During the 48th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT), the ALL Hub spoke with Giovanna Lucchini, Great Ormond Street Hospital, London, UK. We asked, How does graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) affect outcomes for pediatric patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)?
How does GvHD affect outcomes for pediatric patients undergoing allo-SCT for ALL?
Lucchini begins by describing how background disorders impact GvHD in patients post transplant. Lucchini then discusses the concept of engineering GvHD that is 'enough, but not too much' and highlights the need for more strategies to support patients and control GvHD.
