Treatment of transplant-eligible patients with multiple myeloma in 2014. Review uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Induction regimens containing a proteasome inhibitor and/or immunomodulatory agent with dexamethasone result in rapid disease control before autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). ASCT followed by consolidation and/or maintenance further improves depth of response following effective induction. Overall survival of transplant-eligible patients has been extended with modern therapeutic strategies. The optimal timing of ASCT and methods to prevent relapse following ASCT are under active investigation. Different patient populations may benefit differentially from currently available treatments.
