More than 15 years passed since bone marrow transplantation (BMT) have first introduced to the field of treatment of pediatric cancer. During this period, technology and modality of BMT have been improved steadily and several kinds of hemopoietic stem cell transplantation, for instance, allogeneic BMT from related or unrelated donor, unpurged or purged autologous BMT by 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide (4-HC) or magnetic immuno-beads, allogeneic or autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation and cord blood stem cell transplantation became available. Now we can choose the most suitable transplantation method for each patient from our repertory according to the patient's condition. In this article, treatment result of allogeneic BMT and 4-HC purged autologous BMT for children with acute leukemia and several kinds of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for children with solid tumors in my hospital were reported.
