[Health and psychosocial aspects of quality of life in patients undergoing autologous progenitor stem cell transplantation].

Abstract

The haematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a specific therapy used not only for the treatment of haematooncological diseases, but also for the treatment of the solid tumours and some of the non-malignant diseases. The haematopoietic stem cell transplantation has an influence on the course of the disease and the quality of life as any other curative method. The authors explore the quality of life in 12 adult patients with acute myeloid leukaemia undergoing autologous progenitor stem cell transplantation at the Department of Clinical Haematology of the 2nd Department of Internal Medicine of Charles University Hospital in Hradec Králové.
