54 Pheochromocytoma Stem cells: Patients must have a hematopoietic stem cell product available for reinfusion after 131I-MIBG treatment at doses of 12 mci/kg. The minimum quantity for purged or unpurged peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) is 1.5 x 106 viable CD34+ cells/kg (recommended 2 x 106 viable CD34+ cells/kg). The minimum number may be met by combining different types of stem cell products as listed below (ie: purged + unpurged PBSC). The minimum dose for bone marrow is 1.0 x 108 mononuclear cells/kg (optimum > 2.0 x 108 mononuclear cells/kg).
