Funded Activity Summary

Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is widely used in Australia to treat patients with haematological cancers. The risk of developing second malignancies after HSCT has been increasingly recognised over recent decades as more and more patients survive. The proposed study will characterise the incidence and risk factors for cancer following HSCT. This information is essential for long-term surveillance and intervention strategies in both specialist and primary care settings.
