| Description | This study is aimed at comparison of ability to overcome the negative prognostic impact of the most common cytogenetic aberrations by treatment regimens based on Velcade or thalidomide. Both new drugs can overcome negative prognostic impact of all named chromosomal abnormalities except Amp1q21. The difference in TTP median in Amp1q21 positive and negative patients treated by thalidomide based regimen suggests that thalidomide is not able to overcome negative prognostic impact of Amp1q21 in contrary of treatment based on Velcade regimen, which probably may overcome poor prognosis of Amp1q21. |
