Impact of the conditioning regimen dose intensity before autologous stem cell transplantation on the pulmonary function test abnormalities in patients with lymphoma and multiple myeloma. Single center experience

ConclusionsAutologous SCT impact on lung function depends on the disease and conditioning regimen. It leads to a drop in lung volumes but no obstruction or decrease in diffusion in lymphoma patients receiving BEAM. Autologous SCT did not affect lung functions in MM patients and these patients may not need screening PFTs.
