Present challenges impacting the management of psychological symptoms in patients receiving CAR-T therapy or stem cell transplantation

Introduction Hematopoietic stem cell (HSCT) and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy are crucial in the treatment of hematologic malignancies. While HSCT has been long established as a mainstay of the treatment of these diseases, CAR-T is a newer therapy with the potential to change the treatment landscape. Both cellular therapies are time and resource intensive, which has put stressors on patients that are unique from those associated with other forms of oncologic treatment.
