Article Synopsis
- Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is effective as a long-term treatment for steroid-refractory chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD), particularly for skin and mucosal symptoms.
- An analysis of 14 patients showed significant reductions in skin lesion severity and improvement in mucosal symptoms over time, with many patients reducing or stopping their immunosuppressant medications.
- ECP was well tolerated with no major side effects reported, highlighting its potential as a beneficial therapy for managing cGVHD.
