Support program for caregivers of stem cell transplant patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a program to help caregivers of patients receiving a stem cell transplant (bone marrow transplant) for blood cancer. It aims to reduce stress and provide support during this challenging time.
