Atlas of Graft-versus-Host Disease


Book Description

This atlas provides trainees and practicing physicians a visual toolkit to help recognize and manage this difficult condition appropriately. This text highlights the clinical variability of GVHD, and arms readers with the diagnostic clues to categorize patients according to the current grading/staging guidelines. Furthermore, this atlas offers evidence-based diagnostic and treatment algorithms for physicians to use while at patients' bedsides.







Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease


Book Description

Chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) is the most common complication of allogenic bone marrow transplantation. Because of the protracted clinical course of chronic GVHD, transplant centers and hematology/oncology offices are inadequately equipped to manage these immuno-incompetent patients with a multi-system disorder. Practitioners need to be able to recognize and effectively manage chronic GVHD as a late effect of more than half of allogenic transplantations. The text is oriented for the clinician, with chapters covering staging, organ site and system-specific manifestations, treatment options, and supportive care. Drs Georgia B. Vogelsang and Steven Z. Pavletic have been pioneers in the recognition of the multi-organ complexity of this disease and have gathered the input of a variety of subspecialist physicians for this book. This book fills the gap in practical literature on chronic GVHD, providing a comprehensive, up-to-date, and clinically relevant resource for anyone who deals with cancer patients post-transplant.
