Autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC)-supported high-dose melphalan is now considered standard therapy for myeloma, at least for younger patients. The markedly reduced toxicity of allotransplants utilizing non-myeloablative regimens (mini-allotransplants) may hold promise for more widely exploiting the well-documented graft-versus-myeloma (GVM) effect. New active drugs include immunomodulatory agents, such as thalidomide and Revimid®, and the proteasome inhibitor, PS 341 (Velcade®), all of which not only target myeloma cells directly but also exert an indirect effect by suppressing growth and survival signals elaborated by the bone marrow microenvironment interaction with myeloma cells. Among the prognostic factors evaluated, cytogenetic abnormalities (CA), present in one-third of newly diagnosed patients, identify a particularly poor prognosis subgroup with a median survival not exceeding 2 to 3 years; by contrast, in the absence of CA, 4-year survival rates of 80% - 90% can be obtained with tandem autotransplants. Fundamental and clinical research should therefore focus on the molecular and biological mechanisms of treatment failure in the high risk subgroup.
