Lessons learned, best practices. . . optimizing cord blood transplantation.Unrelated donor cord blood is a rapidly available cryopreserved stem cell source that has the advantage of reduced stringency of required HLA-match. This extends transplant access to minority patients and those in need of urgent transplantation. At Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, optimization of cord blood transplantation (CBT) practices including graft selection, conditioning, graft thaw and early post-transplant supportive care — especially prevention and management of graft-versus-host disease and Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections — has resulted in a dramatic reduction in transplant-related mortality after CBT for high-risk acute leukemia in adults. This combined with very low rates of relapse has resulted in very high survival in this patient population. These promising results and the future of adult CBT will be discussed in detail in this Share the Science session. Register now to receive a link to the recording and slides.

Knowing how to manage those risks are key to giving your patients the best care possible and giving them the best odds possible for treatment. Join us to hear Dr. Amanda Olson speak from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, in detail about the best practices in the prevention and treatment of opportunistic infections in adult patients undergoing cord blood transplantation. She will present evidence-based recommendations for the prevention and treatment of opportunistic infections in adult patients undergoing CBT. Topics will include:
The webinar will review key concepts including the recent important role of letermovir in the prevention of CMV reactivation. In instances where there is a paucity of data, practice recommendations are provided, including the duration of antimicrobial prophylaxis. SHARE THE SCIENCE with Amanda L.
