Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder (PTLD)
Our mission is to raise awareness and provide care packages to individuals affected by Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder (PTLD)
About PTLD:
PTLD is a serious condition that can occur after solid organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. It involves the uncontrolled growth of lymphoid cells, triggered by the reactivation of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). PTLD can range from benign early lesions to aggressive lymphomas, requiring specialized care and treatment.
What We Do:
-
We can give young patients something personal and soothing during treatments:
