Quality of Life of Patients with Lymphomas at Different Time-Points after High-Dose Chemotherapy with Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

The article presents results of monitoring of quality of life of 103 patients with lymphomas (non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, n = 36; Hodgkin’s lymphomas, n = 67) at different stages after high-dose chemotherapy with autologic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HDC + HSCT). The majority of patients experienced improvement or stabilization of their quality of life 1 year after the HDC + aHSCT. At that, the response associated with the quality of life and clinical response to the treatment did not coincide in all cases. Obtained results confirm the importance of a comprehensive approach to assessment of the efficacy of the treatment and may be use as a principle marker of patient’s recovery at different time points after the transplantation.
