Allogeneic stem cell transplantation in non-Hodgkin lymphoma: Benefit remains unclear

In its final report now presented, the Institute concludes that it is not possible to make statements on the benefit of this high-risk treatment. Meaningful studies are lacking for the often very small patient groups. For some questions, the data gap could be closed with the help of disease-specific registries.

Why a patient may need a companion to speak for them—and the difficult choices they face
When a person whose communication is affected by a developmental disability (like Down syndrome or autism) needs to speak with a doctor, they often have to rely on a companion to help them.
