According to a study with adult patients undergoing their first allo-SCT in France by Malard et al., the cumulative incidence of extensive cGvHD at 2 years remained stable between 1983 and 2000. How did the incidence change between 2001 and 2010?

On April 14, 2024, the GvHD Hub held a symposium at the 50th European Society for Bone and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) Annual Meeting on the role of extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) in the management of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD).
Here, we share the presentation by Mohamad Mohty, Hôpital Saint-Antoine and Sorbonne Université, Paris, FR, which explored a brief history of ECP, outlined the allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Figure 1) and ECP procedures (Figure 2), and also included two cGvHD patient case studies.

Q&A session
This symposium closed with a panel Q&A session with live audience participation, where our panelists shared their perspectives on the impact of ECP on the GvHD treatment landscape and the importance of early intervention in GvHD treatment.
