Abstract
Hematopoietic cell transplantation is a potentially lifesaving procedure for patients with hematological malignancies. However, transplant recipients face numerous challenges in the months and years after transplantation. Pulmonary function testing is a critical pretransplantation evaluation tool that can help transplant physicians understand the risk for complications after transplantation, as well as to understand what risks can be mitigated. This chapter highlights the utility of the pretransplantation pulmonary evaluation to understand and mitigate the risk of posttransplant complications.
