Mitigating Veno-occlusive Disease Risk in Patients Treated for Relapsed/Refractory B-cell Precursor ALL

Veno-occlusive disease (VOD) is a life-threatening condition associated with treatment of relapsed/refractory B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R ALL). Early recognition and management are paramount to recovery. This self-directed education was designed for diverse members of the interdisciplinary care team who treat or may encounter patients with R/R ALL who are at risk for VOD. Expert commentary from Partow Kebriaei, MD, provides answers to common questions faced by clinicians when diagnosing and managing VOD.
