Hematopoietic cell transplantation in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
1Department of Clinical Practice and Professional Education, City of Hope National Medical Center, Duarte, CA 91010, USA. ssteingass@coh.org
Objective:
To explore the role and outcomes using hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) as a treatment option with aggressive, follicular, mantle, T-cell, and HIV related non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).
Data Sources:
Research and review articles and textbooks.
Conclusion:
High-dose chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy followed by HCT has been used to overcome resistance to standard-dose therapy and has been explored over the past 40 years and has shown long-term survival of approximately 10% to 50% in patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoma.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
Nursing plays a significant role in the assessment and management of patients throughout the course of HCT.
