The following information is about Bone Marrow Transplant.
Bone Marrow Transplant Defined
A complex treatment that may be used when cancer is advanced or has recurred, or as the main treatment in some types of leukemia. The bone marrow transplant makes it possible to use very high doses of chemotherapy that would otherwise be impossible. Autologous bone marrow transplant means that the patient's own bone marrow is used. An allogeneic bone marrow transplant uses marrow from a donor whose tissue type closely matches the patient's. For leukemia, the patient usually as an allogenic transplant.
When used for advanced or recurrent cancer, a portion of the patient's or donor's bone marrow is withdrawn, cleansed, treated, and stored. Then the patient is given high doses of chemotherapy to kill the cancer cells. But the drugs also destroy the remaining bone marrow, thus robbing the body of its natural ability to fight infection. The cleansed and stored marrow is given by transfusion (transplanted) to rescue the patient's immune defenses. It is a risky procedure that involves a lengthy and expensive hospital stay that may not be covered by the patient's health insurance. The best place to have a bone marrow transplant is at a comprehensive cancer center or other facility that has the technical skill and experience to perform it safely.
