_______, a major cause of morbidity and mortality in 30-50% of the allogenic transplant
population, occurs when the donor lymphocytes initiate an immune response against
the recipient's tissues (skin, GI tract, liver) during the beginning of engraftment.

the transplanted cells should not be immunologically tolerant of a patient's
malignancy and should cause a lethal graft-versus-tumor effect in which
the donor cells recognize the malignant cells and act to eliminate them.

Involves removing non-vital tissues or organs that are at increased risk of
developing cancer.
Factors considered when discussing this type of surgery:
Family history and genetic predisposition
Presence or absence of signs and symptoms
Potential risks and benefits
Ability to detect cancer at an early stage
Alternative options for managing increased risk
The patient's acceptance of the postoperative outcome
Examples: colectomy, mastectomy, oophorectomy
Surgical care is _____ according to age, organ impairment, specific deficits,
comorbidities, cultural implications, and altered immunity.
