“…Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), also known as bone marrow transplantation, has become a routine part of cancer treatment for many patients with hematologic malignancies (Balassa et al, 2019). HSCT is used clinically not only for the treatment of malignant diseases that require high‐dose chemotherapy or radiotherapy, but also for non‐malignant diseases such as autoimmune diseases (Amonoo et al, 2022), and diseases that affect the quality of life (QOL) and shorten life expectancy (Crowder et al, 2022). HSCT is divided into autologous and allogeneic HSCT, based on transplantation of the patients' own cells or donor cells, respectively (Duarte et al, 2019).…”

AimsTo explore whether music intervention improves the quality of life (QOL) of patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and to evaluate its impact on patients' symptoms of depression/anxiety and fatigue.MethodsThis systematic review and meta‐analysis was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The databases PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, and EMBASE were searched from inception to September 30, 2022. The search strategy used a combination of the keywords “music” and “hematopoietic stem cell transplantation” or “HSCT.” The outcomes assessed were QOL, depression and anxiety, and fatigue. Pooled standardized mean differences with 95% confidence intervals were calculated to compare the outcomes between the music intervention and control groups. Heterogeneity across the studies was assessed using a chi‐square‐based test, and the I2 and Q statistics.ResultsMeta‐analysis of the included study population showed that music intervention for patients undergoing HSCT was associated with patients' improved QOL, and resulted in reduced depression/anxiety and fatigue compared to patients without music intervention.ConclusionMusic intervention benefits HSCT outcomes, including better QOL, less depression/anxiety, and less fatigue postoperatively. Future trials with larger samples are still warranted to strengthen the evidence supporting the benefits of music intervention in this patient population.

“…Haematogenic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a potentially curative, intensive but also challenging approach to treatment for a variety of haematological malignancies [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. However, multiple factors can potentially induce changes in metabolism and body compositions at the time of HSCT, including a high dose of systemic anticancer therapy (SACT), steroids, immunosuppressors, and total body radiation (TBI) which can lead to complications such as mucositis, nausea, vomiting, decreased indigestion, infections, or graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) [ 1 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. Nutritional support prevents protein wasting, preserves the lean body mass and energy reserves, recontracts immunity, and diminishes the inflammatory response [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ].…”

The Critical Exploration into Current Evidence behind the Role of the Nutritional Support in Adult Patients Who Undergo Haematogenic Stem Cell Transplantation

Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a treatment option for many haematological conditions in patients of all ages. Nutritional support is important at each stage of treatment, but particular nutritional needs and dictated support occur during the preparatory (conditioning regimen) and post-transplant periods. Patients may require nutritional treatment by the enteral or parenteral route. The quantitative and qualitative composition of meals may change. Vitamin requirements, including vitamin D and vitamin C, might also be different. An adequately composed diet, adapted to the needs of the patient, may influence the occurrence of complications such as graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), gastrointestinal disorders, infections, and reduced survival time. Haematological diseases as well as transplantation can negatively affect the intestinal flora, with negative consequences in the form of mucosal inflammation and disorders of a functional nature. Currently, aspects related to nutrition are crucial in the care of patients after HSCT, and numerous studies, including randomized trials on these aspects, are being conducted. This study serves the critical analysis of current scientific evidence regarding nutritional support for patients after HSCT.
