Long term outcomes of autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in patients with cirrhosis

Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) mobilized with colony stimulating factor can promote liver regeneration and increase liver function in patients with liver diseases. However, the long-term effects of stem cell treatments on survival and risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with liver cirrhosis have not been determined. We investigated the long-term effects of autologous stem cell transplantation and risk of HCC in patients with liver cirrhosis.
