Our study is retrospective. We report the results of conventional chemotherapy ins previosly untreated patients with myeloma. Survival and prognostic factors were analysed in 109 patients diagnosed from 1983 to 1992. The median age was 65 years, 87 patients (80%) were including in the stage III according the Durie Salmon staging system. The median survival time was 27 months and 10 years survival rate is 3.66%. In the univariate analysis, two prognostic variables were retained namely the hemoglobin and creatinine level. The study suggest that conventional therapy is a good treatment for old patients. However, patients younger than 55 years, must benefit from intensive chemotherapy supported by autologous bone marrow, pheripheral blood stem cells, or allogenic bone marrow transplantation. A considerable encrace in duration of remission and survival is possible. |
