Survivors' knowledge of their diagnosis, treatment and possible late adverse effects after autologous stem cell transplantation for lymphoma.

Conclusion: The majority of lymphoma survivors treated with HD-ASCT correctly recalled diagnosis and treatment, while knowledge of late AEs varied. Our findings point to information deficits in survivors at older age and with lower mental health related quality of life. They indicate benefit of follow-up to enhance education on late AEs in lymphoma survivors.
