Survival benefits in patients treated with MAT+ASCT confirm that the procedure should remain an integral part of multimodal therapy. In patients treated with anti-GD2 immunotherapy, limited evidence suggests that omitting MAT+ASCT is associated with an increased risk of relapse, and therefore, a change in clinical practice can currently not be recommended. Evidence suggests the use of tandem MAT+ASCT compared with the single procedure, with greater benefits observed in patients treated with anti-GD2 immunotherapy. Limited evidence also suggests improved survival following MAT+ASCT in relapsed patients, which needs to be viewed in light of emerging chemoimmunotherapy in this setting.
