Prof Nurse. 1999 Nov;15(2):87-90.

Abstract

Following high-dose chemotherapy patients need to undergo bone marrow rescue through stem cell transplantation. Patients who received stem cell transplantation at home expressed satisfaction with this form of therapy. Performing stem cell transplantation in the home can reduce both costs and the risk of infection.
