The MM Hub were delighted to attend the 44th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation held in Lisbon, Portugal, from 18–21 March 2018. On Monday 19 March 2018 the oral abstract session 4 was held. The session was moderated by Catarina Geraldes, from the Department of Clinical Hematology, University of Coimbra, Portugal and Tamás Masszi, the Department of Internal Medicine, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary. The first talk in this session was presented by Nico Gagelmann, from the Department of Stem Cell Transplantation, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Germany, on the topic of Impact of cytogenetics on outcome after stem-cell transplantation in multiple myeloma with extramedullary disease: an analysis of the CMWP-WBMT.
This analysis supports the beneficial use of tandem-autologous transplantation, to improve the OS and prognosis of NDMM patients with high-risk cytogenetics. The study also highlights the potential influence that EMD-specific factors (such as light chain, the number of involved sites, and paraskeletal involvement) can have on a patient’s prognosis.
