Advance care planning talks for young transplant patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study tests a structured set of conversations about future medical care (advance care planning) for adolescents and young adults who are preparing for a stem cell transplant. It also involves a caregiver (and the care team) to help ensure the discussions are understood, documented, and completed at the right times.
