What is Bone Marrow Transplant?

A bone marrow transplant is a procedure to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Bone marrow is the soft, fatty tissue inside your bones. Stem cells are immature cells in the bone marrow that give rise to all of your blood cells.

Types of Bone Marrow Transplants

Autologous bone marrow transplant

The term auto means self. In this transplant, a person’s own stem cells are used. This involves harvesting cells before beginning a damaging therapy like chemotherapy or radiation. After high-dose chemotherapy or radiation treatments, your stems cells are put back in your body to make (regenerate) normal blood cells. This is called a rescue transplant.

Allogeneic bone marrow transplant

The term ‘allo’ means other. In this transplant stem cells from the other person called ‘donor’ is used. A compatible relative is normally preferred but genetic matches can also be found from a donor registry. Allogeneic transplants is prescribed if you have a condition that has damaged your bone marrow cells. However, they have a higher risk of certain complications, such as graft-versus-host disease. The success of an allogeneic transplant depends on how closely the donor cells match your own stem cells.

Umbilical cord blood transplant

This is a type of allogeneic transplant. Stem cells are removed from a newborn baby’s umbilical cord right after birth. The stem cells are frozen and stored until they are needed for a transplant. Umbilical cord blood cells are very immature so there is less of a need for matching. But blood counts take longer to recover. A stem cell transplant is done after chemotherapy and radiation is complete. The stem cells are delivered into your bloodstream usually through a tube called a central venous catheter. The process is similar to getting a blood transfusion. The stem cells travel through the blood into the bone marrow. Most times, no surgery is needed.
