Contact Information
For more information or to schedule an appointment with the BMT Long-term Follow-up Program, please call us at 202-476-3008.
One year after your child’s BMT, they will begin follow-up care through our program and continue with annual checkups as often as needed. These visits include a comprehensive review of your child’s overall health and assess the status of the condition for which they received the transplant.
We also evaluate how well the new immune system is functioning and recommend appropriate strategies to help prevent infections. Our experienced team closely monitors for any complications related to the transplant and work together to manage both short and long-term side effects. Early intervention by our highly trained team can help reduce the risk of complications.
A Multidisciplinary Team Dedicated to Your Child’s Care
In the months following your child’s transplant, they will receive care in the post-transplant clinic from our experienced transplant team. Once your child reaches the one year post-transplant milestone, they will begin being annual visits by our multidisciplinary team in the BMT Long-Term Follow-up Program.
Your child may be seen by specialists from a variety of fields to address any health concerns that may arise following transplant. These may include:
Glossary of Terms
Blood and marrow transplantation involves complex procedures and terminology. To support patient and caregiver understanding, we offer a comprehensive glossary that defines key clinical terms used throughout the transplant process.
