Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Unique Pediatric Populations: Adolescents, Infants, and Children with Down Syndrome

Year: 2012

Type: review

Abstract: Children with Down syndrome (DS), adolescents/young adults (AYA), and infants with high-risk and relapsed leukemia face distinct challenges during and after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). In this review, we examine the unique aspects of HSCT for these patients, including the risk of transplantation-related toxicity, psychosocial concerns, and the potential for late effects.
