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.)
A variety of skin problems are common after a bone marrow or stem cell transplant including infections, rashes, hair loss, lesions and skin cancer.

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common complication after a stem cell transplant with donor cells (allogeneic transplant). This presentation discusses the manifestations of chronic GVHD on the skin, hair, and nails; how skin GVHD can affect activities of daily living; and pharmacologic and non-pharmacological therapies that can help patients who have skin GVHD
