Graft-versus-Host-Disease (GVHD) occurs when transplanted donor cells attack the patient’s body. It can affect virtually every organ in the body and may require prolonged treatment. This presentation reviews the different types of GVHD, symptoms you should watch for and report to your doctor, and the available treatment options.

Autologous transplants (using the patient’s own cells) are typically done for myeloma or lymphoma. This presentation reviews the potential complications that may arise from this procedure and provides numerous recommendations for how they can be managed or avoided.

The number of stem cell transplants performed is increasing, which means more people are concerned about ongoing complications or late effects after transplant. This presentation reviews potential late effects after a stem cell transplant (hematopoietic cell transplant) using donor cells (aka allogeneic transplant).
