Patients are frequently followed from time of diagnosis or referral through end of life. The majority of patients have a diagnosis of leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, sarcoma, or multiple myeloma.
Patients admitted to this unit require complex care focusing on multi-modality treatment that includes high-dose combination chemotherapy, radiation, biotherapy, and bone marrow/peripheral stem cell transplants comprising both autologous and related allogeneic including mixed chimerism.

The most common nursing diagnoses include risk for side effects related to intensive/high dose chemotherapy, risk for injury related to severe immuno-suppression, pain, and knowledge deficit related to new diagnosis and/or treatment.
