60 COSA è CAMBIATO CON LE NUOVE ASSOCIAZIONI? La THAL e il Bortezomib si potenziano in associazione con MP Il patner ideale per la Len non sembra essere MP ma il Dex/dex La scelta dell uno vs l altro l dipende da considerazioni specifiche sul singolo paziente (PS/comorbidit comorbidità,, rischio genetico, PNP all esordio etc) Le dosi dei nuovi agenti devono essere aggiustate in relazione all et età Non ci sono dati a favore che l utilizzo l contemporaneo dei nuovi agenti possa comportare ad un miglioramento della risposta in grado di incisìdere sulla OS rispetto ad un uso sequenziale volto ad ottenere il massimo da ogni singolo agente Mantenimento/Extended therapy migliora la qualità della risposta e la PFS. Non ci sono dati a favore di un incremento della OS (soprattutto vs un trattamento alla recidiva). Il mantenimento con Bortezomib o Thal aumentano la tossicità.. MPR-R: R: secondo tumore?
