If you have had a SCT and achieved complete clinical remission and then after several years have elevated light chains, do you ever suggest a second SCT? Or, is other treatment preferred? If you do suggest second SCT process, what are the decision points? If not SCT, what other treatment is your preference?

A second SCT is a viable option, especially if the first SCT led to prolonged remission. Typically however, the impact of a second SCT is not as durable as the first. Candidacy for another SCT would have to be assessed. The pros and cons of the other non-SCT options, including bortezomib- based chemo regimens, particularly if not used previously, should be discussed with the physician in detail.
