Stem Cell Transplantation Journals

Stem cell transplant (SCT), sometimes called a bone marrow transplant, is a procedure in which a patient receives healthy stem cells to replace damaged stem cells. Before CTS, the patient receives high doses of chemotherapy, and sometimes radiation therapy, to prepare the body for transplantation. This is called "conditioning treatment". Once the stem cells are infused into the patient's bloodstream, they travel to the bone marrow and begin the process of forming new healthy blood cells, including white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. This process is called “graft taking”. A stem cell transplant, also called a bone marrow transplant, can be used to treat certain types of cancer. This procedure could be called a peripheral stem cell transplant or cord blood transplant, depending on where the stem cells come from. Here we are going to explain stem cells and stem cell transplantation, cover some of the problems with transplants and describe what it's like to donate stem cells.
