The mobilization of stem cells using the standard approach, chemotherapy and G-CSF, may not be successful in all cases heavily pretreated. Plerixafor (AMD3100) has emerged as a viable option in attempts to mobilize stem cells among these patients.

We report on the use of plerixafor in eight pediatric cases either as add-on to chemotherapy plus G-CSF or in remobilization.
