Bone Marrow
Transplant A bone marrow transplant is a medical procedure in which bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside bones) is replaced with healthy bone marrow cells. This procedure is usually used to treat diseases or conditions such as leukemia, lymphoma, aplastic anemia, and immune system disorders. Bone marrow transplants can be lifesaving, restoring the ability of the body to fight off disease and grow healthy, new blood cells. The procedure involves removing bone marrow, usually from the hip bone, and replacing it with healthy bone marrow cells, which may come from either the patient's own body or a donor. This transplantation has the potential to cure many illnesses and can also improve a patient's quality of life.
