Improvement of Women's Health After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The aim of this prospective research project is to better understand vulvovaginal cGVHD to improve care of allografted women. The expected outcomes include better knowledge of the incidence and manifestations of vulvovaginal cGVHD, risk factors, response to treatments and impact on sexual health of allotransplanted female patients. The knowledge acquired will allow transplant clinicians to make more precise recommendations for gynecological management of future allografted women.
