Switching Gears: Nutrition Strategies for Stem Cell Transplant Patients

Stem cell transplant patients face significant GI challenges that make nutrition support complex—and critical. In this episode, I’m joined by Katie Harper, MS, RD, CNSC, an expert in oncology and blood and marrow transplant nutrition, to break down best practices for transitioning patients from parenteral nutrition (PN) to enteral nutrition (EN).

We cover:
• When nutrition support is needed during transplant
• Key challenges with PN
• How to assess readiness for EN
• Practical strategies for successful PN-to-EN transitions
• The importance of interdisciplinary collaboration

A must-listen for dietitians and clinicians supporting stem cell transplant patients.
