ForwardNon-HLA Barriers to Blood/Marrow Transplant
Activity description
Historically, the lack of finding a human leukocyte antigens (HLA)-match has been perceived as the largest barrier to BMT. Many barriers besides a lack of suitably matched donors exist and can have an adverse impact on access and outcomes of BMT. This session will identify key barriers to BMT including barriers that prevent access to care, such as language and cultural differences; illiteracy; and environmental, geographic, genetic, and medical barriers. Using guidelines from professional codes of ethics, the ethical implications to the inequalities and disparities will be discussed with the goal of improving these barriers and outcomes.
