Prognostic Significance of Tracking Dynamic Changes in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan Pre and Post Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT)
CONCLUSIONS:Negative PET-CT imaging post ASCT is associated with better OS and PFS. Also, in our population, the absence of positive FL by PET-CT scan in newly diagnosed MM patients pre and post ASCT shows a trend towards better PFS and OS. Clearance of FL by PET scan trends towards improved PFS and OS. Longer follow up is needed to declare statistical significance between those cohorts.Figure.DisclosuresAtrash: Takeda Oncology: Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees, Speakers Bureau; Celgene: Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees, Speakers Bureau; Amgen: Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees.
