Abstract

Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) plays a significant role in the treatment of multiple myeloma. Although the result of STaMINA trial showed no extra survival benefit of second transplantation or consolidation therapy in addition to single ASCT, there is still an argument about the optimal treatment intensity.

Therefore, we investigated the impact of the single and tandem ASCT on the QALY and the cost.
