Best Practice Considerations in Nutritional Care for Adult Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The American Society of Transplantation and Cellular Therapy partnered with established registered dietitian experts in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Committee members and the expert dietitians developed frequently asked questions (FAQs) asked by HCT providers. The expert dietitians drafted a list of these FAQs, which were then reviewed by the Practice Guidelines Committee and organized by the representatives assigned as partners for this article. The FAQs are organized by phase in the peri-HCT period. The FAQs cover pre-HCT and early post-HCT nutrition assessment (FAQs 1 to 4), early post-HCT nutrition interventions (FAQs 5 to 11), and chronic post-HCT nutrition interventions (FAQs 13 to 16). Finally, emerging topics in nutritional care with HCT recipients are highlighted as future directions with opportunities for further research (FAQ 17-19).
