It is well known that patients undergoing haemopoietic stem-cell transplantation have substantial physical and psychological morbidity; however, little is known about how to best ameliorate the latter in the long term. Newly published data by Areej El-Jawahri (Massachussetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, USA) and colleagues have shown a lasting benefit to self-reported psychological symptoms from contact with trained palliative-care clinicians during the inpatient period.

移植期间的住院姑息治疗

众所周知，进行造血干细胞移植的患者在生理和心理上都有很高的发病率。但是，从长远来看，如何最好地改善后者知之甚少。Areej El-Jawahri（美国麻萨诸塞州马萨诸塞州马萨诸塞州总医院）及其同事最新发表的数据显示，在住院期间与训练有素的姑息治疗临床医生接触可对自我报告的心理症状产生持久的好处。
