DSMM XIII: Asked Questions
Is there a benefit of age-adjusted high-dose
melphalan (140 mg/m²) with autologous blood stem
cell transplantation during first-line therapy with novel
agents (lenalidomide) in elderly myeloma patients
(60-75 years) ?
Comparison of first-line vs. second-line age-adjusted
high-dose melphalan with autologous transplantation
