Following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), pediatric recipients face a high incidence of late effects, underscoring the need for long-term monitoring and early detection.1 To optimize the long-term care for patients with malignant and non-malignant diseases, this case-based activity explores post-autologous and allogeneic HCT screening recommendations, including: risk factors associated with exposures and late effects, screening and assessment guidelines, and vaccination schedules.
