Double-intensive therapy in high-risk multiple myeloma.
A high remission rate is achieved with high-dose melphalan (HDM) in multiple myeloma (MM), and autologous transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells allows a prompt hematologic recovery after high-dose therapy. We treated 97 patients with high-risk MM (group 1:44 advanced MM including 14 primary resistances and 30 relapses; group 2: 53 newly diagnosed MM) with a first course of HDM. For respon...
متن کاملHigh-dose therapy for refractory multiple myeloma: improved prognosis with better supportive care and double transplants.
One hundred and thirty-five patients with advanced and refractory myeloma received one of three high-dose therapy regimens: melphalan at doses of 90 to 100 mg/m2 (MEL 100; 47 patients) without autotransplant; total body irradiation (TBI; 850 cGy) with either melphalan 140 mg/m2 or thiotepa 750 mg/m2 and autologous bone marrow transplant (ABMT) (< or = 30% plasma cells; 21 patients); melphalan 2...

متن کاملTargeted therapy in multiple myeloma.
BACKGROUND Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable malignancy. Recent insights into its biology has allowed the use of novel therapies targeting not only the deregulated intracellular signaling in MM cells but also its interaction with the bone marrow microenvironment that confers drug resistance, growth, and survival advantage to the malignant cells. METHODS We review and summarize the recent ...
متن کاملImmune therapy in multiple myeloma.
Although the advent of biologic therapies has resulted in improved outcomes for patients with multiple myeloma (MM), patients ultimately develop progressively resistant disease. As such, novel approaches are needed. There has been a renewed focus on the development of therapies that would allow redirection of patients' own immune systems to target malignant myeloma cells. Compared with healthy ...
