Obstructive and restrictive pulmonary dysfunction in long-term lymphoma survivors after high-dose therapy with autologous stem cell transplantation.

CONCLUSIONS: Despite intensive cancer treatment, our analysis showed modest reductions in obstructive parameters among long-term LSs after HDT-ASCT compared to normative reference data. To limit obstructive impairments in LSs after HDT-ASCT, we suggest that targeted smoking-cessation advice is directed towards patients who have received high cumulative doses of doxorubicin.
