Abstract
To improve the outcome of stem cell transplantation (SCT) an optimal selection of transplant recipient and an extensive pre-SCT workup should be performed. The pre-SCT workup is done to ensure sufficient organ function, rule out major infections, evaluate disease status prior to SCT, and exclude any contraindications to allogeneic SCT. The decision to recommend SCT is dependent on a number of factors including patient age, performance status, comorbidities, family support, socioeconomic condition and motivation to participate in self-care.
