Tailoring a Survivorship Care Plan: Patient and Provider Preferences for Recipients of Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to develop a survivorship care plan (SCP) that can be individualized to facilitate long-term follow-up care of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) survivors.
