A 59-year-old man is diagnosed with multiple myeloma. It is recommended that he receive induction therapy followed by high-dose melphalan with autologous hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation. Such transplantation improves the remission rate in myeloma by allowing for the administration of a chemotherapy dose that would otherwise be lethal. This approach is considered appropriate only for relatively young patients without major coexisting illnesses.
