Abstract

Lymphomas are the third most common cancer of childhood in Brazil. Over the past few decades, the prognosis has significantly improved, however relapsed or refractory disease is still associated with an inferior outcome. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the standard salvage treatment strategy for these patients. A review was made using the most relevant articles and discussion between the authors was done for guide the recomendations exposed here.
