Popis: We performed a monocentric, retrospective real-world analysis (RWA) to evaluate the feasibility and the main results of an autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT)-based program in a cohort of 90 newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients aged > 65 years who were deemed eligible to such program on the basis of a simplified frailty score. Seventy-six patients received at least one ASCT and 14 patients received also the second. Median progression-free survival was 42 months and overall survival was 84 months. These results compare well with those of other RWAs, and pave the way to further improvements upon incorporation of an anti-CD38+ monoclonal antibody in the ASCT programs.
