Does HSCT Work for MS Long-Run? [Neurologist analyzes Italian multi-center cohort study]

Does HSCT Work for MS Long-Run?   [Neurologist analyzes Italian multi-center cohort study]

Autologous Hematopoietic Stem cell Transplant can be very effective for MS, but how do people fare many years after HSCT? Most studies have very limited follow up, but Italian researchers compiled 5-10 year follow up and analyzed different conditioning regimens. Some people believe memory helper T cells and plasma cells in the bone marrow may be resistant to Cytoxan, and BEAM + ATG could yield better results.
