    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Hematology
    • Transplantation Medicine

    Background:

    • Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is a key treatment for various cancers.
    • ASCT involves autologous bone marrow transplant (ABMT) or peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT).
    • This procedure allows high-dose chemotherapy/radiation followed by stem cell rescue.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the implications of shifting ASCT care to ambulatory and home settings.
    • To highlight the evolving role of nurses in ASCT patient management.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current practices and trends in autologous stem cell transplantation.
    • Analysis of supportive care measures and nursing expertise in outpatient settings.

    Main Results:

    • Supportive care advancements enable more ASCT procedures outside acute care.
    • Ambulatory and home care are becoming standard for ASCT.
    • Nursing expertise is crucial for successful outpatient ASCT.

    Conclusions:

    • The trend towards outpatient ASCT is expected to continue.
    • Significant implications exist for nursing practice and education.
    • Nurses play a vital role in the expanding ambulatory care model for ASCT.
