Program Description:

This publication will explore practical consideration for post-transplantation care in key areas, including strategies for related versus unrelated donor transplants, and cord blood recipients. Using case studies, a transplanter and a nontransplanter will provide their perspectives for care once a patient leaves the transplantation center. They will discuss routine monitoring, benign signs and symptoms that should be addressed, and emergency presentation cases. The role of clinical trials will be addressed.
