Types, Procedures, Risks & Recovery: What Is a Bone Marrow Transplant?
A bone marrow transplant is a procedure that implants healthy blood-making stem cells into the body to replace damaged or diseased bone marrow. A bone marrow transplant is required in cases where the bone marrow is not functioning or cannot produce enough healthy blood cells. There are two main types of bone marrow transplants: autologous and allogeneic.
