Description
The apheresis center and blood bank play a critical supporting role in hematopoietic cell transplantation. This audioconference will review how three products are currently used: allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells, granulocytes, and donor lymphocytes. One speaker will discuss current data that help guide physicians in deciding whether to request peripheral blood or bone marrow from a stem cell donor. Another speaker will discuss the current indications for granulocyte transfusions. The third speaker will review current concepts about when and how donor lymphocyte infusions are used and how patients are monitored for complications. All three speakers will also discuss the most critical unanswered questions related to these products and describe current research designed to provide the answers.
- Appraise the current data supporting the choice of either peripheral blood or bone marrow as an allogeneic stem cell source.
- Illustrate how relapses after hematopoietic cell transplantation are managed, with a focus on the role of donor lymphocyte infusions.
- Summarize the role of granulocyte transfusions in supporting patients undergoing treatment for hematologic malignancies.
