Abstract
Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is a good option in fit young patients affected by POEMS syndrome. Few data are published on how to treat these patients in case of relapse. In this paper we described our two patients who underwent a second ASCT. From our experience, we can confirm that a second transplant is a real treatment option with good results and limited side effects. It provided excellent response and long-term disease-free survival in POEMS patients who relapsed after a first transplant, including late relapses.
