In spite of the large number of procedures performed every year both in the peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) setting and for the treatment of acute and/or chronic GvHD by means of extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP), there are still some unresolved issues about the optimal strategies (1) to perform PBSC mobilization/collection and (2) to treat GvHD patients unresponsive to immunosuppressive therapies by means of ECP. To address these questions, two Italian scientific societies (SIdEM and GITMO), representing respectively physician working within apheresis units and clinical hematologists, committed to working groups of experts the developments of consensus recommendations about the above quoted issues.
