Liquid nutrition vs. usual diet in stem cell transplant patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving liquid nutrition through a feeding tube during stem cell transplant is better than the usual diet. The goal is to see if it is safe and can help patients feel better during recovery.
