Life expectancy long, but not normal in patients who survived five years after hematopoietic cell transplantation
"Patients who survived without recurrence longer than five years after hematopoietic cell transplantation had a high probability of surviving up to an additional 15 years. However, life expectancy never returns to that of the general population. "
"“Increased mortality rates emphasize the importance of ready access to high-quality health care and avoidance of exposures that might exacerbate the risks for second malignancies, infections and respiratory disease,” the researchers wrote. “Even though life expectancy does not return to normal, healthy survivors have a high probability of surviving for many additional years.”
