However, majority of patients eventually relapse, with a median PFS of around 36 months. Relapses are harder to treat and prognosis declines wit...
متن کاملComplete response after autologous stem cell transplant in multiple myeloma

High-dose treatment (HDT) with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has been shown to increase survival and time to progression in multiple myeloma (IMM) compared with conventional chemotherapy. In the French IFM90-study [1], 200 patients were randomised to receive prolonged standard treatment with i.v. combination chemotherapy, or a short phase by induction treatment with the same regim...
