[Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and treatment with CAR-T cells - identification of psycho-social vulnerability factors: Guidelines from the Francophone Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (SFGM-TC)].

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) and CAR-T cells therapy are treatments with curative aim for certain hematological malignancies, refractory or relapse. Nevertheless, they carry the risk of morbidity and mortality and may have a significant psychosocial impact, particularly for HCT. It is therefore necessary to identify psychological difficulties and social problems, as well as the patient's resources, and those of his entourage, in order to improve his overall management.

[Palliative care in hematopoietic stem-cell transplanted patients: Guidelines from the Francophone Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (SFGM-TC)].

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), the only curative therapy for numerous hematological malignancies, carries a significant risk of morbidity and mortality. The patients and families' expectations regarding the procedure, the prognosis uncertainties, as well as the existence of potential new therapeutic possibilities, lead to frequent use of intensive care. Even though the transplant physicians are highly skilled in acute care, their knowledge of palliative approach is limited, making the use of palliative care insufficient and often late.

The transplant brings together the issues of donation, debt, the family romance and the incorporation of a "foreign body", evoking the classic notion of chimera.
