Long-Term Health-Related Outcomes in Survivors of Childhood Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

Posted on March 6, 2014 by admin

Presentation Description:
HCT is frequently offered as a curative option for children with benign and malignant conditions. Improvements in HCT strategies have increased survival by approximately 10% per decade. In fact, long-term survival is an expected outcome for many children and adolescents who undergo HCT. The growing population of long-term survivors has brought to the medical forefront a host of chronic and debilitating conditions attributed to toxicity from pre-transplantation exposure, transplantation conditioning regimens, chronic immunosuppression, and GVHD. This presentation provided an overview of health-related outcomes in long-term survivors of childhood HCT, and compared these outcomes to survivors of conventionally treated cancer.

Understanding Acute GVHD: Linking Clinical Science to the Bedside

Posted on February 1, 2013 by admin

Presentation Description: Graft versus host disease (GVHD) remains the major complication of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT), but until recently there have been no laboratory biomarkers for GVHD. One new plasma biomarker for GVHD of the gastrointestinal tract, Regenerative 3c (REG3o), has significant diagnostic and prognostic value. This presentation described one approach to the discovery and validation of such biomarkers and analyzed their potential for use in developing new grading schemes with improved risk-stratification of patients.
