Gastrointestinal Complications after High-Dose Chemotherapy and Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation in Oncohematological Patients

Different gastrointestinal disorders with different degrees of severity are diagnosed in almost all oncohematological patients receiving the high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) with autologous bone marrow transplantation (transplantation of peripheral hematopoietic stem cells). The mentioned disorders (mucositis) significantly impair the quality of life, promote the development of infectious complications, and, in some cases, can cause a lethal outcome. Authors emphasize the importance of GIT disorders due to HDC with autologous bone marrow transplantation, present etiological and pathogenetic factors of mucosites and give a detailed description of the clinical evaluation, test methods, prevention and treatment of such transplantation complications in oncohematological patients.
