The head of the department is hematologist, Vera A. Vasilieva, Candidate of Medical Sciences.
The department as an independent unit was opened in November 2018 However, since 2016, the doctors of this unit have been engaged in outpatient admission of patients after BMT within the Department of Intensive High-Dose Chemotherapy and Bone Marrow Transplantation with Round-the-Clock Hospital (Head of the Department – Cand. Sci. (Med.), L.A. Kuzmina.)
The department is indispensable due to the increasing number of patients after BMT. The experience accumulated by the department in managing patients helps to coherently monitor, carry out diagnostic and preventive procedures for patients after BMT, and prevent serious complications at early stages. Patients are monitored throughout their entire subsequent life after allo-HSCT, more thoroughly during the first year after allogeneic BMT, since all significant events occur at this time. Particular attention is paid to patients with chronic GVHD, prevention of relapses and the presence of other complications after allo-HSCT.
In order to improve the quality of medical care, the doctors of the department created the "Patient Schools" project, which highlights potential problems and all topical issues related to allo- HSCT. All school lessons are recorded as video recommendations and posted on the website for transplant patients ( tkm.blood.ru ).
The department carries out clinical studies together with the Department Hemoblastosis Chemotherapy and Bone Marrow and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation and the Sector for Scientific Research of Hemoblastosis Chemotherapy, Hematopoetic Depressions and Bone Marrow Transplantation.
In 2021, the department, in conjunction with other departments of the NMRC for Hematology, received two patents for inventions within the framework of which therapy is carried out with cryopreserved mononuclear cells subjected to extracorporeal photoirradiation for the treatment of acute and chronic GVHD.
