Objectives:
To review recent research of long-term complications and prevention techniques in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
Data Sources:
Peer review journals, books, and research studies.
Conclusion:
Increasing numbers of HSCTs are performed worldwide, leading to an escalating increase in the number of survivors. Only by increased awareness in prevention, diagnosis, and lifelong surveillance can multiorgan toxicities be decreased.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
Community nurses as well as oncology nurses practicing in research and clinical settings have unique access to patients before and after HSCT. Educating and caring for survivors throughout the entire trajectory of stem cell transplantation can assist in establishing best practice techniques to diminish these complications.
