Therapeutic Intensification of HIV-associated Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma by Peripheral Blood Cell Transplantation Following Chemotherapy.

Given the poor prognosis of HIV-associated non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and it's still high incidence in HAART era, more intensive therapy is required in patients with initially severe stage of NHL or relapsing after first-line chemotherapy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of an intensive chemotherapy followed by peripheral blood cell transplantation in these patients.
