Long-term lymphoma survivors following high-dose chemotherapy and autograft: Evidence of permanent telomere shortening in myeloid cells, associated with marked reduction of bone marrow hematopoietic stem cell reservoir

Objective To investigate telomere length (TL) and hematopoietic progenitors in long-term survivors after high-dose chemotherapy and peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) autograft. Methods Peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) samples were obtained from 31 subjects in continuous complete remission...
