EHA 2024 | The impact of alloSCT versus blood transfusion & iron chelation on the QoL of patients with TDT

Tsampika Vasileia Kalamara, MD, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece, discusses the findings of a meta-analysis of observational studies investigating the impact of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) versus blood transfusion and iron chelation on the health-related quality of life (QoL) of patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT). Patients undergoing alloSCT, both adult and pediatric, demonstrated a superior QoL than those on conventional therapy. This interview took place at the 29th Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA) in Madrid, Spain.
