Description
Surveillance (eg, with regularly performed CBC as well as other measures in the presence of concern for hematologic sequelae) for bone marrow failure, as well as surveillance for multiple cancer types (eg, with self-examination and clinical examination), and pulmonary disease may allow early detection and treatment; Lung transplant may be indicated in individuals with advanced lung diease; HSCT may be indicated due to manifestations including leukemia and bone marrow failure (which may also be treated with androgen therapy), but the long-term efficacy may not be optimal; Awareness of infectious risk may allow prompt diagnosis and treatment of infections.
