Explanation

"Outside HCT" in the medical context refers to a situation or condition that is not related to Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT). HCT is a procedure where a patient receives healthy blood-forming cells to replace their own that have been destroyed by disease or by the treatment for that disease.
