Neurologic Improvement After Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation in POEMS Syndrome
Neurol 71:1691-1695, Kuwabara,S.,et al, 2008
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation results in obvious neurologic improvement within 6 months, presumably by extensive axonal regeneration and remyelination. This therapy could be considered as a first line treatment for patients with polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M-protein, and skin changes syndrome with younger onset even if they are tetraplegic.
