[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. The objective of this evaluation is not to pose contraindications to treatments, but to adapt the personalized care project. This identification must be carried out early on in the pre-HCT assessment journey to enable the implementation of appropriate actions by the various care providers. Based on a review of the literature, we designed a psychosocial data collection grid that can be initiated in pre-transplant and updated by accompanying the patient at each stage of follow-up (discharge from hospital, day-hospital follow-up, D100 evaluation). This grid is divided into 3 axes: socio-family context, psychological and somatic aspects. This tool allows the traceability of the interventions of different professionals and is a support for multidisciplinary exchanges.
