Unlabelled:
Over 4500 hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT) are performed on patients in the United States each year. As HSCT patients shift their survivorship care from large transplant centers to community health care providers, many gynecologists are assuming their pre- and post-HSCT gynecologic care. This article reviews recommendations, current research, and expert opinions on the gynecologic care of HSCT patients.
Target Audience:
Obstetricians & Gynecologists, Family Physicians.
Learning Objectives:
After completing this educational activity, the physician should be better able to implement strategies for the prevention and management of menstrual bleeding during hematopoietic stem cell transplants; educate female patients regarding Fertility Preservation options before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; and apply posthematopoietic stem cell transplant reproductive care screening and treatment recommendations for bone health, sexual health, and secondary cancer development.
