Tandem Meetings 2023 | The impact of gender on the outcomes of patients with myeloma undergoing autologous transplantation
Muzaffar Qazilbash, MD, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, comments on the findings of a study investigating the impact of gender on survival outcomes in patients with multiple myeloma undergoing autologous transplantation. Overall, the study reported that there was no significant difference in progression-free survival (PFS) between males and females. However, a subset analysis found that females younger than 50 years old appeared to have a shorter PFS when compared to age-matched males. This result could be hypothesis-generating if reproduced in other datasets. This interview took place at the 2023 Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Meetings of ASTCT™ and CIBMTR® held in Orlando, FL.
