blood cell (WBC) count >10 × 10(9) /L for ID-CY/DOX and LD-CY groups and after eight doses of G-CSF (5 μg/kg twice daily) for G-CSF group. ⋯ J. Clin.
