Multidisciplinary Team Essentials on CMV Prevention, Surveillance, and Treatment Optimization in the Transplant Setting
The role of the multidisciplinary transplant team has expanded considerably over the past decade to keep pace with advances in the field and to address long-term care of transplant recipients. Despite these advances, breakthrough cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections and development of refractory and resistant CMV infections cause significant complications post-transplant. To lessen patient burden and improve survival outcomes, optimal introduction of anti-CMV drugs, both prophylactically and thera... |

Cracking the Code to Successful Stem Cell Mobilization in Multiple Myeloma
STATEMENT OF NEED
Multiple myeloma is the leading indication of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in hematologic malignancies, with high-dose therapy followed by ASCT representing a potentially curative treatment modality for eligible patients. Collecting peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) is an essential component of ASCT, and the collection of sufficient autologous PBSCs relies on the successful mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells from the bone marrow niche i... |
