Consolidation therapy

  • Short period of intensive treatment with a single agent or combination of agents
  • Often evaluated in clinical trials
  • May improve the depth of response and outcomes

Maintenance therapy

  • Long term use of low-dose therapy
  • Eliminates residual malignant cells after ASCT and delay progression of disease
  • Shown to improve progression-free survival and overall survival
