2023 Department of Medicine Grand Rounds | Mucus-degrading Microbiome and Toxicities of Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is used to treat hematologic malignancies. The microbiome has found to be associated with differences in outcomes of HCT. It is important to understand how the microbiome can modulate outcomes after hematopoietic cell transplantation.
Studies regarding the microbiome and hematopoietic cell transplantation outcomes have been performed recently and may not be widely known among cancer providers. It is imperative that clinicians stay abreast of the advances in this area. This lecture will discuss published and unpublished data, and will help educate providers regarding the microbiome in HCT.
Target Audience
All physicians
Learning Objectives
- Analyze mucus degrading intestinal bacterial subsets.
- Examine which clinical hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) outcomes are associated with mucus degrading intestinal bacteria.
- Identify risk factors leading to increased activity from mucus-degrading intestinal bacteria.
- Discuss strategies to potentially protect intestinal mucosa.
