On April 14, 2024, the GvHD Hub held a symposium at the 50th European Society for Bone and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) Annual Meeting on the role of extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) in the management of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD).  

Here, we share the presentation by Bipin Savani, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, US, which explored the long-term burden of cGvHD. Savani discussed organs frequently affected by cGvHD, comorbidities and mortality in patients with cGvHD, and recent progress made in improving the safety of transplantation. He highlighted that mental health disorders, such as anxiety and depression, are prevalent in patients with cGvHD and that the physical burden of symptomscontributes to limitation of daily activities in these patients.
