Patient Fitness and Body Composition During Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Sponsor: Garcia, Jose M., MD, PhD

Summary

This proposal aims to characterize biochemical and physiologic factors that contribute to changes in patient fitness and body composition during hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) for hematologic malignancies. The study group will consist of 60 patients with hematologic malignancies treated with HCT. Measurements of patient fitness, body composition, and inflammatory milieu will be performed at visits before HCT, and 30 days (+/- 10 days) after HCT. For patients that continue to receive care at the Seattle VA, additional visits (not exceeding 6 total) may be requested periodically for up to 2 years after HCT.
