Treatment Goals Young Patients (<65 years) Best OS outcome with possibility of cure MRD negative and maintained Is this needed for all patients? Old Patients (>70 years) Maximize OS with good quality of life [Caveat: Cost to achieve these aims]
Treatment of Transplant Eligible NDMM
Phases of Treatment Induction Stem cell Transplant Consolidation Maintenance
Phases of Treatment Induction Stem cell Transplant Consolidation Maintenance Objective Rapid and Deep Response Able to harvest Minimal toxicity
Significant improvement in post-induction CR/nCR and VGPR rates induction regimens
Response and Survival Pavia et al. Blood 2015 10
Phases of Treatment Induction Stem cell Transplant Consolidation Maintenance Objective Increase CR rates
Is ASCT still needed in Era of Novel Agents
Significant improvement in post-induction and posttransplant CR/nCR and VGPR rates with bortezomibbased induction regimens
Phases of Treatment Induction Stem cell Transplant Consolidation Maintenance Objective Increase MRD negative rates
