Supportive (Maintenance) Therapy in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Main Principles and New Perspectives by VP Pop, OA Rukavitsyn

“…The study demonstrates that many of the classic recommendations of ST are being constantly updated given the wide variability of approaches not only to post-transplant monitoring, but also to empirical antibiotic therapy and the use of hematopoietic growth factors and the appropriateness of the correction of the microbiota, constraints of the external environment and social contacts. Currently, HSCT is becoming more available, in conditions close to the out-patient clinics, which leads to improved outcomes and significantly decreases the cost of hospital stay. …”
