Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is an important therapeutic option for a variety of malignant and nonmalignant conditions. As the number of allogeneic HCT continues to increase, greater attention to improvements in supportive care, infectious prophylaxis, immunosuppressive medications and DNA-based tissue typing are continuously being made. However, graft versus host disease (GVHD) remains the most frequent and serious complication following allogeneic HCT and limits the broader application of this important therapy. Recent advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis of GVHD have led to new approaches to its management, including utilizing its role in preserving the graft versus leukemia effect following allogeneic transplant. Here we review the important elements in the complex immunological interactions involving cytokine networks, chemokine gradients and the direct mediators of cellular cytotoxicity that cause clinical GVHD, and discuss the risk factors and strategies for management of GVHD.
