Abstract:Objective: Chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) develops after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, when immune
cells from a non-identical donor initiate an immune reaction against the transplant recipient. Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) can

examined.
Patients and Methods: Twenty-six patients who were followed up in the adult Hematology Clinic of Inonu Universi… Show more
