Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a serious complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) caused by immune dysregulation leading to multisystem involvement resulting in tissue sclerosis. This is a long-term complication that can significantly affect the quality of life of HSCT recipients due to secondary immunodeficiency associated with combined immunosuppressive therapy, impaired organ function and even disability. In addition to active prophylaxis for chronic GVHD, regular follow-up of patients is necessary for early detection of signs and symptoms of GVHD to enable timely and effective treatment. Here, we present a brief overview of novel approaches to diagnosis, classification, and staging of chronic GVHD, as well as current prophylaxis and treatment options.
