Summary
This study tested whether a procedure called extracorporeal photophoresis (ECP) could prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in 158 people receiving stem cell transplants for blood cancers. ECP involves treating a patient's blood with light before returning it to the body. The goal was to reduce the number of patients who develop GVHD, a serious complication where donor cells attack the patient's body.
