Palliative care support for stem cell transplant patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a palliative care program (extra support for comfort and quality of life) is helpful for people receiving a stem cell transplant. It aims to see if patients and doctors find it useful and easy to use.
