Long-Term Care Guidelines Following HCT

Complications from hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) can develop long after a patient leaves the transplant center. To prevent late complications from increasing morbidity in these patients, awareness of the specialized care these patients require is essential.

6 Month, 12 Month, and Annual Care Guidelines

In 2012, experts from seven international transplant professional societies published Recommended screening and preventive practices for long-term survivors after hematopoietic cell transplantation , which outlines long-term screening and preventive practice guidelines applicable to both autologous and allogeneic transplant recipients. [ 1 ]

We offer these guidelines in user-friendly, portable formats for clinicians and patients. The guidelines are organized by organ system to assist in patient care planning and include:

  • Complications and tests
  • Preventive measures for 6 month, 12 month and annual appointments
  • Recommendations for special populations including patients with GVHD, ongoing significant corticosteroid exposure, pediatric patients, and patients who have received total body irradiation (TBI)
