📢 Upcoming Webinar | BMT Subunit

Nutrition Support During Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation: Current Evidence and Translation to Clinical Practice

📅 November 4, 2026 | 3:00 PM CST

Join us for an evidence-based discussion led by Sarah Andersen, PhD, Adv APD, Advanced Dietitian (Cancer Care) at Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital and Metro North Clinician Research Fellow.

Dr. Andersen’s research focuses on nutrition support during allogeneic stem cell transplantation, including enteral versus parenteral nutrition, the gastrointestinal microbiome, and changes in body composition and energy expenditure during cancer treatment.

Key learning objectives:
• Review current evidence comparing enteral and parenteral nutrition during hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
• Identify indications and contraindications for enteral and parenteral nutrition support.
• Explore practical strategies for implementing enteral nutrition in clinical practice.

This webinar offers an opportunity for oncology nutrition professionals and multidisciplinary care teams to translate emerging evidence into clinical practice and optimize nutritional care during transplantation.
