Referral guidelines

The 2007 NMDP/ASBMT Recommended Timing for Transplant Consultation indicates prognostic factors for patients at risk of disease progression and, therefore, which patients should be evaluated for transplantation. [1]


Long-term survival guidelines

The two-part guide, Recommended Post-Transplant Care, contains:
  • Part I: Long-term screening: Includes a checklist of recommended post-transplant screening and preventive practices. [2]
  • Part II: Screening for chronic GVHD: Identifies clinical manifestations and patient symptoms of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). [3]
