ISA 2024 | Considerations for the timing of transplantation in AL amyloidosis
Maximilian Steinhardt, MD, University Hospital Würzburg, Würzburg, Germany, discusses important factors to consider when selecting and timing patients with light chain (AL) amyloidosis for stem cell transplantation (SCT). Once a patient is eligible for SCT and agrees to it, this is usually done as quickly as possible on the basis that a deep remission is needed. Further research is required to establish whether late transplantation loses efficacy and plays a role in relapse. This interview took place at the XIX International Symposium on Amyloidosis (ISA) in Rochester, MN.
