Stem cells registries worldwide have collected and continue to collect long-term information on people who have received G-CSF. It is particularly important to have this information because donor registries, including the MDR(I), are committed to continue the systematic collection of follow-up data to further clarify if there are any positive or negative long-term effects from receiving G-CSF.    The MDR(I) would therefore like to review you medically 3 months and annually for five years. If any abnormal findings in follow-up testing are identified you will be referred to your GP or a relevant physician.
