HSCT for MS New Results Published in JAMA

Great news! Recent HSCT results published in JAMA continue to show the procedure is very effective at halting MS autoimmune disease. In fact, it's much better than standard of care disease-modifying drugs. 

As reported in CNN today :
“...the proportion of patients with no evidence of disease -- defined as no progression, no relapses, and no new or enlarging lesions on MRI scans -- was (nearly) 98% at one year, 93% at two years, 90% at three years, and 78% at four and five years.”


As for me, personally, I received HSCT treatment five years ago this month. MRI scans continue to show that my autoimmune MS continues to be halted without the use of disease modifying MS drugs. THANK YOU DR. BURT!
