Dietary intake and Diet Quality of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Survivors

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) is potentially a curative treatment option for variety of hematologic diseases. Advances in the field of HCT over the past decade due to safer conditioning regimens, better post-transplant supportive care, and alternative graft sources has markedly increased the number of transplants performed leading to increases in long-term survivors. There were 108,900 HCT survivors in United States in 2009 (67,000 autologous HCT and 41,900 allogeneic HCT survivors) [1].
