What are the Risks and Complications Associated with HSC Transplantation?
While HSCT can be life-saving, it also comes with significant risks and potential complications. One of the most serious is graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), where the donorâs immune cells attack the recipientâs tissues. Other risks include infection, organ damage, and graft failure. Advances in immunosuppressive therapies and supportive care have improved outcomes, but close monitoring and management of complications are essential.
