Outcomes and Complications Post-Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

Dear Colleagues,

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is potentially curative for both benign and malignant hematological disorders, and its use continues to increase worldwide with the expansion of the pool of stem cell donors that are potentially available. Although survival and other outcomes continue to improve over the years with various modifications in practice changes, allogeneic HCT remains associated with significant morbidity and mortality related to numerous potential complications post-transplant. In this Special Issue of Hematology Reports, we invite submissions that explore the complications following allogeneic HCT, analyze factors that influence post-transplant outcomes for a variety of hematological conditions, and shed light into practice changes that may ultimately improve post-transplant outcomes. The Special Issue also welcomes research that explores outcome prediction using novel methods and technologies such as machine learning and biomarker research. Through multidisciplinary contribution, this Special Issue aims to inform best practices and enhance outcomes for allogeneic HCT recipients.    

Kind regards,
Dr. Fotios V. Michelis
