One area of accomplishment has been to optimize high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation, as well as new agents, to improve “salvage” therapy for patients with disease that has returned or is not responding to standard therapy.

These include designing risk-adapted therapies, based on risk factors present before treatment and also the results of imaging studies.
