[Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of chronic graft-versus-host disease (2024)].

Abstract

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a common and severe complication following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, which significantly impacts patients' survival and quality of life. In recent years, notable progress has been made in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cGVHD, driven by the emergence of novel therapies such as targeted drugs and the advancement of clinical research. This consensus, based on the latest developments in cGVHD research and growing data from evidence-based medicine, has been revised and updated from the "Chinese consensus on the diagnosis and management of chronic graft-versus-host disease (2021)" to better guide clinical practice.
