Bone Marrow Transplant
A bone marrow transplant is a medical procedure that replaces your bone marrow with healthy blood-forming stem cells. These cells can either come from your own body or from a donor. A bone marrow transplant is also called a stem cell transplant or, more specifically, a hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Bone marrow transplant has been used successfully to treat diseases such as leukemias, lymphomas, aplastic anemia, immune deficiency disorders and some other blood disorder.

- AUTOLOGOUS: An autologous transplant involves high-dose chemotherapy followed by infusion of the patient’s own previously collected peripheral blood stem cells. The chemotherapy treatments are given to eliminate cancer cells (disease) in the body. Infusion of peripheral blood stem cells replaces the marrow destroyed by the chemotherapy.
- ALLOGENEIC: An allogeneic transplant involves high-dose chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy followed by infusion of donor bone marrow, peripheral blood stem cells or cord blood. The marrow, stem cells or cord blood comes from an appropriately HLA (immune)-matched related or unrelated donor.
TYPES OF BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT
WHEN IT IS REQUIRED?:
A bone marrow transplant may be used to
- Replace diseased, nonfunctioning bone marrow with healthy functioning bone marrow (for conditions such as leukemia, aplastic anemia, and sickle cell anemia).
- Regenerate a new immune system that will fight existing or residual leukemia or other cancers not killed by the chemotherapy or radiation used in the transplant.
- Replace the bone marrow and restore its normal function after high doses of chemotherapy and/or radiation are given to treat a malignancy. This process is often called rescue.
- Replace bone marrow with genetically healthy functioning bone marrow to prevent more damage from a genetic disease process (such as Hurler's syndrome and adrenoleukodystrophy).
Bone marrow transplants can benefit people with a variety of both cancerous and noncancerous diseases, including:
- Acute leukemia
- Adrenoleukodystrophy
- Aplastic anemia
- Bone marrow failure syndromes
- Chronic leukemia
- Hemoglobinopathies
- Hodgkin's lymphoma
- Immune deficiencies
- Inborn errors of metabolism
- Multiple myeloma
- Myelodysplastic syndromes
- Neuroblastoma
- Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
- Plasma cell disorders
- POEMS syndrome
- Primary amyloidosis
Risks
A bone marrow transplant can pose numerous risks.
Possible complications from a bone marrow transplant include:
- Graft-versus-host disease (a complication of allogeneic transplant only)
- Stem cell (graft) failure
- Organ damage
- Infections
- Cataracts
- Infertility
- New cancers
- Death
