NIH Blood and Marrow Transplantation Late Effects Consensus Conference
DCEG Events
June 21 – June 22, 2016
NCI Shady Grove Rockville, MD
Co-Sponsored by the National Cancer Institute and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute
This day-and-a-half NCI-NHLBI-sponsored conference will bring together experts in blood and marrow transplantation (BMT), late effects, and health care delivery to discuss current evidence and knowledge gaps, develop consensus guidelines, and inform future research in the BMT survivor population. The symposium will focus on six late effect categories:
- New malignancies
- Quality of life/psychosocial outcomes
- Immune dysregulation and pathobiology
- Health care delivery
- Vascular and metabolic outcomes
- Research methodology/study design
Each session will include a presentation on findings and recommendations followed by a panel discussion on consensus guidelines. The goal of these sessions is to identify knowledge gaps, develop evidence-based recommendations and identify important research questions to improve BMT survivor monitoring and management. This is a public meeting and all stakeholders are encouraged to attend.
