Pueden desarrollarse nuevos cánceres después de un trasplante de células madre. Esta presentación describe qué tipos de cánceres pueden desarrollarse, los factores de riesgo y las medidas que puede tomar para prevenir y detectar nuevos cánceres después del trasplante.

New cancers can develop after a stem cell transplant using your own (autologous) or donor (allogeneic) stem cells. This presentation describes what types of cancers may develop, risk factors and what you can do to reduce your risk of developing a secondary cancer,

Bone marrow transplant survivors have an increased risk of developing a second or “secondary” cancer later in life. This video discusses risk factors for developing a secondary cancer, cancers most frequently seen after transplant and monitoring and testing that should be done periodically to catch second cancers early when they are easiest to treat. (Throughout the talk, bone marrow transplant refers both to bone marrow transplants and stem cell transplants, as well as cord blood transplants.)

Patients who have had a stem cell transplant have a higher risk of developing a second cancer than the general population. The risk of developing a second cancers increases over time. Life-long surveillance and testing is important to catch any second cancer early, when treatment is most effective.

Secondary cancers sometimes occur after a bone marrow, stem cell transplant or cord blood transplant. Frequent screening can help detect secondary cancers early when treatment is most effective. Lifestyle modifications can also reduce the risk of developing certain cancers after transplant.
