Cognitive changes in elderly stem cell transplant patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Mental health clinical trials.
This study observes how thinking and memory (cognitive levels) change in older adults before and after receiving a donor stem cell transplant. It aims to understand the cognitive impact of the transplant process to help improve care.
