In patient with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM), randomized studies have shown that autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) is superior to conventional chemotherapy, and ASCT is now standard care, at least for younger patients. The best conditioning regimen is melphalan 200 mg/m(2), and the best stem-cell source is unselected peripheral progenitor cells. Recent results of the IFM94 trial show that double ASCT is superior to single ASCT at least in patients who do not achieve a 90% response after one transplant. By combining biologic markers (beta(2)-microglobulin, albumin) and genetic markers (hypodiploidy, chromosome 13 deletion) it is possible to accurately predict prognosis after ASCT The results of allogeneic SCT remain disappointing due to a high transplant mortality. Strategies combining ASCT and reduced-intensity allogeneic SCT are currently being studied.
