Abstract

The increasing number of allogeneic stem cell transplantations has made the management of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) a continuing problem for transplantation professionals. GVHD is a complicated disease the treatment of which requires an equally multifaceted approach. Despite therapeutic efforts to decrease its distressing and potentially lethal clinical manifestations, treatment is still not optimal.
