Abstract
Auto transplants are increasingly used to treat cancer. In 1989 the National Institutes of Health of the United States began support of the Autologous Blood & Marrow Transplant Registry (ABMTR) to study outcomes of autotransplants. The ABMTR is a voluntary scientific organization of more than 130 auto transplant centers in the US, Canada, South America, Russia, Cuba and Austria. Distribution of centers and registered cases is indicated in Table 1.
