It mainly affects young, socioeconomic active patients. Although our armamentarium for this disease has significantly evolved in recent years some patients remain refractory to conventional therapies. In these cases, autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can be considered as a therapeutic option. Decreasing morbidity, mortality, and increasing patient awareness have led to rising inquiry by our patients about this treatment option. With the aim of a standardized protocol and data registration, a Belgian working party on stem cell therapy in multiple sclerosis was established. In this paper, we report the consensus protocol of this working party on autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in multiple sclerosis. | Notes: | Laureys, G (reprint author), Ghent Univ Hosp, Dept Neurol, De Pintelaan 185, B-9000 Ghent, Belgium. laureysg@hotmail.com | Keywords: | Multiple sclerosis; Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; Consensus Paper | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/26269 | ISSN: | 0300-9009 | e-ISSN: | 2240-2993 | DOI: | 10.1007/s13760-018-0905-0 | ISI #: | 000433236400003 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2019 |
