title: Endocrine complications of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
abstract: Advances in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have resulted in broader indications for this therapeutic modality in both malignant diseases and nonmalignant conditions. This article focuses on the late endocrine abnormalities that are most commonly observed following successful HSCT, with a special emphasis on pediatric HSCT recipients, for whom long-term follow-up data are increasingly available.
