  Research Interest

  I am interested in the prevention and management of infectious complication in pediatric oncology patients. I am currently conducting a retrospective chart review of voriconazole vs. fluconazole for the prevention of invasive fungal disease after allogeneic stem cell transplant. I am also interested in developing a protocol for the management of low risk patients with fever and neutropenia.

  Hsu, Christopher H.
  Academic Appointments Postdoctoral Medical fellow, Pediatrics, Hematology & Oncology
  
  Research Interest

  Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a malignancy consisting of a heterogeneous population of cells with differing leukemic potential. Though AML has achieved a cure rate of almost 80%, a significant number of patients relapse with dismal post-relapse survival of 30%. Explaining how different leukemic cells manifest as cancer and why certain patients respond poorly to therapy has been debated among research groups. The theory that leukemic stem cells, self-replicating clones with the potential to..
