[Busulfan Combined with Cyclophosphamide as the Conditioning Regimen in Patients with Multiple Myeloma Treated by Autolo-gous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation].

Objective: To retrospectively analyze the safety and efficacy of busulfan (BU) combined with cyclophosphamide (CY) as the conditioning regimen of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM).

Methods: The safety and efficacy of the BUCY regimen were evaluated through observing the adverse reactions, recovery of hematopoietic reconstitution, response and survival in 20 patients after auto-HSCT.

Results: In 20 MM patients with median age 52.5 (38-66), the neutrophil and platelet counts recovered at 10(8-18) d and 10 (8-17) d after auto-HSCT respectively, the treatment related mortality during 100 days after auto-HSCT was 0, the partial remission (PR) rate decreased from 31.58% to 0 (P < 0.05) after auto-HSCT, only 1 patient was in progression of disease, all patients were alived.

Conclusion: For patients with MM treated with Auto-HSCT, the BUCY regimen is ideal in safety and response, but the long-term effect still should be observed.
