COURSE DESCRIPTION
This one day course will focus
on the role of blood and marrow
transplantation (BMT) in treating
patients with hematologic
malignancies. In an era when new
therapies for these diseases are
becoming more readily available, it
is ever more crucial that caregivers
understand when, in the course of their
disease, patients should be referred
for BMT. Topics will also include
the use of stem cell transplantation
(SCT) when treating hematologic
malignancies, immune recovery and
immunotherapy for patients following
BMT, and the role of BMT.
