Abstract

In pediatric oncohematology, a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSC) may be offered depending on the pathology and the therapeutic objective. The transplant generates many repercussions, in particular related to the donation and the debt, on the physical and psychological identity of the donor and the recipient, with family changes. The multidisciplinary support of the families is essential so that everyone may find his right place.
