Background: POEMS syndrome is a paraneoplastic phenomenon whose pathogenesis not fully understood, but an underlying plasmaproliferative process appears to promote cytokine release, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) which induces capillary leakage and tissue damage. High dose melphalan‐conditioned autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) effective therapy for patients with adequate performance status who have non‐localised disease, some relapse. Aims: To study the...
