This presentation reviews common lung complications after bone marrow transplant or CAR T-cell therapy, including BOS, organizing pneumonia, bronchiectasis, and restrictive lung disease. It also covers early diagnosis, pulmonary function testing, new imaging and treatment options, and ways to help preserve lung function and quality of life.
This presentation reviews the latest advances in preventing and treating acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Dr. Cutler discusses how post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has changed GVHD prevention, new treatments for chronic GVHD, and research on combination therapies and early intervention. He also answers questions about clinical trials, treatment duration, and GVHD’s relationship to relapse.
This presentation explains how graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) can affect the gastrointestinal (GI) tract after an allogeneic transplant. It covers risk factors, common symptoms, treatment options, and ways patients can help manage symptoms and improve outcomes.
Bone health is an important part of long-term recovery after bone marrow transplant and CAR T-cell therapy. This presentation explains why transplant recipients are at increased risk for bone loss and fractures, how osteoporosis develops, who should be screened, and what lifestyle changes, nutritional strategies, exercise, and medications can help maintain healthy bones and reduce fracture risk as patients age.
This presentation discusses quality of life after CAR T-cell therapy, potential short-term, late, and long-term side effects, incidence and risk factors for late and long-term side effects, how to monitor yourself for side effects, when and to whom you should report symptoms, and lifestyle changes that can help prevent or manage long-term effects of CAR T-cell therapy.
This presentation provides a detailed explanation of what an autologous stem cell transplant is, who is a good candidate, the steps involved in undergoing an autologous transplant, short- and long-term side effects, and steps survivors can take to maximize their quality of life after transplant.
Monitoring and maintaining oral health after transplant is an important part of recovery. This presentation describes typical issues with oral health after transplant, including graft-versus-host disease, and how to treat these conditions effectively.
Transplant recipients often experience ongoing issues from their disease and treatment. This presentation describes typical post-transplant complications and how a survivorship plan can help survivors maintain optimal health.
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a potential complication after a bone marrow/stem cell transplant using donor cells. This presentation explains what GVHD (GVHD) is, the difference between acute and chronic GVHD, risk factors for developing GVHD, how to monitor yourself to catch and report symptoms early, treatment options, and lifestyle changes that can improve GVHD symptoms.
This presentation looks at how the foods we eat affect the gut and overall health. Dr. Damman explains why fiber, plant nutrients, healthy fats, and fermented foods are important, and discusses common nutrition questions for transplant patients, including probiotics, digestive symptoms, and how well certain foods are tolerated.
