First seen Jan 12, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study tested two approaches—supportive and palliative care (focusing on symptom relief) and clinical management of other health problems (like heart or lung disease)—to see if they could improve quality of life and survival after a donor stem cell transplant. It included 458 older, weak, or frail patients with blood diseases. The goal was to find the best way to reduce suffering and improve outcomes after transplant.
