ABSTRACT

Since 2010 there has been an exponential increase of the number of transplants performed from related donors. The development of haploidentical transplants increases the resort to related-donation, which presents two main advantages a less important financial cost and a faster availability of the graft. Standards for mandatory accreditation exist, but the adherence to these recommendations is not optimal currently, different practices regarding the organizational modalities of care, recruitment criteria, qualification and follow-up of related donors have been observed among French transplant centers. The Francophone Society of Marrow Transplant and Cellular Therapy (SFGM-TC) has developed guidelines for the consent and the non-eligibility criteria for hematopoietic stem cell donors. A multidisciplinary group has devised a booklet as a medium to inform donors about hematopoietic cell donation and transplantation in a clear and accessible language. This paper provides recommendations on post-donation follow-up, taking into account both medical standards and organizational constraints of French centers. Some tools are proposed.
