Delayed Transplant in the US: Your Experiences?
AI-generated title
Hi there, as a newly diagnosed myeloma patient in the Netherlands I personally prefer the option of delayed transplant instead of upfront transplant. Giving quadruplet therapy the chance to do a good job and hopefully reach Mrd negativity without transplant. My myeloma specialist in the Netherlands says this is not really an option in the Netherlands yet. He says it’s more an option in the United States. So I have some questions about this option for my fellow patients in the United States: 1) Anyone having experience with this option? 2) If so: How many cycles is the induction therapy when you choose this option in the United States? 3) What is maintenance therapy when you choose this option? 4) What are the criteria for starting the transplant when it is needed later on? 5) Do you start induction therapy again when you are on maintenance therapy and get a relapse or do you go straight to transplant when this is needed? Hope to hear and learn from your experience in the United States with the option of delayed transplant. Wishing all Of you all the best.
