Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has long been considered frontline therapy for newly diagnosed myeloma patients. This Spotlight examines the role of ASCT in the era of novel drugs and argues that ASCT should continue to be considered for eligible patients. A combination of novel drugs with ASCT in a sequential treatment approach can attain long-term survival and perhaps cure a subset of patients. ASCT will likely remain an important platform to develop curative strategies in the foreseeable future.
自体干细胞移植(ASCT)长期以来一直被视为新诊断骨髓瘤患者的一线治疗方法。本专题探讨了ASCT在新药时代的作用,并认为对于符合条件的患者仍应继续考虑采用ASCT。将新药与ASCT按序贯治疗方法联合使用可实现长期生存,甚至可能治愈一部分患者。在可预见的未来,ASCT可能仍将是制定治愈策略的重要平台。
