Long-term treatment burden following allogeneic blood and marrow transplantation in NSW, Australia: a cross-sectional survey.

Treatment burden contributes significantly to the 'workload' of survivorship and can have a severe and negative impact on BMT survivors, carers and the healthcare system-making it difficult to comply with optimal care. Clinicians must be primed with skills to identify survivors who are overburdened by the health care required for survival and develop strategies to help ease the burden.
