Rahul Banerjee, MD, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, Seattle, WA, discusses whether patients with multiple myeloma that have achieved a partial response with induction therapy should remain in the induction phase or be advanced to autologous stem cell transplant (autoSCT). Dr Banerjee discusses advantages and disadvantages of each approach, and concludes that, whilst cases should be considered individually, the benefits of progressing to autoSCT outweigh the benefits of prolonging induction. This interview took place at the 20th International Myeloma Society (IMS) Annual Meeting, held in Athens, Greece.
