What is Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (cGVHD)?
Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (cGVHD) is a complex, multi-organ disorder that often occurs after a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). It arises when the donor's immune cells attack the recipient's tissues, mistaking them for foreign invaders. This condition is a significant complication in the context of cancer treatment, particularly for patients undergoing HSCT for leukemia, lymphoma, and other hematologic malignancies.
