Impact of center volume on chronic graft versus host disease in patients with allogeneic stem cell transplantation
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative treatment option for various hematological malignancies and benign conditions, such as aplastic anemia.1,2 However, owing to its specialized and complex nature, allogeneic HSCT practice may vary among transplant centers, including variations in patient selection criteria, transplantation regimens, supportive care practices, and management of post-transplant complications.3 –7 These variations may impact transplant outcomes, making the center experience a crucial factor in improving patient outcomes.
