Anotace

V originále

Melphalan has brought the first improvement in the therapy of multiple myeloma at the beginning of the sixties. The median of survival was prolonged from several months to 3 years. In the following 3 decades new drugs were tested, but no other drug brought better results than melphalan. The comparative studies have proved, that therapy response has been reached more rapidly after polychemotherapy than after monotherapy, but none of the treatment modalities differed in the survival parameters. The significance of interferon alpha for the treatment of multiple myeloma has been tested since the beginning of the eighties. Many clinical trials have brought controversial results. The latest metaanalysis and data published support the indication of interferon alpha for the multiple myeloma maintenance treatment. Important progress in the therapy of multiple myeloma has been done in the nineties. High doses of alkylating cytostatics with the support of autologous peripheral blood stem cells transplantation or bone marrow transplantation enhanced the number of therapy-responses and prolonged the survival. The results of autologous transplantations are so favourable, that this procedure can be recommended as the first line treatment in suitable patients. Allogenic bone marrow transplantation is linked with many complications and therefore this method will be performed only in a limited number of patients. Trials dealing with this new therapy-trends are viewed in this paper.
