Survival of elderly patients with multiple myeloma-Effect of upfront autologous stem cell transplantation

2016

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to determine the value of upfront autologous transplantation (ASCT) in elderly patients (60–79 years) with myeloma. Methods We analysed relative survival (RS) of patients diagnosed in 1998–2011 and treated with ASCT within 12 months after diagnosis in Germany (n = 3591; German Registry of Stem Cell Transplantation) and compare RS with survival of myeloma patients diagnosed in the same years in Germany (n = 13,903; population-based German Cancer Registries). Results Utilisation of ASCT has increased rapidly between 2000–2002 and 2009–2011 (60–64years: 7.0–43.0%; 65–69 years: 6.6–23.7%; 70–79 years: 0.4–4.0%). Comparison of 5-year RS of patients f…

Population-level survival has increased for a number of hematologic malignancies.[1][1]–[3][2] Multiple myeloma, in particular, has seen improved survival both in clinical trials[4][3]–[8][4] and on the population level.[3][2],[9][5]–[11][6] However, it is not known whether the changes in
