Research Focus
The treatment of malignant haematological or oncological diseases can contribute to the occurrence of long-term side effects. These long-term consequences often go hand in hand with an impaired quality of life for those affected.
Adolescents and young adults (AYA) are particularly affected because of their young age at the time of illness. Our investigations focus on long-term consequences after tumor therapy or blood stem cell transplantation in young adulthood as well as on the effectiveness of preventive measures (e.g. within the framework of theCARE for CAYA project).
Another focus of interest is immune reconstitution and the therapy of long-term consequences (e.g. chronic GvHD) after allogeneic blood stem cell transplantation.
