Members of the Intestinal Microbiota Are Associated with Relapse after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Year: 2016
Type: article
Abstract: The major causes of mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) are relapse, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and infection. We have previously reported that changes in the intestinal flora can affect GVHD, bacteremia, and overall survival. As intestinal bacteria are potent modulators of systemic immune responses, and since GVHD is correlated with graft-versus-tumor activity, we hypothesized that components of the intestinal flora could be associated with relapse after allo-HSCT.
