After a median follow-up of more than 11 years, non-inferiority of single versus tandem HDM/ASCT was demonstrated using the planned non-inferiority threshold of 15 KW - Myeloablative Agonists (NLM Chemicals) KW - Melphalan (NLM Chemicals) LB - PUB:(DE-HGF)16 C6 - pmid:26990892 DO - DOI:10.1111/bjh.13994 UR - https://inrepo02.dkfz.de/record/129105 ER -
