The Froedtert and MCW BMT Survivorship Program provides comprehensive care management for adult survivors of allogeneic stem cell transplants. The program manages the unique and complex medical and psychological issues that BMT Survivors face in a long-term clinical care setting. Those issues include but are not limited to: management of chronic GVHD and iron overload syndrome, and screening for secondary cancers and psychological illness. We have a network of experienced specialty physicians who co-manage patients who have complex manifestations of graft vs host disease as well as primary care providers who have an additional knowledge base about this patient population.
