Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, Complications, Pediatric PatientsAbstract
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a curative treatment for children with malignant and non-malignant diseases. In recent years, we have observed a significant increase in the survival of these patients, due to improved resources. In this article, we discuss non-infectious complications related to HCT, including their management, prevention, and best options of treatment.
