Multiple Myeloma Outpatient Transplant Program in the Era of Novel Agents: State-of-the-Art

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the most common indication for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), and outpatient models have been widely developed in this setting. Although numerous studies have demonstrated the safety and feasibility of outpatient ASCT, it is not a routine procedure. Stringent g...
