year: 2023
summary/abstract:People with sickle cell disease (SCD) are now living longer than they did in previous decades.

And thanks to new ways to treat and manage the condition, patients are now more aware of what they can do to live healthier, for longer.
Still, there is currently no widely available or acceptable cure for the inherited blood disorder. Although bone marrow transplant can offer a cure for some patients, the procedure is not without risks. That’s why creating a plan for managing the symptoms of the condition can be the key to how an adult can live better with SCD.
