No Survival Improvement For Central Nervous System Multiple Myeloma By The Use Of Novel Anti-Myeloma Agents: The Greek Myeloma Study Group Experience

Multiple myeloma of the central nervous system (CNSMM) is a rare and severe clinical entity. The efficacy of novel agents in this setting has not been sufficiently explored. Our aim was to describe the incidence, characteristics and outcome of CNSMM in the era of novel agents, to search for prognostic factors of post CNSMM survival and explore the efficacy of novel agent-based combinations (NAC). Data were provided by 8 Centers of the Greek Myeloma Study Group from January 2000 to December 2013.
