Frequency, Characteristics, Management, and Outcomes of Posttransplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Children: A Multicentre Retrospective Study of the Turkish Pediatric BMT Study Group

Key Points

• This research aims to investigate the frequency and outcomes of posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) in pediatric patients after allogeneic HSCT.
• Multicenter retrospective analysis
• Involvement of the Turkish Pediatric BMT Study Group
• Assessment of PTLD frequency and characteristics
• PTLD occurred infrequently in the pediatric population
• CNS involvement was linked to poorer overall survival
• Failure to achieve remission also correlated with decreased survival rates
