HOW I TREAT
How I treat chronic graft-versus-host disease
Georgia B. Vogelsang
From the Oncology Center, Johns Hopkins University
School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD.
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) is now a commonplace
procedure. Clinicians who care for patients with hematologic malignancies and aplastic anemia are almost certain to follow up
patients after SCT. This review is intended to help clinicians observe
patients for probably the most important late complication of SCT,
chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). It reviews the pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical manifestations, evaluation, treatment, and supportive care of chronic GVHD.
