It is a downhill descent Mary Horowitz, MD, has never seen. Every year, the slides she has prepared as scientific director of the International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry have shown increasing use of high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell support. The numbers just in for 1999, however, point precipitously downward.After a high of 7,800 autotransplants in North America in 1998, only 6,100 were reported (on a volunteer basis) in 1999 to the IBMTR, which is housed at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. Of the 1,700 drop in cases, all except 100 are due to reduced use of high-dose chemotherapy and autotransplants in breast cancer, which has traditionally accounted for almost half of the procedures.
