Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies supportive care for patients with hematological malignancies undergoing hematopoietic cell transplant. Supportive care may improve quality of life in this patient population.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Pilot a supportive care intervention that begins prior to transplantation and continues through the acute peritransplant period. II. Determine the proportion of patients who enroll and the level of comfort / distress of hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) patients who meet with the supportive care team. III. Pilot data collection mechanisms and cost retrieval in preparation for a randomized clinical trial. OUTLINE: Patients undergo supportive care consultation before transplantation and at least once monthly while they remain at the transplant center.
