Bone Marrow

Transplant Bone marrow transplant, also known as stem cell transplantation, is a medical procedure in which bone marrow cells are transferred from a donor to a recipient. It is an effective treatment for diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma, sickle cell anemia and multiple myeloma, which affect the body’s ability to produce healthy blood cells. Bone marrow transplant can also be used to treat a number of other disorders such as aplastic anemia, Gaucher’s disease, myelodysplastic syndromes and immune system disorders. The procedure involves removing healthy bone marrow from a donor and transferring it to the recipient. The transplanted cells then help to restore healthy red and white blood cells, platelets and immune cells in the recipient’s body. Bone marrow transplant is a lifesaving medical procedure that can help to improve a person’s quality of life and give them a chance to live a healthy and active life.
