Figure 1 Treatment schema PBSC=peripheral blood stem cells. AHSCT=autologous haemopoietic stem-cell transplantation. CEM=carboplatin, etoposide, and melphalan. GFR=glomerular filtration rate. AUC=area under the curve. G-CSF=granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. ANC=absolute neutrophil count. MIBG=123I or 131I- meta-iodobenzylguanidine.

Figure 2 Trial profile *372 patients (192 non-purged, 180 purged) received a transplant, including those who received the PBSC product to which they were allocated (randomised) and those who were crossovers. † One additional patient who received a transplant was retrospectively (post-transplant) determined by the treating institution to have had progressive disease at the end of induction; thus table 1 presents a total of 38 patients in the purged group with end of induction progressive disease. ‡Patients alive at last contact were censored in survival analysis.
