slides and practice aids, and complete the post-test to earn
credit. In this activity, experts in blood and marrow
transplantation illuminate the roles of various members of the
transplant team in the overall approach to diagnosing and treating
VOD/SOS, while also offering learners a window into how
hematologist-oncologists, transplant specialists, advanced practice
clinicians, radiologists, pathologists, nurses, pharmacists, and
other team members can collaborate to overcome the many challenges
of VOD/SOS. Upon completion of this activity, participants should
be better able to: Explain the clinical signs, symptoms, and
medical burden of VOD/SOS to patients preparing for
transplantation, Apply team-based approaches to risk assessment and
diagnostic confirmation of VOD/SOS, including interpretation of
clinical symptoms/disease onset and use of techniques such as
ultrasound imaging or other strategies as appropriate, Use modern
adverse event severity grading models to determine the presence and
severity of organ dysfunction in patients with a VOD/SOS diagnosis,
Recommend appropriate team management options for adult and
pediatric patients with VOD/SOS in the post-HCT setting.
