Transplant Considerations

Results of a recent study suggest that delaying autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) after immunomodulatory therapy is effective and leads to comparable survival rates as with early transplantation in patients with multiple myeloma (Kumar SK, et al. Cancer. 2012;118:1585-1592). The study results indicate that survival outcomes are not compromised when ASCT is delayed if stem cells are harvested early; however, the study was not randomized and was conducted before the bortezomib era.
